Last.fm is good because you don't have to wait until the end of the year to get roasted for your musical taste AND you can get roasted for your taste back going back past 2010.
Oh, you binge-listened to Fischer-Spooner's constipation song back in 2006? Guess what, fucko? That's in your top 10 favorite songs until you beat 94 listens.
@wigglytuffitout For the confetti, there was a single rectangular image asset that we just assigned a random color out of a set of 4. So even that wasn't so bad.
@wigglytuffitout I actually had an old project that had a confetti effect very similar, except with normal gravity. It was a few lines, mostly just describing the appearance of the confetti "particles".
@wigglytuffitout From what I recall of iOS animation APIs, it would be extremely easy to just create a bunch of colorful objects, give them random points to move to, and just set the gravity to a low value so they shoot up then slowly fall with some spin
@leftfield To be clear, I envisioned this working so that if you clicked on a link late in the book, it would send you back towards the earlier parts, too.

The replication crisis is a problem of capitalism. The need to earn grants and to publish "ground-breaking" research lest you lose your job means that no one really gets to focus on making sure all that older stuff gets published. You're better off trying to show some cool new fact than to replicate (or fail to replicate) something done 20 years ago.

I'm in tech and it feels weird.
