A few ideas: * Processing * Love2D * Unity / Godot * Pygame In the past, Flash filled this niche, I think (although I never programmed in it). Looking at my own list above, and others' responses, I don't think this niche has

You're an outlier for sure. Wii internals sounds very hard.

THC is only part of the story. If you change this to cannabinoids in general I'd be more inclined to agree. CBD in particular is very important to regulate balance out the negative aspects of THC.

Agreed, I liked the graphics especially. The concept of waves is really nice. It supplant my previous visualization of these kind of tasks, which was more "spiky".

Let's imagine that for any desired outcome you can empirically derive a function of the form: success ~= ability * effort * environment Let's take your effective intelligence as your measure of success. Then your ability is your i

That's terrible. Hope things worked out for you after that.

The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear its fill of hearing. What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.

CAPTCHA is a big problem but not impossible to overcome. It's an arms race. That said, CAPTCHA can be defeated by changing the landscape of incentives in favor of giving the consumers what they want. The consumers will use these user a

It's amazing that anyone is willing to do this, just so that other people can play the game. Then again, once you've done it, now you can turn off your internet and play the game in peace, so it's not 100% only altruistic.

<bad-idea> Maybe what will evolve the space is automatic translation from any possible format to any other format using AI. You don't need to manage a server or store anything in any particular way in any particular place. Instea

I recommend checking out O'Neill's book The High Frontier where he lays out a plan for how to do this. Keyword: regolith Mars is at least 10x harder. The path to space settlement is in our own backyard.

You missed the most important step: "???"

Except that Mars is a terrible location for a settlement in the next 100 years. Bezos has the right idea, leaning into O'Neil cylinders.

It's true and yet my cynicism runs pretty deep. I'm not quite sure what to imagine for the future. Space, I like space. And robots. Smart nanomedicine... ... There are some things I like to imagine, I guess.

This is such an important, lucid point. One of the most important skills I have had to develop is to see through "reality control", which constitutes a much larger part of communication than we're comfortable talking about in

I was surprised to notice something similar last month, for the first time in memory.

Wait, how could exercise not lead to weight loss? Given that you eat the same amount of calories, exercising will lead to a lower overall calorie count, and building muscle will lead to a higher metabolic rate. Wut?

Great summary. I've definitely had experienced polar opposites that both involved visual hallucinations or delusions / shifts in belief. For example, I've experienced the belief that my life is a beautiful story where everyth
