Not sure how seriously to treat that question, but... It seems like a cheap answer, but it needs more people, with more perspectives, trying out various answers to this question. I suspect the greatest long-term leverage comes from providin

This is maybe the most Alan-Kay-like response so far. Short, simple, but a tiny bit like a message from an alternate dimension. "No, no, I'm not asking you to build the also-wrong solution someone else has tried. I'm saying:

As a community, we often think on quite short time-scales ("What can we build right now, for users right now, to make money asap?"). I feel like you've always been good at stepping back, and taking a longer view. So what shou

Yes, yes -- start with The Royal Road. It's a fantastic place to start. Graduate to Card College if you can afford it; otherwise, Paul le Paul, and then dive in deep with Buckley's Card Control. If you're still hungry after

This is a really cool idea! I wish that they had spent a little more time examining non-turbulent images; really, once the analysis software is written, I'd expect to see all of van Gogh's work piped through it, and a handful of o

I think the corpus of latin/english translations is not large enough, because the translation of even the basest schoolboy latin seems mangled; different declensions of the same word get different translations. 'Ancilla' [fem

When I write a sentence, I use five stone questions1. Does it say what you mean? Can it be clearer? Can it more closely match overall tone? Can it be made more novel? Can it be made more beautiful (prosody)? The five prioriti

I hitched for nine months in New Zealand, and loved every minute of it. Never felt uncomfortable, had a lot of fantastic conversations. Full disclosure, a woman was raped and murdered while hitchhiking, only a few km from a town I was stayi
