A Wizard’s Lizard – which sounds like a dirty, dirty euphemism – seems to be heavily inspired by another game. See if you can guess which one. PLOT. This screen, dark though it may be, contains all the clues you need to know about which game heavily influenced this one. It all seems to have gone a bit Dark Souls here - I died and now I’m unhollow? Or hollow-but-angel?

There’s probably some trick to Antichamber that I’m missing because the only non-obvious puzzle part I managed to figure out were the dreamcatchers and even then the wall had to hint heavily at it. Which is a shame because it looks lovely. Probably one for the philosophy students.

In my consulting work, I encounter a pretty high quantity and diversity of codebases as client projects flow in and out. For many reasons, it is very common for a project to get increasingly messy with time, and often by the time it drops in my lap, it's a certifiable mess. Dealing with a mess can be a huge drag and productivity drain as even the simplest debugging investigation is rife with confusion, duplication, misdirection, etc. Here....

The world of javascript code linters is a fertile breeding ground for vociferous debate over unimportant details. It's easy to stray into the bad patterns of arguing with colleagues, playing "curly brace police", and other variants. However, used well with the right mindset and team communication, good code linters and autoformatters can be truly valuable additions to your development workflow and tool chain. If you haven't yet discovered....

Parallel programming is a very difficult, but sometimes a necessary task. Modern computers contain multiple cores and any complex algorithm that is not performing parallel processing is not exploiting the full potential of the hardware. In this Java 8 Streams tutorial we will show you how to convert a Stream to List using parallelStream(), filter() and collect(), how to convert an Iterator to Stream and count strings. The Streams API in..

Wow, that was intense. This blog used to just be for my family and friends to check in and make sure I hadn’t died in some horrific truck-related accident, but since I made the highly questionable call to share my story publicly, it’s been a whole different story all together. It’s been a crazy few days, and I have a ton of thoughts on it. This is going to be my longest post by far, and I apologize in advance if it reads like one long rambl..

Abysmal. Awful. Arse. Atrocious. I’m beginning to associate cut scenes and voice acting with games that should be put into the bin before they’re even made. Also - picking 1440x480 as my screen resolution and only offering 1366x768 as the best option (“This change will take effect when the game restarts”) is a guaranteed deletion. Sorry chaps, you got one chance and you blew it.

Naissancee is lovely in a style sense but since I’ve already lost the tutorial droid within the first 5 minutes, got stuck in a room I can’t get out of without dying -and- being returned to a point two steps before a level load, I’m not going to bother playing it any more. Just enjoy the pictures.

Big banks and other financial institutions are still attempting wholesale Agile transformation by just hiring dozens of Agile coaches and embedding them in development teams. They are sorely mistaken if they think they can improve IT performance as perceived by the business merely by getting everyone to adopt Scrum, hard as that in itself may be.

This morning I was awoken by myself – or rather the 1985 version of myself. He (I’ll refer to the 1985 version of myself in the 3rd person here forward) was in a panic and was yammering about something to do with changing history. He asked why my pants were inside out, and I wondered why he was wearing a life preserver. According to him, he had driven a time machine from 1985 to this day (October 21, 2015) in the future to stop me from maki..

I -think- Crawl is some kind of retro-styled take on Dark Souls but … I didn’t really have much of a clue what was going on. Maybe with more reading of instructions and tips it would make sense. Everyone worships Teok, right? Pretty sure I’ve just had my innards tenderised here. It does have a nifty death animation. And then there’s something about upgrading monsters based on how much wrath you have?

SICP in Clojure - Chapter 5 In one of the previous blog posts I have announced that I would like to start a new series of posts. It is a persistent journal from my journey through aforementioned book. I hope that you will enjoy it and find it useful - the main goal is to make this series a place where we can return in future, recall ideas and thoughts that accompanied reading process. Introduction We are heading to the end of the book. I....

If you haven’t read the first post on fairness, I suggest you go back and read it because it motivates why we’re talking about fairness for algorithms in the first place. In this post I’ll describe one of the existing mathematical definitions of “fairness,” its origin, and discuss its strengths and shortcomings. Before jumping in I should remark that nobody has found a definition which is widely agreed as a good definition of fairness in th..

I ran into an interesting effect this weekend while working on some parallel counting code. After a little experimentation I determined that it is likely to be a false sharing effect. False sharing is where the same cache line is read/modified by multiple different threads in a loop, and can cause major performance degradation. The counting code loop looked like this: for(size_t i=0; i |

The visuals are nice but it zooms in and out like a pumping weasel is at the controls and seriously - if I’m a rocket ship, left means “turn left”, it NEVER means “fly left”. Shame, really, because the visuals are lovely.

Kroky Putina v Sýrii demonstrují slabost Putina", - řekl Obama a zaplakal. V Kyjevě odkryli pomník "Ukrajinec, čekající na bezvízový režim s EU" 73-letý Biden a 69-letá Clinton vyzvali 63-letého Putina uvolnit cestu mladé krvi. USA pomohli Ukrajině koláčky na Majdanu, Rusko pomohlo Sýrii SUšenkami. Ukrajina zatím požaduje odpustit dluh 3 miliardy dolarů po Rusku po dobrém. Pokud Rusko...
