“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”
Boys, as I have pointed out MANY times before, sometimes, no matter how hard you work, no matter how smart you are, and no matter how well you present yourself, sometimes (quite often, actually) it simply isn’t enough. You will not get what you want. The...
Once more, it has been one HELL of a long week. I’ve been staring at SQL code until my eyeballs ache, and I have to say, it’s not actually that much fun. SQL can do a LOT, but when you’re used to using more flexible languages like R or C++, where you...
Gentlemen, have you ever found yourself in a situation where you know you’re probably going to fail at whatever task you have been set? It is not a nice feeling. I have been in that position several times in my life. For men like us, who take great pride in a...

Y’know, there aren’t many things that really, really, really, SEVERELY piss me off – though admittedly those who have been reading my work for some time might be forgiven for snorting derisively upon reading those words. However, one sure-fire way to...
