pepelotas··on Some Go web dev notes
I liked gomega and ginkgo when I worked with it. But by virtue of running tests serially, the race detection becomes useless during testing, and I think it's a must have. Has it changed?
pepelotas··on Surf the web like it's 1999

Same thing but the other way. Sometimes my shirts touching my belly cause me discomfort for some reason. Now I can blame my perhaps faulty cerebellum for not filtering it out.
pepelotas··on We still don’t understand motion sickness
I was severely affected by this. However as a teenager I was able to slowly build a tolerance. At first I could play for about 15 minutes before feeling very sick and having to lay on the bed. After a couple weeks I could play for as long as I wanted.
