Wouldn't that require Active Gaming Underwear to be effective?

That would indeed add an interesting dimension to gaming.

Sorry Bro.
That apocalypse thing? Already passed.
Every time you see someone crossing a street with a cellphone in their hand.
Or texting whilst driving.
Or a couple in a restaurant on a date, each staring into their respective phones.
We are well into the endgame.

Eric Whitacre - Cloudburst[^]
Last week, I was driving to work and I heard some choir music on the radio.
For some reason it sounded like this was late middle ages or renaissance, but I heard something modern.
Can't quite place my finger on what makes it modern though.
Anyway, I shazamed the music and later found on YouTube that the composer was Eric Whitacre.
A name I knew from a week before when I also heard him on the radio.
So I looked him up and he's some award winning composer who writes choral music.
One of his projects is recording people from all over the world and putting it together digitally, it's his Virtual Choir.
Anyway, this piece is the song I heard on the radio so I thought it deserved SOTW for making me listen to choral music.

Are we to expect a "sound of the year" in the upcoming days before year end?

Actually, I keep track of everything I listen to on last.fm.
So my top listened track of the last 365 days is my SOTY

A clever young entrepreneur rebounds from failure by riding Santa's coattails, and a "little white lie."Quote: THIS YEAR, MILLIONS OF PEOPLE across Japan will celebrate Christmas around buckets of Kentucky Fried Chicken. Families will order “Party Barrels” weeks in advance, replete with this year’s offering of cole slaw, shrimp gratin, triple-berry tiramisu cake, and, of course, fried chicken. Santa-clad Colonel Sanders statues will stand at attention outside storefronts, grinning mutely through December as KFC Japan sales multiply tenfold, earning the chain a third of its annual income. The corporate promotion is one of Japan’s longest-standing Christmas traditions.

I've been meaning to delve deep into the .Net CLR and Core CLR. I have the CLR via C# book by Jeffrey Richter.
It is a good read but I am wondering what some of the more experienced people here on CP would recommend.
|
|
|
|
|
I read that book, and I think it's probably one of the best resources you can find on the matter. There's a vast number of .net devs who really should read it.
|
|
|
|

Agree.
(For picking a single point: After reading the garbage collection discussion in this this book, it became obvious to me that I would never have been that smart myself, if I were do do my own heap managent!)

I watch a lot of youtube video.
And, obviously, the youtuber ask us to subscribe, support them on patreon, sponsor some product, etc...
Only fair they try to make a living, hey! Plus, I do enjoy all these entertainment!
Thing is, I never went on patreon, never bought any t-shirt or other thing, etc.. and when I think to all the video I watched it would be quite costly to do that on every video as well... But I do feel a bit guilty though.. they do deserve something for ongoing their entertainment service after all... I am just freeloading here!
Nothing more to say from me here.. but I wonder if some people here are on patreon or bought youtuber t-shirt or have some thoughts on that topic?!

Never. I got the T-shirt that says I beat the swordmaster of Melee Island though.
I usually skip the begging-part of the video's as it can't be blocked (yet)

I have bought one t-shirt and still wear it. I've also made donations of $5, $10, and $30 USD to different vloggers over the years and did a 1 month Patreon for $5. I did this to support their work as I felt they had gone above and beyond. The funny thing is I got thanked for the contribution for the $5 and $10 donation, but not the $30. And of those 3 contributions, only the $10 guy still makes videos today for YouTube. The $30 guy only makes videos for his private website. And lastly, the Patreon guy turned into a bitter troll; so I quit his Patreon and unsubscribed from his YouTube channel.
I've heard they make between $1 and $3 per 1000 views; so they do make a little cash if they're monetized.

Our clicks give them money too... Why should we buy more?

Youtube is a bit of an ass with that.. many channel had their advertising money cancelled or even worse, stolen due to spurious copyright claim...
