Putting a hardstyle track over this Bollywood movie worked amazing [x]
This is what I want from Disney right now. A high-octane big-budget summer blockbuster Bollywood Lord of the Rings Style action movie with some of the most intense electronic music ever.
I hate musicals and even I want this.
They got the dance skills
Manly men dancing to hardbass
Well you got to be a man to wear tights.lol
I would watch this until my eyes stopped working.
it’s so perfectly synced… i wanna cry, it’s beautiful
They did the impossible. They took the unbridled power and energy of a Bollywood blockbuster and cranked it to 11
host your D&D sess’ town on one of these
Disney: We’d like to get your permission to have Bowser cameo in this scene of our new video game movie
Nintendo: Sure but only if he holds his coffee cup in this specific way, we cannot have him be out of character
Ubisoft: Yo can Luigi dab in our game
Nintendo: Absolutely
Do yourself a favor. Learn to code. Here's how.
I’ve said this to my non-techie friends countless times. It’s no secret that being able to code makes you a better job applicant, and a better entrepreneur. Hell, one techie taught a homeless man to code and now that man is making his first mobile application.
Learning to code elevates your professional life, and makes you more knowledgeable about the massive changes taking place in the technology sector that are poised to have an immense influence on human life.
(note: yes I realize that 3/5 of those links were Google projects)
But most folks are intimidated by coding. And it does seem intimidating at first. But peel away the obscurity and the difficulty, and you start to learn that coding, at least at its basic level, is a very manageable, learnable skill.
There are a lot of resources out there to teach you. I’ve found a couple to be particularly successful. Here’s my list of resources for learning to code, sorted by difficulty:
Novice
Never written a line of code before? No worries. Just visit one of these fine resources and follow their high-level tutorials. You won’t get into the nitty-gritty, but don’t worry about it for now:
Dash - by General Assembly
CodeAcademy
w3 Tutorials (start at HTML on the left sidebar and work your way down)
Intermediate
Now that you’ve gone through a handful of basic tutorials, it’s time to learn the fundamentals of actual, real-life coding problems. I’ve found these resources to be solid:
Khan Academy
CodeAcademy - Ruby, Python, PHP
Difficult
If you’re here, you’re capable of building things. You know the primitives. You know the logic control statements. You’re ready to start making real stuff take shape. Here are some different types of resources to turn you from someone who knows how to code, into a full-fledged programmer.
Programming problems
Sometimes, the challenges in programming aren’t how to make a language do a task, but just how to do the task in general. Like how to find an item in a very large, sorted list, without checking each element. Here are some resources for those types of problems
Talentbuddy
TopCoder
Web Applications
If you learned Python, Django is an amazing platform for creating quick-and-easy web applications. I’d highly suggest the tutorial - it’s one of the best I’ve ever used, and you have a web app up and running in less than an hour.
Django Tutorial
I’ve never used Rails, but it’s a very popular and powerful framework for creating web applications using Ruby. I’d suggest going through their guide to start getting down-and-dirty with Rails development.
Rails Guide
If you know PHP, there’s an ocean of good stuff out there for you to learn how to make a full-fledged web application. Frameworks do a lot of work for you, and provide quick and easy guides to get up and running. I’d suggest the following:
Cake PHP Book
Symfony 2 - Get Started
Yii PHP - The Comprehensive Guide
Conclusion
If there’s one point I wanted to get across, it’s that it is easier than ever to learn to code. There are resources on every corner of the internet for potential programmers, and the benefits of learning even just the basics are monumental.
If you know of any additional, great resources that aren’t listed here, please feel free to tweet them to me @boomeyer.
Best of luck!
I’d also like to add some more specialized resources!
Video games:
Easy game engines (virtually no coding):
Game Maker Studio (2D; free and paid versions)
GameSalad (2D)
RPG Maker (2D; numerous versions ranging from free to $69.99)
Stencyl (2D; free and paid subscription versions)
Scratch (good for kids and is more general; 2D; free)
More difficult game engines:
Unity (lots and lots of platforms; C# and JavaScript script; 2D, 3D, VR; free and paid versions)
Unreal (specializes in graphics; C++ and visual script; 2D, 3D, VR; free with a royalty on successful products)
CryEngine (Lua script; 3D; paid subscription and full license versions)
Mobile game development:
Corona (free and paid subscription versions)
SpriteKit (2D) and SceneKit (3D) which are built into the official compiler to create iOS apps (see iOS apps for more resources)
also all of the above game engines (cross-platform)
Game console development:
Game Maker Studio (with a paid subscription)
Unity
Unreal
CryEngine
Note that games can also be created on more general platforms like iOS and Android apps, but the resources listed above are specialized for game development.
