I agree with many of the others, but I'd also like to mention Horizon Zero Dawn, Ghost of Tsushima, etc. HZD was one of the best single player games I've played in a long time -- satisfying gameplay loop, and a story that was eng

I especially like Github's new option to make a _suggested diff_ of what you want changed. Typo fixes, comments re-worded, etc. It really reduces friction, both as the person making the suggestion, and as the person who authored the PR

I'd love a setting that would silence directions when I am within $distance of home, and have home set as my destination. I don't really need to be told to turn on my own street, or the streets I always use to get to my street.

Consider having separate top-sheets + blankets, perhaps with an over-layer blanket over all of it. Then, your partner's tossing and turning will jostle the bed, but won't pull on your cocoon of blankets (and vice versa).

I wish I could write or speak another language anywhere close to as well as you do English. You're right! I certainly don't think of the words "exempli gratia" -- I literally think the letters "e g" as a mental

At the risk of falling for a joke, I'm not sure "critical thinking" means what you think it means. It just means thinking objectively about things before making judgments, it has nothing to do with criticizing people. The th

I can see how it might get old hearing that a lot, but when I look at the suite of tech screen questions we have here, several of them are basic under the hood (tree-building and traversal, string manipulation, etc). However, they all do ha

I wouldn't want to pay Real Money for it, but somehow it doesn't seem the same to say "I'll spend some finite amount of computation time/energy to make this comment". That seems like a much lower hurdle. At th

That looks amazing, thank you! I wouldn't want it in my production code but it seems like it would be great for something that I'm working on in the REPL.
