The City of Unspeakable Fear was a good novel, but it was its' translator's afterword that actually sold me on it being a great one. Mostly by tying the novel's own themes of forgeries and coincidences into a history of forgeries and coincidences surrounding the author and the various artists who've adapted his work. I often feel like good, entertaining reviews are closer to stories than anything else, which coupled with my love for stories about stories, means I'm tempted to play around with creating a fake review as the setup for a story. It would be a trick with a venerable tradition behind it; I'd be building on a framework that a great house has already been built on. But it seems a fun place to explore.

Re-review: Cabaret, The Kit Kat Club at the Playhouse Theatre

Re-review: Cabaret, The Kit Kat Club at the Playhouse Theatre Well, Callum Scott Howells is a bit good ain't he

Callum Scott Howells and Madeline Brewer do wonderful work leading the new cast of this still-striking Cabaret at The Kit Kat Club at London’s Playhouse Theatre “That is what comes from too much pills and liquor” I would have loved to see Fra Fee and Amy Lennox in Cabaret’s first lead cast change but the truth is, the presence of a certain someone in the supporting cast meant that I would be…

Opera on YouTube

I've shared links to complete opera performances before, but I love to share them, so I thought I'd make a few masterposts.

These list are by no means the only complete filmed performances of these operas on YouTube, but I decided that ten links for each opera was enough for now.

C++ for those who asked

Long Post Is Long, so there's a readmore here

I have never programmed before and I want to start with C++

You are possibly an idiot, but go ahead. You'll want Microsoft Visual Studio Community Edition as your programming environment. Once that is installed (During install, remember to ask for the C++ component), start your actual learning at: LearnCpp.

I have programmed before and I have reason to learn C++

Start at "A Tour of C++" by Bjarne Stroustrup, out in third edition as of September 2022.

I would recommend watching Louis Brandy's talk "Curiously Recurring Bugs at Facebook" which doesn't teach you C++ but rather reveals something about what kind of language C++ is, lets you check the Vibe.

And what's next?

Probably still good to read through LearnCpp.

Scott Meyers wrote some good books:

Effective C++ 3rd Edition

Effective STL

More Effective C++

Effective Modern C++

Read in that order. "Effective Modern C++" expands and does not replace "Effective C++"

You should also familiarize yourself with the existence of the Core Guidelines - you're probably not going to sit down and read them end-to-end (...yet) but it's good to know they exist.

Do you know other good books

Yes but... good for what? It's hard to give generic advice here - what are you getting into?

Do you know other good conference talks?

Well define "good" right? But I have a bunch that are interesting, does that count?

Kate Gregory is good at everything:

Simplicity, Not Just For Beginners - General coding principles rather than C++

What Do We Mean When We Say Nothing At All? - What are the defaults, and are they good? (No)

Naming is Hard: Let's Do Better

Other talks

Carl Cook: "When a Microsecond is an Eternity: High Performance Trading Systems in C++"

I want to learn Template Metaprogramming

No you don't

Yes I do

No you don't. You maybe want to solve some kinds of problems that are, from a performance perspective, best solved with template metaprogramming, but you don't "want to learn template metaprogramming" because you are not a fool.

If you have TMP problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but untestable, undebuggable compile-time conditional code generation ain't one.

Still, if you insist: "Back to Basics: Templates in C++" by Nicolai Josuttis gets you template programming, which lays down the foundation for metaprogramming. You go where I will not follow.

I need to leave for a job interview, post will be expanded later.

Blistering starts and solid boat handling have propelled France into prime positioning to steal Spain’s Grand Final place on a dramatic opening day in San Francisco.

Quentin Delapierre’s France - which must beat Spain in this event to leapfrog into the three-boat Grand Final - converted aggressive starting strategies into impressive 1-3-3 results and finished the day at the top of the leaderboard with 26 points.

Tom Slingsby’s Australia picked up the second race win of the day, while Nicolai Sehested’s ROCKWOOL DEN triumphed in the third. Solid results from Emirates GBR see Giles Scott’s team finish the day in second with 23 points, while the Danish are in third with 22.

Conversely, Diego Botin’s Spain seemed to struggle in the strong winds of 30-40 km/h and lacked confidence in the configuration of high speed boards and smallest 18m wing. 

Dreadful starts saw the team start at the back of the fleet and struggle to regain positions, finishing the day with 7-6-5 results and in 7th overall with 15 points.

…

Elsewhere, there was a dramatic incident at the end of Fleet Race 2 when Canada and ROCKWOOL DEN missed the finish line. Canadian driver Phil Robertson steered into the finish mark in desperation, picking up a four point event penalty and two point season penalty.

