The analogy could probably work for any field where strategy and tactics come into play, and it’s rather funny to see it map so well to the recent events. However, it breaks at one point… at the end of a game of Go, the game result doesn’t matter so much because both players have played a nice game, and won experience and respect.
In our case, let’s hope the chuban was actually good and the yose turns towards the public interest…

I just found about Golly on MacUpdate. It’s a simulator for the well-known Game of Life. I must say I’m bluffed: click on the image to see what it looks like from a distance…
Golly is open-source and available for many platforms including Mac and GTK.
<aurynn> I -know- this will be rejected
<aurynn> Today marks the occasion of the release of Gorm 1.0,
the Interface Builder for the GNUstep project, and with its release,
comes the obsolesence of the GNOME and KDE projects.
And a few hours later…
<aurynn> HOLY FUCK!
<aurynn> I got posted to slashdot!
<Stiivi> aurynn: it was you?? :)
* aurynn just woke up
<aurynn> Stiivi, that was me
* aurynn dances
Indeed, that was a good laugh ;-) But a sad way to go, Slashdot. And since the editors didn’t bother adding them from the other submissions, most of the interesting links have been posted by developers in the comments, among the stupid literal responses to a really fun article… For instance, GNUstep can indeed be visually pleasing, and there are videos demonstrating Gorm too…
