No time to blog, so here’s a link roundup
- Cutting the Cord on Cable. Wish I could get there but live HD sports still keeps me stuck to cable/satellite provider. I’ve tried the streaming options and they are weak — poor selection of games/sources (I need ESPN/ABC channels + BTN + Fox Sports channels + upcoming Pac12 network), lots of stutter, not HD content. I will probably be one of the last cable subscribers in the country.
- Men with deep voices lack sperm. I was a tenor in choir.
- Do programming puzzles in interviews work?. I don’t think I’ve ever asked these kinds of questions, or at least not in 20 years.
- Gamification sucks. Respect your users.
- The Verge and The Wirecutter — good tech sites.
- If you are busy, you are doing something wrong.
- 10 new-ish programming languages. WOuld like to learn more about Chapel, haXe, X10, OPA.
- DSLRs are a dying breed. Not another “camera phones are going to win” article, but a smarter take on the mirrorless trend.
