   I'd definitely love to see stats or sources for this!

   I'm really hoping they talk about the Starcraft 2 API they're working on. Looking forward to getting my hands on a tool less finicky than BWAPI.

   Are you leaving the proof to the reader as an exercise?

   Is there a word for that slightly scummy, uncomfortable feeling you're left with after reading a particularly empty piece of marketing drivel?

   False. The first lesson is "the spice must flow".

   Is "overthrow" your hyperbolic way of saying "using free speech to dissent"?

    A maybe overly-broad category, but the style of ceramic coffee mugs that have handles big enough to get all four fingers in. I don't realize how easy they are to hold until I'm using a mug that only allows one or two fingers in th

    Yup, completely agree about pro sports and business. Guess I should have clarified, I was just referring to casual or social type games among friends or peers.

    It's called good sportsmanship and (some) online games are the only place you can get away without practicing it. Anywhere else (board games, pick up sports games, etc) it's required regardless of whether you win or lose or you&#x

    I'd be interested to hear more about why you think two kids is "excessive".

    I tested the theory of "no one questions an orange cone" in college, securing myself a front row parking spot for a few weeks. Someone eventually took the cone and the spot, but I think the results would hold up to peer review :)

    It's not really the bending that chews up your fingers, it's the steel strings in general. I haven't played an electric in years, but play jazz and classical on a steel string acoustic several days a week. It doesn't hur

    I can't recommend this book and it's follow up enough! The description of a machine made of a single particle unfolding into higher dimensions is one of my favorite passages in recent sci-fi. I think the last book in the trilogy i

    Oh, I don't have any illusions about the physics being accurate! These type of books are very much an escape for me, so it doesn't bug me too much when authors take liberties with reality.

    I'll second this, along with its follow up book. I read it close to a year ago and the description of the particle unfolding into higher dimensions has still stuck with me.

    The Five Dysfunctions of a Team - Patrick Lencioni. It's a pretty fast read, I think the thing that stuck with me the most from it was the reassurance that (constructive) conflict on a team is not something to be avoided at all costs.

    Ticket to Ride Europe is a great beginner game that holds up well over time.
