guildan··on A 3400-year-old city emerges from the Tigris River
The History lf Rome was my first podcast I've listen to. It is such a treat to listen. I've tried to continue with The History of Byzantium and it was just not the same. So now I've picked up Revolutions since I think it was really Mike Duncan style I appreciated (well that and the Romans)

guildan··on It’s Not Your Team, It’s You
You don't have much control over mistakes they can make, but you have a better control on your own mistake or what you can do to prevent them from making some of theirs. By focusing on you and what you can do to help, you're being a positive force in the team. When other members of my team help me or do actions that prevent mistakes I can do, I'm so happy to give back to them. If the only thing they do is complain to me, well you just sap my motivation.

What I found out trying out more vegan food or vegan receipes is to stop looking at them as replacement of somehting and more like a novelty. Since I've done that everything taste much better to me because I'm trying the taste and not comparing it to anything.

4 seasons by Vilvaldi might be the first example that came to mind that hot and cold was express in a piece of music.
guildan··on Could Get Millions to Turn Factory into Condos, Is Not Selling
Would you have an article or the name of the company. It seems like it could be a good read!
guildan··on Reddit is raising a huge round near a $3B valuation
I'm an avid gamer, but honestly I can't read popular gaming subreddit (wow and halo for game specific sub), it's almost depressing. There's so much flames and complaints that you can even appreciate something without getting a lot of flake.
guildan··on World of Warcraft: one simple line of code can cost you dearly (2016)
I would add that you can suffer from "Altolism" too and this was my case. I could not commit time for raiding or doing high-end content so I would just levels characters to max level.

So one main for solo content of the week and then back to leveling alts.

guildan··on World of Warcraft: one simple line of code can cost you dearly (2016)
I was using Wow to evade the stress from work and life in general. I was doing this at the cost of my family. So week nights instead of doing something with my wife, I would just jump in online and play. I was watching the kid but she's playing by herself and not need me directly, guess I can do a few quests no problem.

So my problem was that gaming was winning over other things all the time on almost every occasion. I was evading responsibilities at home, neglecting my relation with my wife and not giving quality time to my daughter.

So now I'm like 3 months free of gaming and while being hard , I can now see I was using it not for the right reason.

guildan··on World of Warcraft: one simple line of code can cost you dearly (2016)
I know you're probably saying this in terms of money, but I had to stop because it was an addiction to play Wow... This game is so addictive to me (I'm sure not just me)! I can't watch streams because it will give me the urge to play.

I hope one day I'll be able to play it normally, but I'm not sure. So yeah definitely it can "cost" a lot to play.

guildan··on Puffins are in trouble
Compared to a lot of other kids shows, I find that it's still fun to watch but it's also really relaxing. The music, the narration and the design have a calming feeling to them. Really a good show :)
guildan··on Craft: A simple Minecraft clone written in C using OpenGL shaders
What I find is really helping is if one of the parent is at home. You can do so more things that way during family time and personnel time. Oh sure you say goodbye to restaurant, travels and other "expansive" things, but it's really crazy how I prefer that lifestyle.

It helps that I commute too so I have some free time for leisure, so back at home I don't need/want to pass as much time on "wasteful" activities.

guildan··on Show HN: Baby Buddy
Don't hesitate to ask for help from people you know both of you will appreciate getting help from.

Don't take too much time for tidying up the house yourself, you need energy for the baby and take time to get to know him/her.

The first week was a complete change in our life, we were exhausted and so much had changed. But you get through it with help from others if you need it ( I know we did need a lot of it ).

The more important I think is take the time to get to know your baby, take the time to appreciate and share those moments with your SO, and do things the way you want (as long as it's secure).

Good luck :)

guildan··on Reverse Engineering an Eclipse Plugin
The plugin that is inspected in this article is now delisted in the Eclipse Marketplace. You can't download it from there anymore (Checked with STS 3.9.0.RELEASE). A new fork without the ad related code as been publish and you can inspect the code on https://github.com/ecd-plugin/ecd .

It's nice to see the community stepping in to "fix" the situation.

guildan··on Twitch nabs exclusive streaming deal with Blizzard for e-sports events
I had troubles recently too with Twitch and Chromecast. I was trying to watch Heroes of the storm Mid season brawl, and it was always saying that it could not display the stream. Other channels were fine. Would it be a case of encoding like others comments are suggesting?
guildan··on Saved by the compiler: Parallelizing a loop with Rust and rayon
I'm on Firefox 49.0.1 and the homepage did crashed mine too. When I visited the homepage, the bottom part was just a white space with nothing in it. Every other windows where unable to display their content anymore. (not the same guy as the first one who's browser crashed, but since my browser was not heavy customized I though would like to know).
