My 14 year old son was frustrated with "Fun" math games as they were not really fun. So he started building his own games in p5.js and recently he launched these games at https://thegamebox.ca/ He has been making these games since he was 10yo, so there is a progression in quality. Last game he made is not a math game but a puzzle game (Red Remover) he used to play and love when he was very young and was no longer available. He has done all the graphics as well for these games.

This is a blog post by my 10 year old son. I don't understand why many Americans can't see what my 10 year old boy can see. :(

Lego Calendar 12 years ago

few years ago, I started a site which had "lego" in its name. Even though it was actually promoting Lego and not at all commercial ( no Ads no fees ). I got a cease and desist letter from Lego Group, and they demanded that I hand over the domain to them. I didn't want the trouble for a site which was not even making money for me, so I just transferred the domain to them.

You will soon get a cease and desist letter from Lawyers of Lego for using their trademark. I am telling from my experience.

Let me know if you need help with any development or architecture design ( I prefer RoR but can help with any other platform also )

HMO: I would like to build good contacts with like minded people.

"It doesn’t matter how brilliant you started out or how much faster you exited the gates than everyone else, those who consistently get up every morning and direct their energies along a single path, no matter how boring it may be, will eventually pass you on each of the many roads you haphazardly travel."

So what if they will pass ? I prefer to be left behind and do something I like. Life is not about getting ahead of others, some take joy in getting ahead of others, while some enjoy being left behind but doing their thing.

Yes, but now you can do it without having a copy of Photoshop.

I have one gifted son and another brilliant son, and I really understand what you mean. I can see these differences quite clearly in my sons. Giftedness is not same as having very high IQ, it has its own characteristics which are often overshadowed by the high IQ.

Deadline actually translates to total effort put in a task, which translates to total cost of the task, and Managers really need to know this to control the budget. whether to develop a feature is based on cost vs benefit analysis, so if as a Manager I can't rely at all on the cost estimates then how can you be sure you are building the right thing in first place.

Most of the time its not the idea which is very unique or world changing, it the execution of the idea which makes it a success. so yes I have drawer full of ideas, and I see them being executed by other in nice ways and becoming successful, but If I would try to do the same idea, I am sure I won't be successful.

With 25 years of experience in computer industry, you should be explaining us all how we can estimate the time when a DDoS attack is being done:).

Anyways we are talking here about complexity of the algorithm, and not its actual speed or performance which will depend on a lot of factors. But complexity tells for example how many steps it will take for the algorithm to solve the problem. The algorithm can be used by Humans or super computers, so performance can vary from days to microseconds, but complexity will remain same.

I will prefer to be "not so rich" in a country where majority is "not so rich" rather than be "super rich" in a country where majority is "super poor".

how can you not use debugger and program/find defects. I mean for sure you can do print and alert, but that is highly inefficient way of debugging.

Its usually done to trick the top grossing apps rankings. Developer will raise the price to $1k then buy himself some copies using different fake accounts, thus raising the ranking. Once ranking is achieved, they will reduce the price in hope to get more sales.
