like, I'm sorry the episodes are not named "dinosaurs on a spaceship" any more and don't have the doctor wearing his sonic sunglasses while he rocks out on electric guitar, but I promise this is good TV, it's thoughtful and has depth and is everything that Doctor Who ought to be about

as time goes on I feel Moffat's era was kind of like a gigantic sugary cake-filled ice cream sundae and there are some fans who are now upset at being given a plate of nourishing vegetables to eat

the old masters signed their works

Most CS students are not taught control theory and it's something that probably ought to be part of every networking course (at least the basics). So many network timing problems end up being control theory problems and people end up writing bodgy solutions

It also sounds like this might also be useful for other developers writing code for eg. fighting games, so I need to write up an article about it and explaining this stuff

Tested out the new sync code yesterday between US east coast and Norway and even with transatlantic latencies it wasn't much worse than LAN play. East coast-NZ was a bit worse but still perfectly playable

"pronounce" and "pronunciation" being pronounced differently is a pretty cruel joke that English has hidden in it
