Trees in pi let you do this, after done debugging you move back up and continue, leaving all the debugging context in its own branch

In my experience people can’t even tell how many balls you’re juggling after 3. 4, 5, 6, 7 all get “how many balls is that”, silly stuff like 3 ball factory blows more minds than 5 ball site swaps

Nonogram enjoyers might enjoy star battle, which I came across after having done lots of nonograms over the years(https://www.puzzle-star-battle.com/ or plenty of other places online). Though maybe it is a little too close to sudoku for some.

10x10 2star is the standard for me, I solved up to 6 stars but 10x10 is the sweet spot imo.

Voxelgram has gotten the most playtime out of me, the second dimension really makes it feel like whittling or something

I’ve recently been trying out the automations feature in the iOS shortcuts app to turn color filters off/on when opening/closing camera/photos/facetime so I can remove the triple click shortcut. It works well enough. Its disappointing but not surprising that in 2025 on an iPhone 15 pro this isn’t instant and takes a good half second for the color filters to turn off/on.

install the browser if you need it, uninstall it when youre done

As a layman the pathway seems to exist behind multiple massive materials science breakthroughs

Every time I’ve encountered this in Texas it is at the perimeter of the stores parking lot such that if you park in some of the furthest parking spaces your cart will be locked up when you try to return it to the corral.

I’ve always assumed it is to prevent literally stealing the carts themselves moreso than shoplifters trying to shoplift entire cartloads of stuff.

People win streak gold stake Balatro, A20H slay the spire, unfair slice and dice, and plenty of other games in this category. Nothing wrong with playing a game for 10 hours and being done with it but calling them rng fiestas just because you can’t beat the game on the hardest difficulty every time after 10 hours is a bit dismissive of the level of effort that is put in to getting these games as tightly tuned as they are.

Is there some kind of marketing campaign by MathAcademy targeting hn or is it just an amazing product? I’ve seen multiple similar blog posts via here from blogs with very few or no other articles published, as well as various commenters singing its praises. Including other submissions by the submitter. Is it just that good?

After all that reading, got any favorite books / authors you’d like to share? Curious to hear

Your advice to people in tech with Google and Meta on their CV who couldn’t snap up new jobs instantly was to go into the trades? Really?

I’m mind blown you were willing to come up with random stories for your own blood and decided reading out ai drivel to them would somehow produce a better experience for any party involved.

THCs effects on proprioception are interesting enough to be worth pursuing if you have any interests in the physical realm. Dancing, climbing, lifting weights, running. Clearly one should be careful and I wish weed was still good for me but it’s just anxiety city so I’ll leave it to the folks who haven’t ruined their brains to enjoy.

Wasn’t crime and punishment published periodically in a magazine or something like it? What does this have to do with the quality?

Not sure about total death rates but I think gambling addiction has the highest suicide rate of any of the big addictions out there. It seems truly ruinous. I suppose if any random person can blow their savings on out of the money options theyre unable to gauge the risk of then they might as well be allowed to do the same with crazy parlay bets but seeing the whole landscape of sports betting evolve over the last handful of years has still been quite eerie to me.

My gut these days tells me its probably better for the humans in society if this stuff is left only to black markets because it seems like it destroys lives.

Hope you managed to preserve these, I’d be keep to take a listen if they’re hosted online somewhere. I’ve been using renoise for 15 years on and off and while nowhere near 100s of tracks a month I fondly look back on the first year I used it similarly - that combination of youthful energy and tracker software is really something special. Renoise has come a long way and is a joy to use.

The crazy thing to me is that you’re confused about this. These companies make huge margin fooling consumers who aren’t paying attention. Nearly all the consumers I know are barely conscious, the first promoted link on Amazon is the one they buy. Losing customers like you who actually inspect the listed price is a pittance to the Amazon machine.

How much time have you spent in physical stores observing the physically listed price per volume labels? These things are all labeled specifically to fool people who are alive but not conscious. Again, we are just a rounding error to these monoliths

A nurse was unable to give my wife medication while in labor because the barcode on the bag of drugs wouldn’t scan. Fortunately we just had to wait another 20 minutes to get a new bag from the pharmacy but I can easily imagine a world where doctors are unable to perform procedures they are physically capable of doing because of liability surrounding not using the computer systems as intended. Epic particularly has really done a number on the healthcare system.

The gnorp apologue demonstrated there is a lot of interesting design space left in the genre. I’m excited to see what comes of games made by folks who were inspired by it.

Curious to hear more about your process here - did you start off with one of you homeschooling her and slowly just gave her more freedom as she got older? My oldest is not quite two and we're thinking about how we're going to approach this as we're older and your case sounds intriguing to me.

Got any resources you’d recommend for learning to use llms in the way you describe?

What else is in your readings recommended to your kids?

Practicing piano and fooling around in a DAW are completely different realms of music related activities. The pianists all know have given me the impression the activity is many more parts stress if the goal is practicing to be able to play a challenging piece, while working in a DAW can be more like splattering paint on a canvas when done like the parent comment describes

Are either of these things actually a problem? Regular people have probably always been misinformed about everything, does it matter at all?

Congratulations! I've had my eye on this game for a while this post + your story motivated me to buy it.

I'd be interested to hear what kinds of resources you found most helpful in getting something like this to a shipped state. I've never worked on a game before but having played factorio, DSP, and satisfactory I've had a lot of ideas / my own views on the genre. There's definitely room in the market still and I think you will be able to find success, especially as a two person shop. Congrats again.

I had the same takeaway from this movie as you did, thought indeed it has been a while since I've seen it as well. Seems quite unlikely that Everything is Awesome was simply meant as a catchy children's song.

I just have to say you shouldn't let your past experiences with grinding skill in old games destroy your ability to enjoy new ones. Slay the Spire is one of the best games to come out in the last three decades in my opinion. It's just that good.

A bit disorganized and apparently pastebin thinks there is something so offensive in here they won't let me share it but here you go, a collection aphorisms and various other adjacent things

I have my own collection of these and would also like to see a pastebin of yours!