iOS apps:
In order to develop iOS apps, you’ll need to purchase an iOS developer program membership for $99 a year, which requires an Apple account. Here are some general resources:
Xcode (the official IDE for iOS apps; can be installed on OS X)
Start Developing iOS Apps Today (Objective-C)
Ray Wenderlich iOS tutorials (Objective-C and Swift)
Code School: Try iOS (Objective-C)
Developing iOS 8 Apps (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7; Swift)
TutorialsPoint: iOS Tutorial (Objective-C)
How to Make iPhone Apps With No Programming Experience (Swift)
Swift Tutorial: Building an iOS Application (2, 3)
iOS apps are developed in the 2 official languages of Apple: Objective-C and Swift, the latter of which is newer and generally much easier to learn.
Objective-C resources:
the official documentation
TutorialsPoint: Objective-C Tutorial
Ry’s Objective-C Tutorial
Swift resources:
the official documentation
The Swift Programming Language (free official e-book)
Swift: A Quick Reference Guide
Xcode also has SpriteKit, SceneKit, and Metal built in, all of which are incredibly useful for creating apps that require elaborate graphics, particularly games.
SpriteKit resources:
How to Make a Game Like Candy Crush With Swift (2)
Sprite Kit Swift Tutorial
Create Space Invaders with Swift and Sprite Kit
iOS SpriteKit Physics Tutorial in Swift
Build the Game of Life (Swift)
SceneKit resources:
Scene Kit Tutorial: Getting Started (Swift)

Metal resources:
the official documentation + other resources (Obj-C)
iOS 8 Metal Tutorial with Swift (2, 3)
Getting Started With Metal (Obj-C)
An introduction to 3D graphics with Metal in Swift
Also, in order to publish iOS apps, you’ll have to juggle certificates, app ids, and provisioning profiles. This process can be convoluted at times so here are some resources:
How to Submit Your App to Apple: From No Account to App Store (2)
Beginner Tutorial: iOS Certificates & Provisioning Profiles
Android apps:
In order to develop Android apps, you’ll need to register as a developer for a one-time fee of $25. Here are some general resources:
Android Studio (the official IDE for Android app development; free; can be installed on Windows, OS X, and Linux)
the official documentation
Getting Started
Android Tutorial For Beginners (2, 3)

RenderMan (specialized script; free for non-commercial/educational use and pay-per-license for commercial use; can be installed on Windows, OS X, and Linux)
Misc. resources:
Stack Overflow is an ask-and-answer community for programmers. It’s amazing and will save your life. Sign up and don’t be afraid to ask for help.
Github offers a student pack (here) if you create an account and prove you’re a student. This gives you free access to a bunch of great programming resources for free for a certain period of time, such as Unreal Engine. Also, Github in general is a site that you can host your code on. Other users can see it, and “fork” it to make a copy of your code and modify it.
Parse is a backend service that allows you to store data in databases it hosts on its own servers. It lets you use push notifications, create users, store and retrieve data, etc. It’s compatible with iOS apps, Android apps, Windows apps, Xamarin, React, Unity, OS X, Windows, JavaScript, PHP, .net, Arduino, and Embedded C. It’s free up to a certain limit that depends on the services you use.
Cloud9, Codebox, and Squad are online IDEs that allow for real-time collaboration and support a variety of languages, so they’re useful for team projects.
And some general advice:
Your program will not work right away, 99% of the time. That’s okay. Do your best to figure out where the error is. Here is some advice on debugging (written for PHP but the methods can be generalized).
If you’re stuck, Google. Google like there’s no tomorrow.
Ask questions on a community like Stack Overflow.
For that matter, browse relevant Stack Overflow questions. You can probably find some solutions there.
Don’t be afraid to copy and paste.
Take breaks sometimes if you’re getting burned out. But don’t stay away from your projects for too long or you’ll lose track of its status.
Backup your code. On the cloud, on a USB drive, wherever. If your IDE has a backing up feature like snapshots, use it whenever you hit a milestone.
If your project is big, split it up into milestones and set goals. Don’t tackle everything at once.
Like the OP said, coding isn’t just for professionals and “geeks” anymore. Anyone can learn it if you really try, and with the rapidly expanding tech industry, learning coding can really broaden your opportunities.
