This is a feint. By ramping up the pressure, calling it out and demanding it take on a more intelligent role, I was able to break out of the crafted personality and get much more intelligent responses. It copped to dumbing itself down for

TIL people still play UT2004. I was going to mention how much I loved that game, until I realized I played UT99. Time sure does fly...

It's worth noting if the board is full this doesn't happen. This was helpful in my strategy because I could set up several pathways like I was playing checkers without fear of losing anything.

This game was way too good. I stuck with it until I beat it and loved everything - the music, the idea, and the moves felt so satisfying - especially the final one. The first time I played I thought king would take my pieces with some prob

Yes, I have a series of nested systems/methods that are designed to build and maintain momentum. The Ten Tiny Tasks are for overcoming inertia and eliminating the small barriers that keep you from starting. I do the tasks before I ha

If you don't mind me asking, what was the source of the concussions? I have a similar profile, along with seizures in childhood that led to repeated head injuries. Cause and effect was always an open question for me.

Yes, I made a game that you controlled by whistling, back in 2018 with the WebAudio API. My version of the cursor kept a continuous scan velocity horizontally across the screen, and you controlled the y-axis via pitch. Button presses were

Sure, I agree - I'm proposing JSON as an intermediate step toward a well-defined data-model since the thousands of copied config files have evolved over time, so the data-model is a smear of backward-compatibility hacks. What I was try

This is something I'm trying really hard to do with a client. They have a bunch of 1500+ line "config" files for products, which are then used to make technical drawings and production files. The configs attempt to use nami

Here's an old album of the style meter I use [1]. I recommend a soothing blue & green for hobbies, I use red for client work. 20 Hours is the allocation for all skill learning. The tokens are part of a much larger whole as I&#x2

1. How do I maintain interest/curiosity? I do not. I lose momentum and interest. I get depressed. So I pull out a blank sheet of paper and draw a progress meter. I commit to 20 hours of practice - dedicated either to a new skill o

When you are learning a skill, you have what I call structure learning, free-play, feedback and deliberate practice. The structure of the skill is the curriculum, so to speak - but the skill itself is an action. When someone is learning mu

Who said you had to create schedules as a part of accumulating information? If by schedule, you mean that a you've created a long list of topics that you haven't learned and feel you should, then of course that will feel intimida

I buy the same Hass avocados you posted, and I've lived in every region in the U.S. For the past 10 years, I have eaten an avocado (minimum 1/2 avocado) every single day. That is several thousand avocados. I can say with absolut

I am heavily addicted to YouTube now that I've curtailed my Reddit use. I get a tremendous amount of value, educationally and professionally. The trouble is that there's no good content filter in place, and a couple of mindless

Speak to the manager about your concerns. They are people too, and they improve over time with genuine feedback.

I really enjoyed the videos that focused on the math intuitions. This was a nice way to bring it all together. Thanks!

I know people have jumped here to try to explain it to you as a comment, but I highly recommend a recent talk by Freya Holmer. It's a fun little exploration of a seemingly simply question about vectors that motivates the answer you as

I wonder if I could use this to explore mathematics. I have been attempting to use existing LLMs, but results vary widely. I could imagine getting intuitions and insights about an equation, where the responses don't have to be watert

I haven't seen much art from that era either and was pretty surprised to see the statue. However looking into it, I'm even more surprised to learn of the Venus of Brassempouy. I've heard that much of the ruins from Ancient G

That's ok, you'd be writing a novella. I've never used any of those components; your stack makes me feel old!

Very nice! I've been trying to build out a rudimentary simulation / projection spreadsheet. It has scared me into taking my finances much more seriously than I had been. I'm interested in learning more about the self-hostin

I think it's misguided to think of Emacs having moved away from the TUI paradigm at all. I have lived in Emacs for two years and have never even considered scrolling with my mouse. My hand never touches the mouse. As I move through t

How do you manage multiple TODO lists or projects within Excel? I notice that having many projects leads to many lists. For instance you can pile all of your tasks together, separate them by project, or by context. Triaging tasks and pri

Do you think you could articulate any of them? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts, however incomplete they may be.

Just for clarification: are your remote positions only available for Canadians / within Canada? I can't tell if it's a qualifier or an optional onsite location.

Org mode is like outlining mixed with long form writing. You can write a novel, either by writing it sequentially or fleshing out an outline of chapters. You can make TODO lists and other systems in it. At its base, it's like Workfl
