Those who say ‘cola’ when they mean ‘Coca-Cola’ are very wrong. Even the fact that Coca-Cola left the market officially does not help the wrongsayers. Say ‘Coca-Cola’ when you mean it, say ‘cola’ when you mean any cola.

Also, the ridiculous dichotomy ‘cola vs Pepsi’ is terrible as it gets. Pepsi is a cola. It's like ‘pepperoni vs pizza’.

@bouncepaw I have the sneaking suspicion that the "coke vs pepsi" meme exists to boost the sales of both companies. It probably started organically, but it would cost like 0 moniez to get a few variations of the meme posted to social media every now and then and keep the meme going.

We all know what cola is the best though.

In tonight's dream, I was playing Donsol with physical cards.

Dynamic programming? More like demonic programming.

I get the same toothbrush model every time, and every time they give me a different color. It's as if they come up with new ones just to please me.

Watching K-Pop music clips is no easy business.

It's ok to be late. It's not ok to give wrong expectations, or not giving them at all.

One thing that is bad about a #DigitalGarden, is that there is no go-to RSS one is to subscribe to. Subscribe to new stuff? Doesn't make sense. Subscribe to every change? Too noisy. In the end, it has to be curated.

What tech stack would you use for a group project (5 people, including me)?, where 4 of them own Windows PC:s, and I have a Mac and arrogant, id est refusing to touch Windows-only stuff. Not only that, my Mac is an M1 one. That's compatibility issues.

All these 4 people don't know much programming. We gotta make a cool game, this is a semester assignment.

I considered the web stack. What else is good?

@bouncepaw i’ve been playing with deno a lot and cross platform support is solid. it’s mostly web api’s too, so not esoteric by any means.

i would also gladly field student questions about deno.

@bouncepaw Already been recommended a bunch but seconding Löve 2D. Fairly low tech, Lua is pretty easy to learn but extremely expressive, not a lot of abstractions getting in your way, enough batteries included to make interactive 2D games, nice community.

Thanks everyone for the responses! I'd received too many, that overwhelmed me. I will go through them later.

Today the group had a meeting where we decided what kind of game to have. Some shipwreck-themed casual game with minigames. That involved some voting and me accepting that sometimes others have better ideas. Everyone assumed I'm the leader.

But later this day, one of us got angry on minigames! He wanted to have none of them, and he holds a grudge on me specifically. How to handle him?

OK. Despite all the pains Bluetooth brings (that's a lot!), I gotta admit: wireless headphones are wonderful. I use them every day a lot. Part of my life already.

I'm just like Kirby. Can't wait to return to Dreamland.

Guess what! Guess what!! While I was somewhere unaware, Lego has released a tribute #Bionicle set!

That's Tahu and Takua!! And it seems one can't get it in Russia!! I want it 😥

I have a new subject called Introduction to System Analysis and Development. Seems to be a very good or a very answer to the question ‘Is my program good?’.
