Sure, and if you find yourself getting stage fright, you can use something like Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies.

Sure, and that's a valid question that is probably an amazing line of inquiry. Is it cost, quality, patriotism, or some other factor? Maybe an Indian tractor is for a totally different farming style or terrain? Even me just naively un

I'm sure it's possible, but any time you ask a question that includes "just", you should double check that it really is as easy as you think.

That market is exclusively vintage vehicles. The new tractor market is dominated by large companies using DRM. The scale of these vehicles is probably greater than you think.

Iirc, Champaign-Urbana had a C fork bomb source code spray painted on an underpass wall. I suppose it relied on a passing victim to enter it into their own computer ;)

I was disappointed that the chosen games were ones that we don't have rules to play them. The Royal Game of Ur is an ancient game where we actually have the rules. It's easy to make a board for it, and it plays great. My recomme

Making Twine games is super fun and interesting. It has a mostly intuitive programming language.

I don't think you are using your imagination. Madlibs-style templating is one solution. Another would be using a context free grammar. Evolutionary equation generation.

Procedural generation of math problems is solved.

No, deriving metal from ore is not as easy as you make it out to be. Even the construction of a simple bloom furnace requires a fair amount of knowledge of the properties of fire. You can make a bloom furnace with your hands out of mud, so

Glasses and ID together. Car keys on top of work items like laptop and badge. White board next to front door with dates and reminders and mail to drop off. Arrange things like you would for a Sims character.

The sad reality is that cognitive decline over age is more likely than not. I have prebuilt a set of habits that I hope will serve me for when I need to rely on them to get me through the day.

The article posits that the "privileged position" should be the common position: that poverty and hunger can and should be eliminated, and then from a position where everyone is so privileged to not starve to death, good work that

Must the cuts be straight? If we allow curved cuts, it becomes possible despite your counterexample, doesn't it?

My phone is my alarm clock. Why would someone desire a single purpose device for "alarm clock"?

Additionally, some humans are far more skilled at aiming in a video game than you might think possible.

Autoaim cannot be solved absolutely by technical solutions. Even if the executable is fully electric fenced and verified matching a checksum, aimbots can just read the video buffer from a different process. In practice, you can statisticall

That is the entire Grover Norquist argument in a nutshell, and I call bullshit. Most people are not involved enough in legislature to have any meaningful input into whether taxes will rise or not, so they are eating the complexity cost with
