A friend of mine started getting involved in the competitive Starcraft scene, and I noticed this tendency while watching him play. I think that any given player's APM is non-trivially influenced by the numerical "pissing contest" effect; e

This article reads like an annoying friend kept instant messaging me while I was away from my desk to narrate a petty internet social encounter as it was happening, then I come back with my Starbucks Frappathingie and furrow my brow because

My Dad went to a zendo regularly for quite some time, when I was much younger. As a child, the concept of sitting and only sitting was mysterious to me, so I asked him why he did it. He told me that he wasn't sure, so he asked the head te
