In the introduction of the event, I tell attendees their job is to meet people and make friends. They are supposed to join groups, battle past that awkward silence that occurs when they do, and have a great time with new people.
The Pac-Man Rule
When standing as a group of people, always leave room for 1 person to join your group.
We are left with A1, A4, A5 and A9 as somewhat relevant and a dozen of other attack vectors common app faces with no single mention.

J'y serai :)
Bienvenue à cette nouvelle édition de l'increvable, indéboulonnable, inoubliable, charliessime (actualité fait loi), impertinent Colloque Bob le Rôliste.
Cette année, Bob vous accueillera le samedi 3 mars 2018 à partir de 14h00 à la Maison des Jeux de Nantes !
Some gripes about Go from this blog, specifically around developer ergonomics (syntax highlighting and language-inherent error detection), politics, packaging and distribution, GOPATH, and the tuple-oriented error handling idiom. As R. I. Pienaar noted, the Go community seems full of “at-Google-wes”, which is an excellent way of putting it.

Finding and extracting well-looping segments from a movie requires much attention and patience, and will likely leave you like this in front of your computer:
To make things easier I wrote a Python script which automates the task. This post explains the math behind the algorithm and provides a few examples of use.
This week I discovered the fantastic glitch art Reddit community (for a little more context on glitch art, wikipedia has a page). These are the pieces I love the most (click on them to find the source):
Très intéressante lecture.
La section "DESIGNING FEMALE CHARACTERS" donne de chouettes conseils pratiques.
Quelques extraits:
Often it is not a serious problem if gamers don't quite understand their character's mindset or fudge the details on behavior. It is just a game, and rarely will a real Mafia hitman or elven wizard be watching and criticizing the level of realism.
But when playing a character (or NPC) of a different gender/ethnic background than yourself, the line between poetic license and offensive stereotyping thins, especially if someone of that gender/ethnicity (or someone who is dating one) is sitting right across the table.While it is pleasant for gaming publications to assume players and gamemasters lack flaws, playing in many campaigns quickly proves otherwise, and it is individuals' behaviors which are responsible for shaping and eventually changing the gaming community.
A disturbingly large number of male players we have seen make female characters in these two stereotypes [a "Complete Slut" or a "Total Bitch"] -- inhumanly beautiful babes who sleep with anyone to get their way or obnoxious, whiny or cruel "ice queens."
Women don't think of femininity as different or strange, any more than men think it's odd to be male [...]. When growing up [...], you assume everyone is just like you. Most self-confident little girls growing up in modern America see that they can do anything boys can [..] If anything, women seem superior to men. (Of course, not everyone has a lot of self-confidence.)
A 45-year-old woman who calls her mother every day is considered to have a good relationship with her. A 45-year-old man who calls his mother every day is considered "tied to her apron strings.
As hard as this might be to hear, often the problem is not that the women don't like games, but that women don't like gamers.
As one long-time female gamer confessed to us recently, "even though everyone in my present game are really nice to me, I never feel included in their jokes. When they try to include me, it ends up feeling like they're doing me a favor rather than accepting me as an equal participant."
On my personnal server, I used to send myself alerts by email using the handy standard mail command.
However, recently it appeared that my server became categorized as "spammer" by some online service providers,
due to the alerts frequency (a little bit more than one per day).
Hence, I got …

Awesome glitch art
This whole story is really sad, and a blow to the open source community.
The whole thing was brought to court in Texas : https://dockets.justia.com/docket/texas/txndce/4:2016cv00110/269823
Steven Jungels last words on this project : https://github.com/transcode-open/apt-cyg/blob/master/status.md
Interestingly, it was never even mentioned on the Cygwin mailing list:
https://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/search.cgi?cmd=Search!&fmt=long&form=extended&GroupBySite=no&m=all&ps=10&q=%22apt-cyg%22&sp=1&su=title&sy=1&type=&ul=/ml/%25&wf=2221&wm=wrd&s=DRP
Btw, I did not know that Cygwin was now founded by Red Hat.
There is a little bit of interesting history of the project on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cygwin
Commits are still regularly made on the project:

Ces dernières 24h, j'ai eu cette lubie stupide de vouloir utiliser l'API Tickets Restaurant. Une API qui n'est pas documentée. Dont le site est en ASP.NET (beurk). Qui a une app officielle android.
Ahah !
Bref, j'ai tenté de reverse-engineer un APK alors que je n'ai même pas de smartphone …
Plusieurs solutions:
- L’API C de CPython. Y’en a qu’ont essayé, ils ont eu des problèmes…
En utilisant cette méthode, vous aurez accès à tout l’interpréteur Python et vous pourrez tout faire… mais à quel prix ?
Je ne vous recommande pas cette approche, je me suis cassé les dents pendant 4 mois dessus avec un succès mitigé.- Cython est une bonne solution mais plus orienté sur l’optimisation de code.
- CFFI: le saint Graal, alléluia!
Il y a trois moyens d’utiliser CFFI, comprenez bien cela car c’est la partie tricky:
- Le mode ABI/Inline
- Le mode API/Out-of-line
- Le mode ABI/Out-of-line
Relative to tweens, aliasing and release version optimizations
Le week-end dernier, j'ai participé à ma première Global Game Jam, à Nantes. Dans cet article, je vais vous présenter comment elle s'est déroulée, et faire le point sur ce qui a plus ou moins bien marché pour notre projet, The King Must Know, dont voici l'écran d'accueil :
