This is a shame. I suppose those tensions show up even in the naming: Go, Baduk, Weiqi. It's such an elegant, layered game. Who knows, maybe some things are better staying a little bit niche? I thought it was going to have more of a moment after The Surrounding Game and AlphaGo.
An essential part of my routine for being productive is to plug headphones or earbuds in, set a pomodoro timer, and get to work in my own little space. I use the headphone jack often, whether in the office or working remotely. I hate this trend of removing headphone jacks.
I hoping to see some discussion about Halt and Catch Fire: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt25...
I've watched a couple seasons of it via Amazon Prime video.
On one hand, it prioritizes drama and style over reality and technology. I have not watched Mad Men but I assume it is a Mad Men wannabe. One of the characters once says, "all hat and no cattle." And many scenes in HCF are indeed all hat and no cattle.
On the other hand, many of the depictions of the technology of its day are detailed and on point and very few dramas, if any, have created so many moments of "yes! I have experienced that very thing!"
As of next week, passwords will be entered in Morse code.
