In this version you play the ghost of a dream of a memory of a cyborg warrior trying to find his dead wife inside a poem.
A very poetic description of The Raphael Parable by the makers of The Stanley Parable. One of the new game’s greatest innovations are “adjustable logic and emotion” settings. 😉
Zeit ist das, was man hat, wenn man die Uhren wegschmeißt.
Two great talks from RubyConf 2012:
You can find more talks from that conference on YouTube … one I already mentioned. 😉
Bruce Schneier talks about how the mechanics of privacy changed since the advent of social media, who holds control and power in the new arena, what are real issues and what are just generational differences in dealing with them. He has a lot of good analogies to make his points. 🙂
Neil deGrasse Tyson is discussing his book “The Pluto Files” … basically recounting a few thousand years of finding things in the night sky, naming them and building an understanding of what they are … case in point: (now dwarf planet 😉 ) Pluto … including his hypothesis on why Americans in particular get so worked up about Pluto not being a planet any more. 😀
I take my head off to Jim, that’s a great way to approach a weird intersection of mathematics and programming. 😉 For those who are curious … he uses a very simple mathematical algorithm to explore how you can express recursions in Lambda calculus and thus “derives” the Y combinator.
Totally useless, but worth every minute. 😉
This is probably one of the more ingenious ways to explain something like a Möbius strip. 😀
It’s like The Truman Show, at country scale.

Craig Dennis has an interesting blog post why and how you should design empty states in your apps.
