Linkin Park - In The End - Ten Second Songs in 20 styles.
He's done this for different songs, and some of them are funnier than others, but this one had me laugh in a few places.

I think I would buy all 20 versions.

My bandwidth sucks too much for me to check if this has been posted already.

Deadpool game, back on Steam. If I disappear for a week or two, people with my Steam name know where to find me!

Yikes, $40? The game was super fun, but that's like a two year old game, and the console versions sell for like $20 now.

Don't care, bought it anyways! I don't console game anymore, so I'll toss down the 40 bucks and call it my gaming allotment for the month. ^_^

For those of us thinking about console-buying in the future, anyone here got personal experience yet with XBox One's backward compatibility capability?

OPEN SOURCE FONT!
FIXED-WIDTH!HACK!

I've already taken a liking to this in my telnet client. We'll see how I deal with it in my code editor.

@Thenomain Interesting. Looks okay, but it's mostly based on the BitStream/DejaVu work, which I already use everywhere for most things. Not a big change from that, but more hinting annotations in the font are a good thing
I do wonder why it's released as a separate font when the DejaVu guys would love to merge in most of those changes.

@Chime
I do prefer it to DejaVu, and it's far cleaner than Vera. (We both know how dirty Vera can be when trying to communicate simple things.) Really for me, this font has already hit my "works at 11 pt with a Mu*" test that I normally reserve for Monaco. The line-height is a bit taller than I'm used to, but not distractingly.Note: These two programs I have white text on black. I react very differently to the same font in the black-on-white of a text editor. edit: I was using Andale Mono for telnet.

Well there is your problem. Use a light-text-on-dark-background color scheme in your text editor.
If you can't, get a real editor.

I do every time I try Sublime (or Sublime 2 or Sublime 3), I cannot make it do the one single thing I must have in a Mu* text editor: When selecting the contents of matched parens, also select the parens.
So I continue to use TextWrangler, which additionally extends the selection in both directions, in this instance, instead of assuming the selection anchor is always at the end. This is how I select all of
function( nested( other( functions ))). If I can't select like this, then forget it.(edit!) Oh yeah, I forgot: Yes, TextWrangler allows for color schemes, but the text rendering engine it uses has been written in-house since before MacOS was an 'X', so it's usually better on my eyes to go black-text-on-white. I will try it again, mind.

Sounds like "none of the above" is the right answer there. Keep looking.

I suppose. I can use vi and it's fancier relatives like vim. I'll probably always prefer emacs, at least for development work. It's more of a poor-man's portable lispmachine than an editor. Most of Theno's concerns are sorta hilariously irrelevant to me; I control editors with a keyboard, and mouse just gets in the way. I doubt I can give him much useful advice, but I concede that even vi in any form is better than whatever wreck he's using now.
Pro-tip: when on-site with a customer and you ask for emacs but they give you vim, smiling and saying, "I go both ways" is not quite the desired effect.

Just what do you think you're talking about!
- Alt-Arrows: Get to a word inside the function (or be sloppy and use the mouse pointer vaguely).
- Shift-Cmd-B: 'Balance' the parens with a selection that includes the parens.
- Shift-Alt-Backarrow: Select the previous word from the beginning paren, therefore giving me the function name and its entire contents.
- Typically Cmd-X: Cut out selection, go from there.
No mouse.
I altered TextWrangler's appearance and while I like it, I'm going to have to tweak the colors until it's a bit less subtle. "Hack" is thicker than "Monaco", that's for damned sure.
TextWrangler is written by coders as a coding tool for Macs since long before their Intel/*NIX transition. Comparatively, TextMate (and its kin) is a wreck.
I'd rather chew broken glass than code in VI, tho.

I use vim for quick edits and any server-side config files. For everything else, I use Atom.

I just can't stop laughing. I know, I'm childish.

Atom seems to be yet someone else's version of TextMate/Sublime. All those features that I say I rely upon for Mu* coding? They act in exactly the opposite way. (Bracket Matcher does not select the brackets themselves, the anchor of the selection is at the end and not expanding from both ends.)
I love this kind of editor, mind; it has advantages over TextWrangler, but not enough. Maybe I shall learn how to hack it, for why not. Because why not.

Atom. For when you want to fire up a 250MB web browser to edit 16KB of text.
