Oh wow! I saw your project while looking for this project. It's unfortunate that this project has such a similar name to yours. It's still pretty early; maybe they'd be open to rebranding. Best of luck!

I really, really like this list. I've been wondering for the last year what the "optimal" problem is to learn at least the syntax of a language. After learning to run something, how to print to the console, I like using heaps

Imagine how upset you'd be if you ordered a kiln on Amazon, and you got two dozen bricks and a bucket in the mail. You might be tempted to say, "this is not a kiln".

I use DRAKON, or a loose form of it, when I draw diagrams. I like to use a square action icon saying "GOTO <title>", where title is a rounded title icon that names a process or procedure. It's not perfect.

I was approached through a recruiter for a job with a 100k-150k pay range, but I didn't get to interview because I had "too much experience" and they wanted someone with 2-5 years experience in the 120-130k range. I had exper

It's neat that the Egyptian measure was subdivided in an increasing fashion, almost logarithmically. I wonder what the error bound is if you use the Egyptian rule as a slide rule.

My dad, a sign painter, would always splay his hand out and measure things from his pinky to his thumb, which was about 10 inches.

Yeah, I was confused. This is basically just, "have well defined interfaces, and pass simple data through them", but with no concrete examples.

I've worked in oil and gas for years. The only reason we're fracking wells with 2000lbs of sand per foot on a 1-2mi horizontal well is because the easy oil in U.S. is all gone. If you could drill a vertical well and have oil gush

My understanding was that they were buying silks and spices from abroad with silver and gold at higher and higher prices, so that whatever silver and gold they were able to obtain, ultimately flowed out towards the East, causing inflation.

This was the high water mark of the Western Roman Empire, but at the time, a number of people were very concerned about the vast amount of wealth that was flowing out of the empire towards the east for luxury goods like silk and spices. Thi

This is fascinating, I had been wondering about wind chimes for a while now. This talks about sound attenuation at a distance, and limitations of human hearing at low frequencies, note selections, all very interesting.
