I really appreciate how writers at Quanta turn extremely complex and dry topics into a pleasurable read by mixing simple analogies with history. I really admire the skill it takes to break down these topics and make them fascinating for som

If people are not allowed to monetize their innovations, there is no incentive to innovate. While this needs to have its limits, sharing it to everyone immediately upon creation is not an answer.

Very sad news indeed. It does go to show that even the rich and powerful are not immune to the chaos in this world.

I've heard about how difficult Hungarian grammar is. The closest analog I can think of is Sanskrit which we had to study for a few years in school. They're still discovering more things about the language that were lost for thousa

Learning languages like these feels like the premise of Arrival(2016) where learning a new language expands the way you think about and solve problems. I'm trilingual like most Indian people but I suspect learning languages like Japane

So, I had this idea from a heartfelt meme that I saw online many years ago about someone who saved their XBOX because it had a save file from their dead brother. The save file was a replay of their last run around a particular track in the

I think AI is going to go the way of the hard sciences where the age of tinkerers making progress by leaps and bounds in their basement is over and incremental progress is going to be the domain of universities or large private companies th

I remember when I got my first real Android smartphone- 2012. Since then up to, let's say, 2017, I upgraded almost every year and was blown away with how each phone added real value to my life. In the earlier years, it was just the num

Even if the story is true, taking this attitude to the extremes is what leads companies like Amazon to time warehouse workers down to the last second and set increasingly aggressive targets every year. It is easy to deal with people when th

My master's degree is a 2 year period when I realised that regardless of the scale and complexity of a problem, if you have a systematic learning approach and resolve, you can overcome it.

If this has just a few more features, I'd legit use this as a notion replacement: 1. Tabbed file browser in a side pane 2. File tagging and favorites 3. Table sort and filter 4. Numbered and multilevel lists in text editor mode.

All Indian students below the age of 13 have heard of Mohenjo-Daro. I don't remember what year's textbooks it was in for us but the author assertion that it is a place that "most people have never heard of" has almost a

The game is a legend for the possibilities it offers for emergent gameplay. Probably one day we can have its code open sourced, like its creators once wanted to, and take a peek behind its complex systems.

Don't do tutorials or Udemy courses. You will learn with them but you need to understand the math behind things to really make something worthwhile. Read the Deep Learning Book. It will prepare you to really dive deep into the field.

Doom 3's design suffered due to its programming innovations. Since the game developers wanted to show off the real time lighting, they opted for a horror like design that showed off the tech. It kinda drove it away from the thing that

Given that affordances is defined as "the quality or property of an object that defines its possible uses or makes clear how it can or should be used," I think it refers to how modern UI designers obfuscate the entire power of a s

I agree, the title is a little self aggrandizing. As a game designer, I feel it disingenuous to claim it is a "new" kind of puzzle. The person just made a puzzle by adding rules to a set of constraints.

There is a slight disconnect in what you are saying you are and what you want for yourself. If you say you are not competitive, then why are you trying to uplift yourself or make a dent? Success is very relative. You either need to have eno

I went from making $3500 a month to making $500 a month. Barely scraping by. Also, I didn't exactly quit but was let go. I just didn't want to go back to a job. Making my own games and freelancing right now. I wouldn't recomm
