Comment Power back up in Barcelona now (Score 1) 138

My power went out at 12:32pm and back on at 6:17pm. The city handled it well, everyone was calm. Stores were running on flashlights and cash, cops at every major intersection directing traffic, airport apparently functioning normally. It took another 4 hours for my fiber Internet to come back up.

Comment Doom movie playing on Thai TV right now (Score 1) 95

This is right up there in coincidences! I come across this article while I'm watching the DOOM movie on Thai TV channel MONO29. This channel shows English movies from a while back (probably because they're cheap) and also things like Chinese legend movies. I remember playing DOOM back in the day and couldn't change the channel, remembering how bad the movie is.

Comment In my day we printed out our code and we liked it! (Score 3, Insightful) 36

When I was a CS TA in Canada back in the '80s, students had to print out their code and the results of the run and drop it in a locker by midnight on the due date. The TAs would read the code and the run result on paper and grade based on correctness, algorithm efficiency, commenting, data structures, etc. We didn't have the web to copy/paste code snippets or entire solutions or a vast array of libraries. I think we better understood what was going on in the code and it made us better coders and debuggers.
