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 yo…

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 ot…

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…

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 use…

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 1…

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 …

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 discu…

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.…

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 meaningles…

Derren Brown made an entertaining episode on this scam: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1173484/

Thanks! Didn't know about that one.

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…

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…

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 …
