    From http://www.rutschle.net/gaming/shooting.shtml :

    "Although I don't play video games much anymore, I have to admit to one addiction: I love shoot-them-ups. I loved playing them in the 80's when I was a kid. I retired for more than 15 years as I went to university, got married and so on. Then suddenly in 2010, I heard of Hydorah, and found myself trying to kill sandworms during meetings."

    "The gig I have as the drummer in King Crimson is one of the few gigs in rock 'n' roll where it's even remotely possible to play anything in 17/16 and stay in a decent hotel"

65. Python unit testing frameworks: Nose, Pytest 2015-02-13

    [ permalink ]

    Python's built-in unittest module is quite cool, but a bit limited and way too verbose (read: it's quite not easy to incite developers to write unit tests)

    I'm currently looking for more dev-friendly solutions, the key points being:

    • writing test code should be easy and straight-forward -keep the focus on "what to test" instead of "how to transcribe a process to a test"
    • parallelization! -we, spoiled developers, should make good use of our way-too-many-cores build machines...
    • complete feature set!
      • we don't want to just run tests...
      • coverage reports (find dead/weak/untested code sections)
      • output formatting (JUnit-XML seems to be quite a common format out there)

    There seem to be 3 solutions in Python:

    • stock unittest + project-dependent customizations / test helpers
    • nosetests
    • py.test

    And 2 ways of gettings things done:

    • keeping things stock: no external dependency, project-specific implementation...
    • using a test framework: one more module in your (test) virtualenv, more concise tests, more features (// run, code coverage, etc.)

    Classic Disney animated films. Now with Grumpy Cat!

    This series features well known Disney films with the Internet's most famous grouchy feline in place of one of the characters.

    The concept is simple: the appearance of the cat must derail the plot of the film.

76. Pete Griffin's top 10 albums of 2013 2013-12-24

    tags: funk, groove, heavy, jazz, metal, progressive, rock

    [ permalink ]

    Because year-end lists are hip, here's 10 albums I loved from this year with tiny blurbs why, in no particular order: Intronaut - Habitual Levitations - Heavy, but thoughtful and risk-taking, truly original music Frightened Rabbit - Pedestrian Verse - Incredible songwriting and arranging. Moderat - II - Production and grooves! Revocation - Revocation - Thrashy yet refined and technical Fat Freddy's Drop - Blackbird - Deeply funky grooves in the reggae/r&b vibe Cloudkicker - Subsume - Gorgeous layering of guitars upon guitars anchored by some killer math-y grooves. Dawn of Midi - Dysnomia - Deconstructed jazz trio music turns into mesmerizing overlapping loops. The Dillinger Escape Plan - One Of Us Is The Killer - Exactly what you'd expect from DEP, which is not knowing what to expect. Equally spazzy and melodic. Jaga Jazzist - Official Page - Live w/Britten Sinfonia - Re-arrangements of 10-piece neo-jazz compositions to allow room for a full orchestra, it sounds big! Shining - One One One - A refinement of their metal/jazz sound into incredibly powerful 4 minute songs.
