I misread the topic as "Hamburg Grids" and was expecting some kind of theoretical system for making large protests more efficient or effective or something. Which raises the question: what significant study has been done on the mo

My coworker is one of those guys who is an old man before his time. He loves scotch and working with tools. Sadly, he lives in a small apartment, so he doesn't have a real workspace. I've offered to let him come over for some tool

Buried in the article is that the binder is polyolefin, which basically just means plastic. So, this is plastic paper. Granted, the examples given were for semi durable items like menus and business cards, but i still see that as a net nega

Write it as a CYOA. Then, have it web hosted. Have your test readers go through it. Track their choices. Publish a book based on selecting only the highest trafficked choice for each node.

Yes, different hashing functions would naturally result in different page numbers.

The year that they switched from book count to page count, I burned through several of my multiple hundred page books in one summer.

One of my GrailQuest books had an error that prevented you from continuing. I carefully determined the correct page number and edited the book to fix the issue. I can only assume that dead-ends like these arise regularly during development,

No. I won't do any of that. Most games already have enough essential complexity that all of its components must be able to be interpreted at a glance. D20s and D10s make this easy and intuitive without requiring an algorithm or mathema

The implication in the article is that humans will be doing this on the fly. This solution does not fit with that criterion.

It should be far more expensive to lie to me, otherwise that will continue to be the logical choice.

One thing that helped me manage my addiction to Facebook was the realization that the number of notifications I get is nearly constant no matter how long the interval between using it is. That is, if I am frequently active, I am reacting t

Related to this, I've been considering how we can accurately report on incidences such as arsons or shootings without giving them a narratively appealing context. My naive approach was to replace "terrorist" with "some a

I see a similar phenomenon with meetings. Talking about what we must accomplish for long enough leaves us with the feeling that we have accomplished it.

This reminds me of the old practice of "rubbings". Take a sheet of paper and a crayon. Place the sheet on a nice surface like a bad-relief or a tombstone. Rub the other side with the crayon to copy the texture. Quite fun.

Yes, it is a simple regimen: At least a half hour before bed, turn down all lights and light-emitting objects. This means no computers or television. Do not do anything in your bed other than sleeping or sex. If you want to read until bedti

My recovery included a regimented sleeping, eating, and exercise plan that I introduced in stages. If you have to pick just one to start with, it is a toss up between going to sleep at the same time every night or going for a walk every day

Maybe the code isn't that good? If it were, it would be nice to have Fabien Sanglard take a crack at it.

The double blind tests rely on the fact that a small dose of extra sweetness is more palatable. However, a large dose is cloying. Also, they both taste like garbage. Drink coffee, instead.

It is no more a gimmick than the standard mode of rendering. However, it does have an adaptation cost. A comparable example: I went to the trouble of creating a custom key binding for my old laptop that was a standard US layout, except the