Magazine highlights: The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction Winter 2004

time for F&SF in my rotation of speculative fiction magazines!! i really like the way this one is organized, with connecting themes that flow from one work to the next. below are the works i liked the best!

"what kills the stars" - Alex Bisker

premise: a journalist remembers her ex-wife and flirts with a scientist as the world comes to an end.

gut reaction: i really like the writing of this one, very pleasant style to me! i'm into the way the structure of the story reflects the way the universe is ending. but at the same time i was waiting for an unknown something to happen that would tie it all together more, that didn't feel like it happened?

"Mackson's Mardi Gras Moon Race" - David DeGraff

premise: the underdog narrator has a secret route across a harsh lunar landscape that could win him the race and lift him and his partner out of poverty--if he can survive, and outwit the racer following him.

gut reaction: my game night GM could tell you that i LOVE A RACE. this one has compelling stakes, great pacing, and a wicked satisfying ending.

"The Wizzzer" - Scott Nicolay

premise: a gang of neighborhood kids assemble to take on a human-eating toy.

gut reaction: this was just the right combo of nostalgia, very specific narrative voice, and creep factor for me!! it has a Goonies-but-horror vibe that i really dig.

"The Diamond Factory" - Phoebe Barton

premise: the team doing a last check of a city about to be destroyed finds one lingering inhabitant.

gut reaction: i wanted just a little more information about what was going on in this story, but i liked it a lot anyway! can't go wrong with a zero-gravity vengeance fight.

"The Wounded King" - J.A. Prentice

premise: two knights and their servant enter a castle where only one man and an evil presence live, all under a sky taken up by a slowly falling comet.

gut reaction: i loved the prose of this, vivid and beautiful! nobody here is quite what they seem to be, in fun ways, and the comet adds a moody sense of dread.

"The Interspatial Accessibility Compact's Guidelines for Cross-Cultural Engagement" - Dane Kuttler

premise: an alien florist plays unwilling cupid to a hopeless human and his alien crush.

gut reaction: i belly laughed! i adore this, i adore the characters, i adore the outside view of humanity as ridiculous and having a bit of a death wish. also "Being with you is like being alone" is the loveliest declaration of feeling a person can make T^T i hope these two crazy kids figure out how to make interspecies love work.

"Cities Through Telescopes" - Richard Leis

premise: evidence of long-ago life on other planets, and a dying father.

gut reaction: this has everything i like in a poem: vivid visuals, intriguing connections between seemingly dissimilar things, and a base layer of emotion. really beautiful!

"Do Not Hasten to Bid Me Adieu" - Will McMahon

premise: an elderly man in 1937 receives a letter sent through time from his descendant, the Princess of Orion.

gut reaction: oh, this one made me cry! it felt very human, beautifully specific to a time and place but also making so clear the ability of disparate human beings to bond with each other regardless of where and when they are. i want only good things for this man and his space granddaughter.

[ad_1] Shoes are offered for sale at an Adidas store in Chicago, Feb. 10, 2023.Scott Olson | Getty ImagesAdidas CEO Bjorn Gulden defended Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, and said the rapper didn't mean it when he made a series of antisemitic remarks.In a conversation on philanthropist Nicolai Tangen's podcast "In Good Company," Gulden was asked about the retailer's partnership with Ye and how its Yeezy collaboration fell apart. "He did some statements, which wasn't that good and that caused Adi to break the contract and withdraw the product," Gulden said on the program, which aired Sept. 12. "Very unfortunate because I don't think he meant what he said and I don't think he's a bad person — it just came across that way," he added.Last fall, the German sneaker giant announced it was ending its highly lucrative partnership with Ye and pulling Yeezy products from its shelves after he made a series of widely criticized antisemitic remarks. "I'm a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I'm going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE," Ye wrote in a since deleted post on Oct. 9.Following widespread public outcry, Adidas announced it had ended its relationship with Ye, stopped production of Yeezy-branded products and ended all payments to Ye and his companies. Foot Locker and Gap soon followed suit and announced they would pull Yeezy products from their stores.Gulden, who was named CEO of Adidas about a month after the scandal unfolded, called the company's breakup with Ye "very sad" because it meant that the retailer "lost that business," which he described as one of the most successful collaborations in history. "You know when you work with third parties, that could happen and you know it's part of the game. That can happen with an athlete, it can happen with an entertainer, so it's part of the business," said Gulden. Earlier in the show, Gulden called Ye "one of the most creative people in the world," both in terms of music and street culture. Despite the public comments from its chief executive, an Adidas spokesperson told CNBC that the company's position on Ye "has not changed."Adidas CEO Bjorn Gulden defended Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, and said the rapper didn't mean it when he made a series of antisemitic remarks."Ending the partnership was appropriate," the spokesperson said.
