I'm sorry man, I don't check hubski often enough and had a pile of these in my inbox. Mind taking me off the list? I'll follow the tag so when I have the time I can check it out - thanks!

I'd be down to participate! Maybe tag me in the first movie post

For lack of a much better word and phrasing, that comic was just dumb. I'm pretty tired of this rhetoric.

Awesome! Sorry that I haven't been here for a while, I still lurk!

And I still have these - https://imgur.com/Da0w1WU

I'm dissapointed that I haven't been as active as I'd like to be, but it's been great lurking and watching the community grow!

Yep. I also deal with that unfortunately.

"Help! Github isn't working"

Well thanks, but I'll need more than that.

joelg236  ·  3900 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What's something you're interested in but too lazy to learn?

Ideally, some higher level math. It's just so much work and hard to get through without a teacher on my back.

joelg236  ·  3900 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What's something you're interested in but too lazy to learn?

Github for windows. Saves me thousands of seconds. I taught two almost completely computer-illiterate people how to contribute to my projects.

Something odd just happened a few minutes ago. It went silent for a good 50-60 seconds. Kind of eerie actually.

joelg236  ·  3910 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Listen to Wikipedia (yes, you read that correctly)

This is one of the cooler things I've ever seen.

joelg236  ·  3911 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Github needs a new button

I'm genuinely happy that you recognized my name from hubski. Glad I've made a lasting impression. :)

joelg236  ·  3922 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Why do you run?

Where do they get the money?

joelg236  ·  3924 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Why do you run?

Never heard of such a thing. But yeah, I definitely get into to it really quickly. It just seems natural to be outside running around.

joelg236  ·  3925 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Why do you run?

I try to go everyday. Once you've been running for more than 10 seconds, you basically can't stop. You can just feel the goodness of doing it.

joelg236  ·  3945 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: School is out --ask Hubski: what do you think of home schooling?

My friend was home schooled for 11/12 years. She was more outgoing because she had to be, but she missed a lot of social queues and norms. It was pretty often that I had to tell her that what she was doing wasn't exactly appropriate for the situation.

In the scope of education however, it was great for her. So there's some advantages there.

Reddit is pretty different though. People naturally (through voting) choose the best jokes. There's no value in just stealing content for page views.

joelg236  ·  3950 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: 21 jokes only nerds will understand.

So this is just a really bad webpage with comments in a reddit thread? Why not just link the thread?

It's literally disgusting.

I love those guys. You just know mosquitoes will be gone soon.

What... What just happened?

joelg236  ·  3955 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Yes, your code does need comments.

Cool, thanks for the update.

joelg236  ·  3956 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Yes, your code does need comments.

Any chance it'll be out soon? I'd love to learn Android and make an app for it.

joelg236  ·  3960 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Hubski Update: More RSS

The fact that I still use it probably means something. It's feature complete and stays out of my way, so I think it's good for me.

Check this out.
