On trivia night at a local bar, the emcee had a "sculpt something from Star Wars out of Play Dough" contest. The prize was a plush BB-8 robot.

I made an unidentifiable shape, accompanied with this message.

I won.

I have a confession. The "Packt Free Ebook of the Day" is my personal Pokemon Go. I'm now up to 398 books.

And yes, I know that this is more than I'll ever read. I still must have them all!

Ahh, I found just the thing to cover up that dopey audio branding on my laptop.

Got another one of them phone-scammers who's trying to trick me into installing remoting software on my machine.

I actually do wanna see what they do to your machine once they're in. I have an old XP image in VirtualBox that I can clone. I'll probably let 'em play around with that just to see.

A programmer walks into a bar. He says "I'll have 0x01 root beers".

The bartender pours him a root beer.

Another programmer walks into a bar. He says "I'll have 1.0f root beers".

The bartender pours the second programmer a root beer float.

So I'm writing a function in Unity3D that walks a rectangular grid. At one place in the code, I got the x+y coordinates backwards, which caused the function to infinitely loop between two coordinates.

Not seeing a way to kill the loop, I looked it up on Google. The suggestions I get are. . .

1. You need to kill the Unity3D task and lose your edits because the environment and the player run on the same thread.
2. You can pay ten bucks for an extension that lets you break out of infinite loops.
3. You should really avoid writing infinite loops. That's just bad form.

SERIOUSLY?
