We recently moved from the South of France to San Francisco, leaving a lot of friends (and paradise) behind.

It is intentional. That was something that impressed me about it -- exactly how intentional everything is. Also, she has a digital art board but scanned drawings on paper because she wanted a rougher, more sketchy look to it.

You need to eventually get through the locked door. The first object is nails, then you need to use the bucket which is in a cabinet in the bathroom and click on the painting. She made it really tough, for some reason.

from Sophie: Check on the painting in the hallway. :)

Thanks. I'll let her know!

When you get to the TV color photo thing in the locked room, you can't click on the Exit button. (It just flips to the "That's too bad" graphic). That was a bug at first but she liked it and kept it. Not necessarily a

Clearly, if you water a plant it grows into a pumpkin, which is a jack o'lantern, which then turns into ... a record

Yes, I agree, it's a dark game. Luckily, my mother is a psychologist and helped clarify to me what it's all about for my daughter, and why I shouldn't be concerned. Also her art style is already changing again and the next g

Thank you so much. That means a lot to her. She says the items were intentionally made not to look clickable to make the game more challenging.

Click on the drain to go to the dining room. Then look for nails...

Everyone: thank you for trying it. She's on Cloud Nine right now!

She only got help coding -- that's all her art. She's been working on it a while.

Check the hints. (Bella is knitting..)

by david927 9y ago
Thanks. I helped her with the coding -- she's still learning Javascript -- but that was the only help she got. She really worked hard on it for about a year.

From her: Agreed -- I made it a little too hard but did you see the button at the beginning that shows how to get hints? (Also, you can get out of the first room through the drain.) Thanks for the feedback!

> appeal to authority. Would I really read this if it was written by a 20 year old without a track record? First, that's not what appeal to authority means. It doesn't mean, "Don't be interested in what Einstein th

That's a bizarre conclusion to reach. Another conclusion is if that you have a long enough runway, you get more at-bats, which leads to a higher probability of a hit.

There are two ways to exercise: to create muscle which also increases metabolism so that you keep off the weight, try strength exercises and do cardio at a high heart rate (say 160bpm). To lose weight, surprisingly, lower the cardio heart

The only chance of this paradigm existing is as a long shot project I couldn't agree more but I also am not as pessimistic as he is at its chances of happening.

The "Language Gap" slide seems massively overstated, or maybe I'm misunderstanding. The language gap is relative to where he thinks we should be aiming for, what the author thinks is possible. If you think that we're

This is a brilliant synopsis of the state of the art -- truly fantastic -- and yet the presentation concludes with, "The innovation won't happen because I can't see where it will come from," and that's not entirel

Catalan has always been its own country -- it just hasn't had the chance to have autonomy until now.

Sure: There is no... reason why a country that in every way (culture, language, its own flag, etc) is its own country outside of the fact that it has been ruled over by other countries shouldn't be allowed autonomy if the people will

This talk is not saying that these problems were "solved" decades ago but rather, decades ago we had much better instincts and in many ways we were on the right track, and now we're not.

You're right, it is crazy. A few people, here and there, are trying -- but precious few. There's a regular meetup group in San Francisco: https://www.meetup.com/Future-of-Programming

That was me. I said, "Homelessness induced by mental health challenges" was solved in every other OECD country -- and it's true. In those countries there are programs to make sure people with significant mental health issue
