I generally agree with you but signaling membership is far from the sole reason people like art - for example: the existence of hidden "guilty pleasures" indicates purely aesthetic enjoyment! I personally like fountain pens and ri

Sounds like a good plan - hooks for datastores or even data types along with event hooks would also be good, but not as key. Being able to place arbitrary notes on characters/items/objects would be good (For example - I'd lik

Wow, this is one of those elegant solutions that seems so obvious in retrospect - I tried developing a custom iPad app for DMing and found the huge amount of complexity of DMing really difficult to design around - a text interface is a real

Yeah, something has to give, I have the exact problem you have. Currently my weekday sleep suffers. There is no right way to do it, but you have to acknowledge the trade offs and make your decision knowing the impacts. So many people want t

“Make it sustainable” was the part it took me a long time to realize - in my 20s I’d pull all nighters to finish things. When I got older, started a family, and worked on projects that take months or years, I’d still approach it like a spri

Anyone with FAANG / corporate tech perspective - is "Contractors are generally not the strongest technically" an actual thing? Or is just something recruiters say to avoid saying the real reason for no? In the games industry

I would hate for this to be my legacy. Part of it's enduring quality is how we can all relate to being so retrospectively wrong like this (I know I can! A/B tests are a constant reminder). I think bringing it up now and then is a

Surely you would agree that brains are a product of the physical world, and thus are subject to mathematical laws (what we see as repeatable chemical and electrical deterministic actions). If you believe this capacity to imagine before acti

Of course Paul Krugman is a fan of the Dune and Foundation books! Very few shows or movies can pull off exploring how a system works, from top to bottom, to show how the world is shaped by rules, customs, etc. The Wire comes to mind as the

"white saviour" is just the pithy modern name for what the book was critical of. It wasn't just in general against saviours, the oppression and race aspects were def part of the book. I'm no activist but I was disappoint

My wife, who usually hates Sci-Fi, had the opposite reaction - I thought they did a great job keeping the feeling while streamlining things - disappointed by the lack of politics but think it was the right decision. It somehow felt like a r

I've long wondered about these "X does not exist" - are these generated on the fly or pregenerated and displayed from a list on the backend? If so, are they hand picked examples? Because the hit to miss ratio on this and othe

On the other hand, Buddhism has a rich tradition of interacting and fusing with local beliefs and creating totally new interpretaions, which then go on to fight with each other about who's right and who's got it backwards. I once

I just can't square the mechanistic view of the world with the idea that we have any agency. The compatibilists just seemed to define things in a way that it logically checks out. Certainly I FEEL like I have agency, and if I didn&#x

>> that doesn't mean they aren't real. This feels a little semantic. In buddhism this is partly due to sunyata being translated as "emptiness," which implies "not real" or "doesn't exist."

Scrum as a concept is great - at it's best it cuts through all the noise, gets the proper stake holders to communicate quickly and clearly, aligns everyone at the right levels, and of course allows for quick movements with large teams.

Well put, "Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent." is a call to cut through the crap of philosophy, rather than to end it. Whatever differences there may or may not have been, no one can deny they were both incredib

Yeah, what I meant was Godel was poking at the edges of the logical systems, eventually logically proving that we can't know everything about them, but even afterwards he was still into (simplifying it a bit here) logic-for-it's-o
