Making it through the second half will be impressive.

Ideation: Because Planning Needs More Than a Mode | Nick Nisi Claude Code's plan mode is a great starting point for thinking before coding. But for complex work, I needed more than a mode. I needed a system. Here's what I built.

Cancer is all about the chance that cell turnover does a poor copy of its DNA. Running creates lots of cell turnover which increases the odds but it also creates an environment more likely to introduce mutations due to the massive stress it puts on the body and the related hormones it releases.

Or to present you with another perspective, it’s about how we bring our own life experience into lyrics and so, as someone married sixteen years and still into my wife, I assume a long time means sixteen years, and it could be surprising to find out the song refers to a six year relationship.

We need to make it illegal for AI models to offer advertising. And, we need to really examine referral fees as well.

The last thing we need is to have algorithms designed to maximize revenue driving LLM output and interactions.

We need to have learned our lessons from algos in social media

Trophy for “Official Joke Fact Checker”

Hmm, I had tried it but maybe it didn’t have the misspeaking stuff at the time.

I would also like to try this app. I’ve given up on them.

Mastra!

Every businessy guy I have ever met who finds out about Crash Course tells me that we're not just decreasing our revenue by not building a paywalled business, we're also decreasing our impact. This is wrong...and this video shows why.

I think most of them boil down to “So your parents treated you a certain way and you have accidentally internalized a way of interacting with your child you don’t actually want and are having a hard time breaking free of.”

I hate fraud so much. I was lucky to be raised by a deeply ethical dad who worked in the real estate industry in Florida and so was constantly bringing home stories of the worst kinds of guys getting rich in ways that they felt were "illegal but fine" but were actually the worst kinds of theft.

To improve the speed of my app, I will be randomly deleting 10% of my codebase and its included libraries, focused on areas I am least familiar with.

Is it easier to load a lifted pickup truck?

It’s about incredibly intelligent people who have to pay for it with poor social skills. CBS has a large segment of programming that let you know how much it sucks to be a genius.

ECMAScript excitement 😉

Congrats to @jordan.har.band on advancing the proposal for RegExp.escape to Stage 4 today at TC39 🎉

It lets you escape arbitrary strings so they can be used in Regular Expressions.

RegExp.escape("(*.*)"); // "\(\*\.\*\)"

An NFT bundles state and logic. It’s basically a running app you can send around freely. And what the developer decides to do with the logic can update state, including allowing multiple NFTs to interact.

Any good?

We gotta reject “Well, RFK jr. is right about some things” and accept “if we don’t confront the real problems with our systems, it becomes much easier for con artists like this guy to manipulate people.”

The difference between $1 Million and $1 Billion is about $1Billion

There is a lot that we could and should do to increase housing affordability, but the basic reality is that a nice suburban 1950s family house would be *tiny* by contemporary American standards which is why they were affordable on lower incomes.

I’ve always felt that the thoughts about tabletop idea development could be applicable to any creative endeavor that requires feedback.

Three red circles of different sizes. The smallest circle is inside the medium-sized circle. The medium-sized circle is inside the biggest circle. In the smallest red circle are a few notes: "Intimate idea testing (with designers and players that you trust)." A box with an arrow points at the smallest circle. In the box, the text says: "I feel vulnerable as a designer. Ideas are fragile and the wrong environment would kill an idea. Graphics is rudimentary and rough. Both rules and graphics will be altered during the playthroughs" In the medium-sized circle there are other notes: "Design test (with players that like playtesting and other designers)" A box with an arrow points at the medium-sized circle. In the box, the text says: "I feel pretty confident as a designer. Ideas are quite mature and I know what main mechanism I want to use. Graphics is in a constant flux of change and is being changed as input is given during playthroughs" In the biggest circle there are other notes: "Public playtesting (with strangers and players)" A box with an arrow points at the medium-sized circle. In the box, the text says: "I feel confident as a designer. I know what kind of game I am building and that the game probably can be made to work. Graphics is tested and worked through."

I've been thinking a bit about playtesting in board game design🎲✂️.

I tend to see playtests as three-layered, where each layer serves a certain purpose for me; the intimate idea testing, the design test, and the public test.
