I cannot express to you how much fun this simple little game is! I'm really enjoying it! If I got to work on this game for 90 seconds, I would move the "bonus text" down to the bottom. It gets in the way of tviewing the liter

I've been looking for a game from the "flash era" that's incredibly similar to this one! It was "fling-this-wad-of-duct-tape-to-clog-the-black-hole" as a metaphor, but I forget the name. It had similar "or

I used MATLAB last year while I was re-learning it for work. It did okay, but we didn't have a license for the Image Processing Toolbox, which has a boatload of tools for the grid based problems.

Love this! UX nit: I love that I can 'lock' good ideas in and ask for a fresh batch, but I want a way to say 'I reject this idea and don't want to see it again.' I kept getting the same 'wrong flavor' ide

I actually just finished my second career pivot. I was in hardware, then in software, now I'm in government. I'd take careful stock of your support network behind you, and of who you're supporting. But keep in mind, there&#x2

1) I think it depends on how you define all parts of "escaping evil regimes". But it's a fair point. 2) I studied electrical engineering and I just hadn't run the numbers. The numbers I had seen in most of the other arti

A friend of mine escaped the Myanmar coup via bitcoin, so I don't think it's a purely zero-value enterprise. I agree, and there are many economists who also agree, that there is a strong odor of "tulips". But that's

Bandwidth is a real concern, yes. Also, the intent is both for the school and open to the public. But it's really not to build web dev skills, but literally to learn to read and write.

End user operations will be 100% Windows based and I won't be involved in the operation long term. Also, whoever is, probably won't know Linux at all, let alone at a sys admin level. But I like the idea of having one machine to ma

How do people build things like this? Is there a package that helps at all, or is it really just fighting with CSS for a few months to get it how you want it?

He probably knew COBOL at one point. He used to write in FoxPro for the longest time. He had an old CompuServe email before we got Juno. My first email was tagged on with his Juno account in the late 90s.

I like the "Rescue us from Access" angle. That has good promise. He's never written a line of JavaScript in his life, so I doubt he'll want to do App Scripts, but that's another good one. Thanks.
