Love the hats .


Got it for 14 GBP at GMG. Steam is always more expensive :(

However,  might not get access to the beta that way.

Universities finally realize that Java is a bad introductory programming language
https://thenextweb.com/dd/2017/04/24/universities-finally-realize-java-bad-introductory-programming-language/

I've never come across a language that's as bad as Java, with the exception of Visual Basic maybe.

The only useful program that I ever coded in Java was a select map->coordinate translator for OFP, so that I could teleport people where I wanted (to mazes and various minigames).

However, Javascript may be even worse.

I discovered this game by chance the other day, and it is a refreshing take on the rts genre. Takes the best from old classics like Close Combat and Sudden Strike but puts it in a modern package with some influences from Wargame, with a story mode added. No holding hands, it's a pretty hard game.

A side note is that it was taken down by Steam just a few weeks ago. The game offended some social justice warrior (violent video game, ongoing conflict etc etc) who filed a fake copyright complaint, but luckily it got back up.

Music is great too  :icon_razz2

A useful packet analyzer. Also works on Mac.

"Wireshark is the world’s foremost and widely-used network protocol analyzer. It lets you see what’s happening on your network at a microscopic level and is the de facto (and often de jure) standard across many commercial and non-profit enterprises, government agencies, and educational institutions. Wireshark development thrives thanks to the volunteer contributions of networking experts around the globe and is the continuation of a project started by Gerald Combs in 1998. "

Some buttons and links may not work at the moment. Most buttons can still be pressed "manually" though using URLs.

Section of Science / Shovels
« on: October 23, 2016, 11:38:42 pm »
Last time I went to Russia, I joked that I wanted to bring back some good shovels as souvenirs. I encountered a couple of military surplus stores, but the shovels were always in used condition. So I forgot about it.

However, I recently stumbled upon youtube videos of some in action

The above one is a reasonably priced replica. A nice piece of engineering, however, a bit too shiny for regular use.

Seems really balanced:

Turns out the stuff was on ebay all along. Initially I thought about getting foldable ones, but it seems like durability gets drastically reduced in such models. I settled for a light weight titanium model (for hiking) and a steel version for stationary purposes (car or home). Will try to "review" them when I get them, but most likely I will have to wait until it's season again.

NVIDIA's next-gen GPUs will be made on 14nm by Samsung

Nice, looks like they can improve performance further on the current designs then.
