   This is some weird stuff: 'You wake up in the middle of the night and find that you are still asleep.' This is a pretty cool project, even though it makes very little sense when you play. Is the idea that the game will get better

   I have aphantasia and I found out three years ago when I heard the research on radio, that others do see images in their mind. So far, it has been very problematic to explain to others what it is like to not see images in your mind, I guess

   Auth0 do the same thing though. They make library abstractions such as "passwordless" and make it a separate authentication flow altogether, where as in reality it is just a matter of generating temporary passwords. There is no ne

   I cannot disagree more. There is a general confusion that the job of a user interface is to simplify the system, where that is the last thing a user interface should do. What a user interface should do is to make it as simple as possible fo

   I saw them all a few years ago and I highly recommend them. Adam Curtis's movies are more like long essays than documentaries but all worth watching.

   This has actually never happened to me. I replay the games I played as a kid about every two years and they are always great. The game I reply the most are Kid Chameleon for Sega 16bit and Wonderboy in Dragon's trap for Sega 8-bit. I m

   There are many ways, of course, but I'll tell you what I do. If I am angry or upset in any way I first think about it. If I cannot understand the anger I let people know what I am feeling and that I might need to be alone or just need

   For me it is disrespectful to interrupt someone speaking, so that is why I find it "weird". But it is most probably a matter of preference. I don't think everyone should have discussions on my terms. In the context of intervi

   This is my experience as well. I am from Scandinavia and now living in Canada and I have only met a handful of individuals who do not interrupt others while speaking. Unlike you I tell them to shut up, which is the way it is where I come fr

    I see it more like keeping track of things. Of, course we might get into the territory you are referring to once you see that you have all this data and you start manipulating your and other's behaviour based on this data. However, the

    Isn't one of the premises of modern engineering that you work within a regulatory framework to ensure safety for the public? It seems to me that most software development is not engineering in this sense and I assume that we will get t

    I think that is only true on first glance. But if you look a little deeper, none of the photo->painting are really accurate. The painters had more than color scheme as information. Van Gough, for example, did not always use a correct per

    Yes, I agree. I also realised it wasn't really accurate of me of comparing an applied theory to the theoretical theory, as the author calls it.

    I found this interesting. "if a physical law can be as complicated as the experimental data that it explains, then there is always a law, and the notion of “law” becomes meaningless! Understanding is compression! A theory as complicate

    This is such a great tool for hobby world designers. I know for sure that I will use this when I create adventures. I made multiple tools for random world generation but never come close to this kind of quality. I'm impressed!

    In addition to this I think an inherent problem with occulus rift and similar technology is that as humans in the real world our vision is connected with our body. When we move our head, focus and so on we also use the rest of our body. A v

    I think you are referring to this type of law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_to_roam However, it is common in Sweden to respect unwritten laws and social conventions. Many neighbourhoods also have neighbourhoo
