Looks nice, but...

It doesn't appear to be set up to work without logging in to Steam first. That really reduces the portability.

Perhaps replace the time worked with time spent looking for another job. Despite having faced suicidal depression a time or two myself, I have no great advice to offer; but one of the things I've turned to many times is a bit in the ASR FAQ.

  5.8) But seriously, should I kill myself?

  Seriously, no.
  As posted to ASR by Ed Evans:

    Ultimate recovery stalks us all, no need to succour it.  Quit or
    take a leave with or without pay (or permission), stop seeing him
    or her, recognise that the cat or dog does rule you, call in sick
    and spend the day in the big blue room, it's only money and can
    be earned again, all the pictures will be posted again, call the
    local professionals if you really feel that way...

    And if all else fails?  Lawn mowing.

  If you're willing to take the severe step of killing yourself, you should
  be willing to take less severe steps such as quitting your job or taking a
  leave without permission.  And really, there _is_ help out there.
  Maybe in here, too.

  And more of us have been there than you may realize.  We're grateful
  now that we didn't do it.  (Most days.)  In chess they have a saying,
  "You can't win by resigning."  Keep playing; you never know.

They use AWS for their DNS, so of course it's failing...

Thank you. I think Nintendo's quote from that article is even funnier:

"Nintendo does not talk about confidential discussions with other companies. In any event, nothing came of these discussions."

Speed. I moved mostly to Ruby years ago, but when doing lots of text processing, a trivial script in Perl runs a lot faster than a similar trivial script in Ruby.

That doesn't work, unless you have an unusual Linux setup:

  $ tar -zxvf srs-epub.epub
  gzip: stdin has more than one entry--rest ignored
  tar: Child returned status 2
  tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

But you can do "unzip srs-epub.epub".

The part where your friend stopped playing you -- that's something that I just don't understand, on a fundamental level.

My brother-in-law talked about chess for years, I finally agreed to play him, and won both games. He's never brought it up again. It makes no sense to me.

Growing up, I was the youngest, so I generally lost at whatever games we played, and it never made me want to stop playing. When my significantly older brother came back home and stayed with us for awhile, we played chess regularly, and I lost a _lot_. But I kept playing, and when I finally got to the point where I won one out of three, it felt really good.

How much fun would I have missed out on if I hadn't kept playing?

"A collection of pure bash alternatives to external processes."

"They won't admit to this on their website"? I think it's more that they won't shut up about it. Their entire business model and their marketing is all based on the idea that most people are around wifi most of the time.

The cell data you pay for is your cell data usage, you (of course) don't pay them for your wifi data usage.
