I second this! Clicker games are a great introduction to game design! If you are trying to teach a kid how to build games, go on Scratch ( https://scratch.mit.edu ) and it should take you about 10 minutes to build the most basic

If you think it would be confusing to have a nu variant, just wait until there's a variant that's newer than nu: "Hey, are you worried about the nu variant?" "No, I'm worried about the new variant." "

Part of the vilification of copying has to do with some existing injustices baked into modern capitalism. We're told that if you're a little guy, you can beat the Goliaths through innovation and outmaneuvering. But if BigCo can

I'm one of your technical brethren, and non-technical people aren't the only ones who think 2FA is a pain. Don't get me wrong, the security benefits are worth it. But having to pull out my phone multiple times a day to enter

Specialization can accelerate your career during the first decade (or maybe first two decades) of working. But I've found that people who are generalists end up doing better further into their careers, particularly if their job include

So why 10x rather than 5x or 20x? Did somebody in the room say, "We've crunched the numbers, and our best estimation is that if we orient all our resources toward achieving this goal and put forth our best possible effort, we&#x27

One of my issues with OKRs is the oft-repeated line that the goals should be so audacious that you should only expect to achieve about 70% of them. If you're following this advice, you are either purposefully choosing goals that you do

This seems feasible. Or maybe it's not happiness itself but just having other things you value highly enough that you make it a priority to give them uninterrupted time: family, friendships, hobbies, etc. Perhaps it's a space-fill

To understand the state of Wolfram Alpha, you have to understand the guy behind it. Wolfram Alpha was a pet project of Stephen Wolfram, the creator of Mathematica. He had grand visions for it. And for the first few years, it seemed like h

I'm an author who supports CDL, and I couldn't agree more. What surprised me the most was how many people strongly defended the IA's actions. In their heads, the IA could do no wrong. Or they failed to grasp the illogic of &q
