I can't tell if this is awful or interesting

Not much into death metal, but found their sister site Entranced.fm
Gonna give it a go now. Thanks!
Comment on: Goto and the folly of dogma
My coworker says that the use of break and continue display a poor command of conditional logic, but I think they have a purpose and can make code a lot cleaner. He would love your second example and praise it as "The most correct solution". We always argue about that kind of stuff.
As a side note I brought up the parameterized break idea and my boss said it could be very useful for continue as well. I wonder how deeply embedded these keywords are in the actual language itself. Any time I catch myself thinking "Oh! All they would have to do is X", I immediately realize that the problem is infinitely more complex than I understand at the moment.
Have you looked in to Jonathan Blow's new language that he is building? I might try to ask him on his stream what he thinks about the idea.

What a beautiful and simple solution.
Comment on: Goto and the folly of dogma
I have had many people sneer when they see a goto in my code. But usually it's in some triply nested loop that I just want to exit simply, and I always keep the goto within the scope of the function itself.
Comment on: I was looking around for STEM learning materials and ran across CodeCombat. Anyone else have any experience/thoughts about it?
You might also be interested in Codingame.com, it has more serious challenges and assumes you know the basics of the language that you will be using.
Also check out the games by Zachtronics. They are usually pretty cheap on steam and they are excellent learning tools. I've spent a fair bit of time in TIS-100, but their new game Shenzen-I/O is supposed to be even better.
I really enjoy thoughtful comments that have a dark connotation

I was hoping this would be an expandable picture. The joke is lost on the page when visiting imgoat.
Comment on: Is there a local server deployment package called WANG? (Windows, Apache, NoSql, and Go)
Well, I should have known. "A new dick joke" would have been too much too hope for. Awesome work on the sources.

Ah, it is as I thought. The calendar is such a universally accepted solution. It would be mad to make a calendar plugin...
But I'll be damned if I don't have to make the whole OS myself.

Ah, I see. So nothing to do with integer math, just manipulating the raw data to be in the right configuration?

I'm watching a series called "handmade hero" and he used the term in passing. I was compelled to look it up.
Also, for love of god, please never tell anybody about that mistake. I beg of you. On my knees with tears in my eyes. You don't have to forgive me, just never speak of it again.

That was what prompted my search. Also, my deepest apologies for "TIL I learned".

Great find! I started the data tools for scientist prerequisite just to be safe. But I plan on doing this one next.
Oh man! Forgot about that place! Thanks for the memory-jog
