The most equivalent milestone to MVP in games is first playable (FP) or prototype. This is done at first pass/L1/greybox quality. Vertical slice (VS) is a type of beautiful corner — this is done at production quality. The purpose

Same as cigarettes, much of doomscrolling is just to calm down the anxiety of not doomscrolling. Anxiety that didn’t exist in our lives before social media and one caused directly by its consumption.

There are two groups of people: blamers and doers. For example, people will often blame local government for issues such as not disposing of fly tipping garbage quick enough, but they will not do much to clean up the pavements with sofas or

Show horses and workhorses – Hillary Clinton was all about that and say what you like about her, this distinction is quite wise. There is also the latin saying "res, non verba" – that one is proven by action rather than words.

In smaller communities, people care more. There is a reputation social cost associated with being a self-centered asshole when everyone knows each other. If one doesn't care about others, they'll soon find themselves excluded from

Yeah, not doing one's job well because they don't know how to (and won't bother to figure out) is an example of not caring, fundamentally.

The TV series “All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace” talks about how scientists tried to simulate balance in nature with control theory and found that there isn’t much balance at all. The premise that there is balance, despite being

Indeed, there are options. But rpi 3 was launched for €32/$35. I hope rpi 6 is not launched starting at €120/$120+, that’s all I’m saying. It would make it inaccessible for hobby projects that need more than one and to most kids t

The value is in clinical application though. For closed loop systems, making a clinical decision for insulin dosing every 5 minutes is life-changing, even if the dosage is 10% off. I’d say even with compression lows, most systems are self-b
