"At CCP we firmly believe that we need to make programming as simple and intuitive for the game programmer as possible. We decided early on that in order to create a complex game such as EVE we would need some kind of multi-threaded programming. We also recognized that using scripting for game-level code was necessary simply to get things done. We were very fortunate to come across Stackless Python at a very early stage in development and ended up using it for all game logic."

A nice in-depth view on the backend architecture of EVE online. Must-Read for coding EVE-addicts (like me).

"After selling 19 cases at DEFCON at up to $200 per case, it's clear that there's a real demand in the US for Club-Mate. Many people got their first taste of the stuff "you get used to" and are demanding more as soon as possible!"

A customized bash shell suitable for git work.

The git-sh command starts an interactive bash shell tweaked for heavy git interaction:

• All git commands available at top-level (checkout master = git checkout master)
• All git aliases defined in the [alias] section of ~/.gitconfig available at top-level.
• Shawn O. Pearce's excellent bash completion strapped onto all core commands and git aliases.
• Custom prompt with current branch, repository, and work tree dirty indicator.
• Customizable via /etc/gitshrc and ~/.gitshrc config files; for creating aliases, changing the prompt, etc.
• Runs on top of normal bash (~/.bashrc) and readline (~/.inputrc) configurations.

This looks pretty darn neat.
Note to self: test!

If something doesn’t work, try something else. That’s a lesson that the FSF needs to embrace, if it wants to succeed with a mainstream audience. Being the Party of Gno, and trying to tell users to just avoid Windows, Cloud Computing, iPads, and proprietary software isn’t cutting it. It’s time to come up with credible alternatives or be satisfied with remaining irrelevant to the majority of users.

Very very very well put! It's exactly what I am trying to tell some people over and over again. Maybe someday they will get the point.

Yep. This guy implemented logic gates and a flip flop using only reason devices. He then used those building blocks to create a 16bit counter. In - freaking - reason. Pure nerd-explosion-bbq-awesomeness. Holy cow.

Very nice performance by Chapelier Fou, including live instruments, two launchpads and - of course - ableton live. win.

This video features a monome 256, Ableton Live, an awesome voice, great beats and has been shot using a Nikon d5000. 'Nough said.

It’s not a real language without braces and semi colons

So, for all of you whitespace hating trolls out there. Take this and shut up already. ktnxbye.

What you´re dealing with here is a pure javascript driven HTML5 video experience. FlAsH is used only whenever there´s no native H.264 support available. In such cases a minimalistic SWF which mimics an HTML5 video element as good as necessary (read: as simple as possible) is used.

HTML5 is coming. It should have taken over the world in about two weeks (slightly optimistic estimation).
