French here. I admit I used to eat rice with ketchup when I was a kid. I'm disgusted with myself thinking about it now.

It's a game controller. Discord was initially built for gamers.

Can probably add Baldur's Gate to the list now

Oh, the old "I know somebody with X so everybody with X is the same" ...

Where the fuck is John Wick when you need him ...

The US healthcare system has provided me with lots of entertainment value via John Oliver's Last Week Tonight. I like it for that

For real though, despite being a software engineer who could find a very lucrative job in the US in a heartbeat, there's no way in hell I'll ever even remotely consider it, and the healthcare system is one of the reasons.

I write Scala code for a living. Scala may not be the best language at anything but it's extremely good at everything. It's extremely versatile and easy to fall in love with. It's really unopinionated and has a number of sub-ecosystems that are super cool but it makes it hard for newcomers to navigate it. It attracts passionate and clever people, but as a result comes with a (rightful) reputation of being hard/expensive to hire for.

Its curse is that it's the most niche mainstream language, or the most mainstream niche language.

Didn't they get shit recently for AI and crypto related decisions ? Did they backtrack on that ?

Thank you for sharing.

My partner is disabled (not as impacting as you but rather impacting still), and I was really annoyed at relatives who tried to offer hope and advice when her symptoms started. Hell is paved with good intentions, so to say.

A few questions, if you don't mind me asking : you mentioned you were a math student, did you have a preference for a particular field ? Are you still learning maths, or did you switch to other things ?

Are you able to / do you listen to music ? Any particular preference ? Same question for movies and TV shows. Any other form of entertainment you are able to experience and enjoy, when your condition permits ?

The fuck is this ? An article that summarises a Reddit thread ?

Only the best that ever was.

Scala can also be compiled to JavaScript with really good interop with JS libraries, and to native with decent interop with C

Anything interesting you've randomly learnt recently that you'd like to share ?

A Leap-Motion

Once again, thank you for taking the time to share about your experience. I hope your deep dives take you to interesting places, friend.

I mean, even though they're not explicitly connected, Guy Ritchie has made a number of movies with similar tone/vibe and London Crime setting. I'm choosing to believe they're happening in the same universe

• Lock, Stock and a smoking barrel
• Snatch
• Revolver
• The gentlemen (which was also derived as a decent Netflix show)

There's also Layer Cake from Matthew Vaughn which scratches the same itch.

I'm confused as to why the head of state of a country would bother visiting a convicted felon.

Looks great ! Thanks for sharing

If you don't mind me asking, how long have you been working on it ? Are you working on it full-time ? If not, how do you balance it with the rest of your day ? Are you working on it alone or ... ?

I'm obsessively punctual, but my file system is like the chair... and I'm a software engineer ...

There's already 5 Highlander movies. The reboot would be the 6th
