Yeah, it saves me time + effort, and lets me reach for larger changes than I otherwise would. It acts as a safety net / scaffolding as well as just answering Qs / writing code.

I see it as reaching for a point it doesn't quite get to. It's pointing out that comedians are focused on opposites (up / down, good / bad, big / little), and they play with the contrast between extremes. It echoes

This whole thing is pretty damn well-argued, paints a compelling picture. I see myself in it, but it could be in a horoscope / med student way. Humour is definitely a way to de-fang the world, and smooth over difficult situations. The

Enumerable as in "computationally enumerable", or "able to be enumerated in a reasonable amount of time x cpu x memory" The beginning and end of the game have less possibilities to consider. The midgame has the most poss

Algorithm 1 doesn't say shit! It says "pick the best move", or "pick all the moves". From start of game to 50 squares left is enumerable. From 36 moves left to end-of-game is apparently solvable. The middle is the c

This looks like a George W "Mission Accomplished" moment. - the game is obviously known to be a draw - but we don't have computational power to enumerate that - so test a bunch of game states - and confirm that none of them a

A post-scarcity society is kind of a present-day reality for people with enough $$$ in the bank (including Seth McFarlene). Maybe that's the attitude he's cultivated. He's certainly no stranger to labors of love - I just foun

That's exactly how it works. Invest thought into it before it happens, then when it becomes an issue, there's already awareness and possibilities have been mapped out.

Yeah, you can see in the interview that they are LOCKED IN to the core Mario concepts. Really get the sense that Mario is an institution, a career at Nintendo. Explains why the game feels subtly boring, at least from the trailers I watched.

What I remember from part 1 is that his tongue was cut out and chemo made him want to die. The series is a look inside the Type A personality. I see it as the intersection of addiction and unshakeable self-assurance.

It's remarkable how many opportunities for error there are in this process. Even sighted cooking isn't easy the first time. Has to be a good analogy for something.
