   I'm super interested in this. I have a few interactive articles I'd like to make, but I'm not sure what tech to use for it to make it relatively quickly and without taxing the page too much. Was thinking maybe the Phaser game

   I've had more of an urge to do some research on CS topics lately (beyond the usual you can find in textbooks), but as someone who was never in academia, and only got an undergraduate degree, I don't really know how to approach it

    Monogame is missing a lot of features if you're wanting anything but the basics in 3D (it's still very good for 2D games). I tried hard to use it instead of Unity (for over a year), and only recently switched to Unity because I wa

    The Fed can't easily raise rates all the way up to 8%. The higher rates affect the government just as much as you buying a new home or taking out a loan, and the government has a shitload of debt it has to keep refinancing. "But w

    Personally, I don't really have an issue with staying late (a little after 5:30 I need to start dinner so it can be ready by 6:30-7:00, I'm kind of a slow cook). My motivation to try this is more for shifting to hobby mode and bei

    Is it possible that the winners don't want to be disclosed? That happens sometimes with lottery tickets.

    Yes, there are people who rebalance when that happens. I'm not one of those people (I probably should be, but I'm not), but there are people who definitely do rebalance their portfolios whenever it gets out of whack.

    You do know the Fed has been raising rates all year, and have signaled they will keep doing it through the end of this year, right? Or are you suggesting on a long enough timeline it's just going to go right back to zero again? If so,
