Thats true, I was one of them. Ingress was a great game, and it was also kind of useful when I was in some new city, I could look where the portals are, and in many cases those were the interesting places to visit. Anyway, I somehow couldnt

As I understand this, it shouldn't be primarily for close friends, but for other people. For example, some journalist wrote a very interesting article, so I sent him an email, he answered, maybe we exchanged one more email, and that wa

I don't use Roam, but a free alternative called Logseq, which works very similarly. I don't share OP's concern of ‘Where should I put this?’ - if I don't know, I put it into today's note, and link it with the rest o

Yes Tata Steel tournament was great, I just don't think we need variants like Fischer random chess. There is still lot to explore in classical chess. Anyway, how is the first variant you described called? (one starting with empty board

I must be missing something, but when I take the formula (0.143n)^n, for n=8 the result is 2.933, while it should be around 92?

I feel overall those are very reasonable rules. What I do differently: 1) Add context to errors - ok but sometimes the parent caller doesn't expect or wants that. 2) one-letter variables: I use them more, for example k,v for key,value
