Re: This week on Shut Up & Sit Down…

Sadly, the news was the only post I read regularly, and I was always delighted, as much as that may sound unlikely. Thanks to everyone who put so much work into it - it showed, and it was appreciated. Life Goes On.

The game is surprisingly deep - and once the dev sorts out the progression issue, I suspect it will get a fresh look. I'm enjoying it, actually beat stage three with the Sword Master character for the very first time.

Definitely will be there. Cheers.

I am delighted that the store is reopening, and I wish Bart and his team great success.

Not only am I a latecomer to this excellent article, but I have so many old WotC NetRunner cards that I resisted ever playing the game under discussion, and will likely resist future versions for the same reason, which makes me some species of luddite.

SSX 3 / Tricky / On Tour are in leagues of their own. It would take something very special to even equal them in playability and style.

Die Hard 2 is the Die Hardiest of the Die Hard sequelae.

There is an uncaptioned photo featured in this article that shows six sets of multi-colored round (and also square) coasters. What game is that please?

I thank you.

Re: 'Card Thief' Review - It Eventually Stole My Heart

I was a beta tester for the product and I simply cannot recommend it strongly enough. The amount of care and polish that has gone into every aspect of the game is astounding, from the smallest animation to the flow of the tutorial. A very worthy successor to Card Crawl, but also a very different game, one that rewards some up-front investment with an entirely new game experience I've never had before.

So...if one wishes to purchase a complete copy of the game (=base game and all expansions, bits and bobs) it is not entirely clear how much $ one must shell out. . .or perhaps I need more coffee. . .

EOL is using Docker pretty extensively, and will continue to do so in our next version (currently in development).

Impressive! I purchased the album mentioned above, it's really lovely - and the song I was interested in is just remarkable. Again, thank you.

Thank you nva_guy! I *never* would have found this on my own, so I really appreciate your guidance.

I'm curious - how did you identify it? And were you able to identify any of the other pre-show soundtrack? We got there very early (7:05pm) so we got to enjoy over an hour of it!

Re: Photos: Sting, Peter Gabriel Play Rock Paper Scissors At The Verizon Center

I was at this concert and really enjoyed it. I'm trying to identify the music that was playing immediately before the house lights came down - a slow, melodic piece that sounded "old". Any ideas?

I'm enjoying it.

There's a lot of room in that box for (cough) expansion set tiles (cough cough).

+1 for "one of the key challenges facing biodiversity informatics is cross linking between disparate types of data and source of information". Excellent work, Rod, and thank you.

I'm a huge fan of the USGS mapping program, would love to see examples of the sort of planetary and lunar maps in the archive. Are there samples out on the Great Web?

Re: iPhylo: Bootstrapping the biodiversity knowledge graph with JSON-LD

bobcorrigan — Thu, 04 Feb 2016 16:04:12 -0000

Right now we don't have a plan to drop the API. The take away message is "it's not the only way we will serve trait data from TraitBank".

Re: iPhylo: Bootstrapping the biodiversity knowledge graph with JSON-LD

bobcorrigan — Thu, 04 Feb 2016 16:03:13 -0000

For folks who want to grab a lot of trait data, the feedback (from more than one user/project sponsor) is they'd prefer to either acquire it as a custom download (CSV file) or a bulk dump that gets refreshed per some schedule. Crawling individual taxon pages is computationally expensive for both of us. Serving files isn't.

Re: iPhylo: Bootstrapping the biodiversity knowledge graph with JSON-LD

bobcorrigan — Wed, 03 Feb 2016 15:28:08 -0000

We chose JSON-LD as our approach to exposing TraitBank data through EOL taxon pages. Now that we've refactored TraitBank and have released it again, we're getting feedback that the preferred means of acquiring TraitBank data is in bulk. It's an active discussion.

There's an impossible-to-beat level in chapter 2, very frustrating.

I'm surprised I still use this tool at all.
