I’m taking it out of context, and in fact he was talking about focusing in on your craft, not being distracted, and finishing projects that you start. “Which of these will you avoid this year, in order to finish your projects?” I think it’s also [...]

Despite being the weakest of the “main” four (strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, electromagnetism, gravity). It is the one that dominates given enough time and distances.

Using EclipseLovesCinder template
By onedayitwillmake in C++, C++11, cinder, eclipseAbout a year ago, I created a template to use the Cinder framework within Eclipse.
