“Often what we do is open our house for various charity events. I don't seat according to protocol. I don't invite people because of who they are in the administration or their positions of power.

“The Escalation programmers come from a completely different background, and the codebase is all STL this, boost that, fill-up-the-property list, dispatch the event, and delegate that. I had been harboring some suspicions that our big codebases might benefit from the application of some more of the various “modern” C++ design patterns, despite seeing other large game codebases suffer under them. I have since recanted that suspicion.” DifferentBigsMightSufferingGamesSeeingModernEventsDesignBenefitsPropertyPatternsVariousListsBackgroundsDespiteApplicationSuspicionProgrammersBoostDelegatesDifferent BackgroundsEscalation Author:John Carmack

“The designation of the locality in one excludes the appearances narrated by the rest; the determination of time in another leaves no space for the narratives of his fellow-evangelists; the enumeration of a third is given without any regard to the events reported by his predecessors; lastly, among several appearances recounted by various narrators, each claims to be the last, and yet has nothing in common with the others. Hence nothing but wilful blindness can prevent the perception that no one of the narrators knew and presupposed what another records.” LastsGivenSpaceCommonRecordsAtheismEventsPerceptionDeterminationThirdsClaimsRegardFellowsVariousAppearancePositive AtheismNarrativeBlindnessPredecessorsNarratorsEvangelistsLocalityDesignation Author:David Friedrich Strauss
“A song playing comprises a very specific and vivid set of memory cues. Because the multiple-trace memory models assume that context is encoded along with memory traces, the music that you have listened to at various times of your life is cross-coded with the events of those times. That is, the music is linked to events of the time, and those events are linked to the music.” Life IsSongMemoriesEventsMusic IsModelsCrossesAssumingVariousMultipleLinkedVividTime Of Your Life Book:This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession Source: This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession
“Dutch beaches were known to me as man-made territories, as part of various land reclamation projects. But I was also interested in the media reality of the Moon landing. I wanted to use that event as a measure of time, to see what had happened in those thirty years - which happens to be my lifetime as well. I was born in 1967 and I remember seeing the Moon landing on TV when I was two. All those things were in play. Then it became a big production. It took five months to gather up the goodwill and make it happen.” MenYearsWellsMadeTwoPlayUseBigsRealityHappensWantedRememberBornKnownFiveSeeingHappenedLandMediaEventsTvsMonthsMoonProjectsLifetimeProductionsVariousBeachThirtyTerritoryMake It HappenGoodwillThirty YearsLandingDutchMoon LandingReclamation Author:Aleksandra Mir

“I have reflected a great deal on that event, and continue to do so. I cannot give you a complete answer in a few sentences. But I would say that I was struck at that time by the vehemence of the anger from various sides, and the anger was in many cases directed at those who share a Catholic faith. I understand that such anger, such vehemence arises from sincere and passionate conviction, but I believe expressing it in such vitriolic terms gets us nowhere.” GivingBelieveI BelieveSidesTermAnswersDealsCasesShareEventsCatholicPassionateVariousConvictionSentencesAriseSincereVehemenceCatholic Faith Author:John I.
