I'm dreading the day I discover a new "band" I'm totally into only to discover it's entirely AI.

Too funny. "Wait, wait, Steven...there is an app I can download that will let me track your stone skipping attempts to ensure you are trending toward an optimal stone choice, angle of attack, and release velocity..."

It's funny to use the online to help us with activities our kids can do offline.

Started creating a library of retro game clones built with PyGame for people to use as a learning resource (I was learning too). I built a crummy clone of Pong and a near pixel perfect clone of Frogger...and then lost interest. But, I'

They're trying all these things. But, to me, the Robotaxi service seems the most promising as it dovetails nicely into the auto infrastructure they've built and it can scale quickly as they can produce vehicles at a scale Waymo is

On a related note. Don't assume if your child slips/falls into a pool, you will hear it. I happened to see my daughter step off a ledge in a hot tub once and she just vanished. Not a sound. If I had been facing the other direction

Doesn't this have something to do with Elon not really having an interest in running a car company? Much of Tesla's massive valuation is based on everything it's trying to do...not what it's currently doing. I've al

Congrats! I grew up just down the road from Saline. Exciting to see this happening on my old stomping grounds. Best of luck.

It was less about having talent and more about developing in a great program - and that was just dumb luck. I grew up in a midwest farm town that just happened to have a couple incredible coaches that ran exceptional sports programs. I also

Yes, that can be a problem for sure. It's incredible how few kids I see outside these days where we live. It's even worse if their friends are all on devices all day and your kids are hearing about that. Parenting is hard.

Have you ever considered where you would be if all the hours you channeled into the sport you hated had been channeled into something you loved? Maybe you could have had the best of both worlds? Who knows... But I totally understand what yo

Sure, there will always be edge cases. That's just how the world works. Let your kids go out and ride bikes and you may end up with one getting hit by a car. Those are the risks every parent has to manage. But if we let the edge cases

I can't stress this enough to new or soon to be parents. Hold off on giving your child a phone as long as possible. Once your kids are old enough (your choice...but it's before they are teens), send them outside, shut the door, an

Having two teenage daughters who are athletes, much of this will play out for them depending on how much they really love the sport and whether they are able to play it at the highest levels. If you listen and observe your kids, you'll

The recent NCAA changes vis a vis roster limits is only making this worse. Want to be a collegiate athlete? You better be ELITE. Walk-ons are a thing of the past. As such, kids with those dreams (or overly involved parents) are pouring thei

I don't understand how anyone can get to the level where they "understand programming basics, architecture, and what good code looks like" without years of grinding code, collaborating, research, mistakes, refactoring, etc. T

It sounds like you want to learn computer science but aren't planning to become a software developer. I think of this as similar to "I want to learn to play the guitar, but don't want to be professional musician"...to wh

Completely agree. It took me much longer than I wanted to figure out what the hell Couchers is. Be direct and to the point with the language you use above the fold (on the home page...not the blog post).

My older brother had all the top of the line Sony gear from the 80s (the ES line) along with some Bose AM-5 speakers. Boy, that rig rocked.

I second this sentiment. Life is just too short for the useless...though sometimes that's hard to remember / know.

I'm a person of European descent married to a person of Korean descent. Her mother's age has always been a question mark. As she aged and her memory became less reliable, it became even moreso. Nevermind not being entirely certain

My older brother was a student at U of Michigan. Back in the late '80s, he salvaged a blue Gibson Destroyer copy from the end of the year purge. We're both still playing guitar to this day. When I was in college at Michigan State,

As a "for fun" side project, I've started building clones of retro classics in Pygame as a way to help beginners gain knowledge of procedural game dev fundamentals. Python seems like a nice entry point and Pygame works well f
