@technomancy Respectable times.

Hey, #Emacs users, show me your emacs-uptime. No shame, no uptime too small.

It is time for M-x emacs-uptime <RET>!

@technomancy @bstacey I'm working through it in production order.

@technomancy Have you seen the Light Up The Night short? I repost it on occasion.

I want a feature film like this.

> Dr Light and Dr Wily both had controlling shares in the same robotics, weapons, and construction companies in 20XX. Theyre both the bad guys perpetuating conflict for their own financial and technological gain.

New headcanon just dropped.

Inside your NES you'll find

Two of the many possible evolution paths of C

What's a good way to teach touch-typing to a 12-year-old? Any suggestions welcome.

Finally landed a job, at a healthcare company. I had my second day today.

That was a rough job search, but I'm grateful to have landed back on my feet. I got a lot of practice interviewing!

Is the opening narration to #MegaMan 2 incorrect?

"In the year of 200X, a super robot named Megaman was created. Dr Light created Megaman to stop the evil desires of Dr Wily."

Mega Man already existed as Rock. He was Dr Wily's and Dr Light's lab assistance. After Dr Wily's first betrayal, Dr Light transformed Rock into Mega Man.

Does this mean that Mega Man was created at this point, or did he already exist before?

Serious question: what Canonical-led initiative has found true success?

Upstart?
Mir?
Launchpad?
bzr?
Snap?
Unity? (the desktop environment, not the game engine)
Multipass?

Where did the i, j, k notation for indices begin?

My earliest clue is that it probably started when we started indexing our summations. Euler :euler: used ∑ for sums, but he didn't use indices. Fourier in 1823 did use indices. Was there someone between Euler and Fourier who also used indices in their summations?

Hey, mathematical pedagoguges, are they still teaching that differential equations class in university that's a bunch of 18th and 19th century tricks to produce closed-form solutions to a narrow zoo of equations, or is everything more oriented towards describing dynamics now?

Or do you just grab a computer and punch stuff into it and get pretty graphs?

@technomancy I do it for the benefit of others, they get angry if I don't tag them.

Okay, the ship is alive? Fine, that was a good plot twist and good foreshadowing.

I enjoy this storytelling.

Oh hey, the transporter shimmery effect. First time I see it in its natural habitat. Nobody said "beam me up", though.

Should I just skip to season 2? This isn't bad, but it's a bit goofy and campy. It's fine for folding laundry, though.

@tk So this is what the S stands for.. SEPHIROTH

Today, blow a child's mind by pointing out to them how the alphabet song is set to the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.
