I played Loom quite young (not sure I made it very far into the game) and haven't revisited it yet. It occupies this mystical otherworldly place in my mind. Monkey Island 2 was a personal favorite that I did replay somewhat recently. T

I agree with you, and I cringed a little when I read the following from the OP: > There are some fundamental reasons why conversational 3rd party platforms are hard. In my mind the big fundamental problem here is the "3rd party&quot

According to Wikipedia, John died in 1862 and Harrison was born in 1928. So he never met his grandfather. It makes me wonder - who is the oldest "directly-known" person? Maybe there's a better term for this. What I mean is, o

A lot of people here will say "it gets better", and it does, but be sure to take your health seriously and not let yourself normalize that feeling for the long-term. Mine are 7 and 4 now and we're well past the sleep-deprive

My suspicion is that this is (a) advice from people like us who got out of the dating pool before online dating came to dominate and don't have firsthand experience of how much things have changed in a short time period, and (b) wishfu

I seems especially puzzling that "met in a bar or restaurant" is the only other (non-online) response that trends upward post-2000. Why would that be the case? It almost makes me wonder whether "we met in a bar" is a com

Wow! This is the internet find of the week for me. How long until this appears as its own post on the HN front page? Thanks for mirroring.

I can't tell if this is sarcastic or not. Surely we should encourage young scientists to "dream big", as long as we also teach them to actually "do science" effectively right? Maybe it's the vagueness of what &

In the old Cubli videos they go further, chaining together "jumping up", balancing, and controlled falling to demonstrate locomotion! https://youtu.be/n_6p-1J551Y?si=zvwORnuPZmgXw0S8

However, you could get ~1G by going to ~1.4 RMP or increasing the radius to ~900m (or finding some sweet spot in between), which doesn't seem like it would greatly impact the "vibe" he's trying to create.