If any of the links are broken, or you have a question or some information/resources to add, you can contact me through the askbox or the OP through his Twitter (as mentioned in his post).
If you’re interested, try some of these out and best of luck!
Great work expanding on my humble list to include a much fuller collection of resources for learning how to code! Cheers!
Reblogging this language I will probably never be able to learn
Weirdly anti-millennial articles have scraped the bottom of the barrel so hard that they are now two feet down into the topsoil
its so wild like “this generation with no fucking money is learning to prioritize essentials” and all these chucklefucks can write is advertisements for these companies
at least our jeans won’t tear at the seams after two washes
FUCK FABRIC SOFTENER IT’S UTTERLY POINTLESS
AND FUCK DRYER SHEETS LITERALLY NOBODY EVER HAS ENOUGH OF A PROBLEM WITH STATIC TO WARRANT PAYING OUT THE ASS FOR THAT SHIT
DO YOU WANT CLEAN CLOTHES? YOU DON’T EVEN NEED TO BUY FUCKING DETERGENT JUST MAKE YOUR OWN* IT’S SO GODDAMN EASY AND 80X CHEAPER
FUCK THE ENTIRE LAUNDRY INDUSTRY *Fuck The Entire Laundry Industry Recipe
1 cup Washing Soda (not Baking Soda. Different things.)
1 cup Borax (not Boric Acid. Also a different thing.)
½ cup - 1 cup grated bar soap (you can use literally anything. I often use Ivory because it’s easy to get and I find it works well, a lot of people like Fels-Naptha, which is an actual laundry bar. Some people use Dr. Bronner’s. Really does not fucking matter.) After grating your soap, combine all ingredients. That’s it. That’s the whole thing. Use maybe a ¼ cup per load.
^^^ I’ve done this for years now and it works as well as any store bought detergent
WHAT Thank you, tumblr user awfullydull! Your URL does no justice to the good advice you give!
Also you can MAKE your own washing soda very VERY cheaply.
Step one: acquire $5 bag of baking soda from Costco.
Step two: lay that motherfucking baking soda out on a baking tray.
Step three: bake the baking soda on a tray in an oven at 400° for 1 hour (to make the moisture evaporate, leaving washing soda)
Step four: revel in how easy and cheap it is to make your own washing soda, and maybe take a moment to be angry that the industry upcharges the fuck out of something that is so easy to make.
I see some of y'all complaining about static and/or wanting nice smelling laundry. Go to a craft store, find 100% wool yarn balls. If it doesn’t come in a ball, ask an employee to make it into a tight ball for you. Wash in the washing machine to make it felted. Remove from washer, add a few drops of essential oil to the ball, allow to seep in. Dry with clothing. Doesn’t need to be rewashed ever, and if it stops smelling, add few more drops of essential oil. Bam, reusable dryer sheets.
I love this post so much it’s filled with helpful advice, hatred, saving money, and fucking the system all in one
Keeping this.
Also, if you want to use dryer sheets, just rip those puppies up into smaller ones. Work just as well and you don’t have to buy them as often.
If your washer is high efficiency you actually only need like two teaspoons to a table spoon of the home made detergent. I make a batch that costs 8 dollars and lasts about two years. I will recommend using an all natural bar soap, if possible. The highly processed ones can leave oily residues. I use the fels-naptha, but that can be hard to find. Either way you can use your kitchen grater, or if you cut it up into smaller chunks you can put it through a blender. If you use a blender be sure to blend it with the washing soda, so it turns into powder instead of paste.
Oddly Satisfying

Archive.org unleash a windfall of lost music
Archive.org deliver a windfall of lost music.
If you’re looking for a good way to spend the rest of your week, Archive.org have unearthed a gigantic collection of cassettes from the mid-eighties into the mid-nineties. According to their notes, the collection was saved from the archives of noise-arch.net and donated by former CKLN-FM radio host Myke Dyer in August of 2009. Due to the size and obscurity, the collection hasn’t been properly notated but is said to include cassettes ranging from “tape experimentation, industrial, avant-garde, indie, rock, DIY, subvertainment and auto-hypnotic materials”. Head to Archive now to download the free collection.
I know that some of you will lose your minds over this.

I started playing Baten Kaitos and started crying when I saw Lyude’s weapons……..
Maybe I’ll make one for all the characters but I doubt any of them will be as good as this one
I apologize for putting this in the tags.
Been replaying Baten Kaitos.
There’s some good flavor text in it.
