I'm not only talking about complex games. Even something like Azul, which takes 5-8 minutes to teach and 45 minutes to play is met with reluctance from non-initiated people. I don't expect any non-gamer to sit through a 40-minute

One thing that I've learned over the years playing modern board games is that the vast majority of the population is too intellectually lazy to bother learning new games. They'd rather keep playing their (outdated) classics that t

It took me years of cooking every day to get to a level where I'm confident in my cooking skills. It's a lot of trial and error. Look up a recipe that looks good, and try to follow it exactly . There's no eyeballing when you

That's what I understood based on the gun example. However the same would hold true for any deadly disease you develop, wouldn't it?

It's a known fact that a car's value always depreciates. You can't expect a car to be worth the repair you put on it.

Depends on your definition of comfort. I sure would be comfortable for life with such an amount of money, even if I would be left with "only" 2M.

I'm happy for you. I tried remote work for 2 years and now I'm happily going back to working in an office next Monday. Can't bear the loneliness anymore. I don't have much of a social life to begin with, so I really need

That's exactly what the pack of cards is designed to solve. With the cards it's guaranteed that the 6-7-8 will show up more often than everything else.

Functional programming languages are better at it, simply because there are constraints in place preventing you from having mutable state everywhere.

That's the most common objection, and it's the one that makes the least sense. If we were to count the number of parenthesis + square brackets + curly braces, we would fine that there is not more symbols in a LISP, just that they

If you're going to borrow every idea from ClojureScript and Om, why not simply switch to these technologies instead of relying on so many libraries?

What's paying 7$/month to keep your app alive 24/7? The cheapest Digital Ocean instance is 5$/month but then you don't have all the goodies like plugins and auto-deploys. I'd be more than happy to pay Heroku if
