I only wish the corporations had made the effort to improve _my_ education like this. These darn young’ns don’t know how good they’ve got it.
THE ABOVE IS A SATIRICAL COMMENT. Just so you know.

Interesting idea over at CleverCS: Software Development as a Spectator Sport. I know that as a developer, I like to learn about how other developers work, or the decisions that led them to their implementations, etc. Making those sort of things accessible to a wider audience has some merit.
Of course, there are ‘popular’ books on topics in hardware and software development, and they do sometimes do a good job of making the content interesting to non-geeks.
I have also pondered the idea of ‘real-time development’, some sort of system that can let software development occur in a more continuous fashion than the typical edit-compile-debug cycle. That sort of system would possibly make for some interesting spectating too…
(I think there are a few projects out there in the world trying to create a real-time development system, but I haven’t researched them too much…)
Hey, remember that TV show where you watched people compete in arcade video games? I very vaguely do… And that vague memory is vaguely related to this post.
I love the weird situations that can come from bugs in simulations. I remember having a lot of fun playing with Transom Jack (which I guess is now Tecnomatix Jack) and purposely getting the parameters out of the healthy ranges… I think these sorts of behaviors can tell us something interesting about the subject of the simulation, too.
I was reminded of this while playing a game, as I watched the cracks in a windshield fall off the windshield and bounce around on the ground. How often do you see _that_ in real life?
Isn’t it weird when you’re coming home and find that your block has been blocked off and is now full of fire trucks, hazmat teams, cops… I think it is.
Glad the bizznizzle was across the street and turned out to be a false alarm anyway.
Here’s a worthwhile post no I swear: in my quest to understand the state-of-the-art in ultraconvenient cooking, I tried two Hormel bacon products: their pre-cooked and their microwave-ready.
Both are damn expensive. The pre-cooked is too thin and doesn’t crisp well. The microwave-ready is a pretty good thickness and can be made crisp. However, it suffers the excessive-packaging syndrome (there’s a pad in there to suck up the grease, and a big bag to hold the spatters and steam in).
So, there ya go.
