Hace poco, en una obra recientemente premiada por su traducción, leí "save for a rainy day" traducido tal cual. Guardar para un día de lluvia.

Paul Erdős is the one that comes to my mind.
Do you know any literature on this topic? Specially for creative fields, which (on my opinion) call for long periods of tinkering, try-and-error, and solitude...

En menos de 24h, #MeQA, la IA de AEMPS @sanidad.gob.es q supuestamente contestaba preguntas sobre medicación de forma clara y fiable,deja de estar disponible y @monicagarciag.bsky.social retira el post de lanzamiento. Una simple consulta a un lingüista hubiera servido para evitar este despropósito.

Looks interesting!
By the cover, thou, I thought it was asymmetrical ;)

China fits well your narrative. Brazil, Indonesia and Japan fit a bit less. I'd say language plays a big part as well.

In 🇩🇰 , as usual, it is *complicated*:

1st May is school holiday on *some* municipalities, meaning that parents of little kids must take the day off from their holiday budget, meaning that even when it is not a national official holiday some regions run at half stem.

So this was written before LLM era. What a premonition.
Arguably, their point stands, but 100X worse.

Similar thing happens in small scale software. As a consumer I much dislike the concept:
A) Don't like being sold stuff that doesn't exist
B) If everyone does this, informed decisions become impossible (way too much noise)
C) Execution makes 50–90% of a good product (means 50–90% uncertainty)

I wish well to everyone in the world except those who buy domain names to resell them more expensive without making absolutely any contribution and nothing out of value

Depends on competence level, but until C1 ideal for me is around 40% reading + 30% listening + 15% writing + 5% speaking.
I use flashcards extensively as a means to do those things, not just to drill vocab.

This is 100% true for me when I create my own flashcards. I always remember the original source content even if I don't remember the answer
(which points to the evidence that creating flashcards is a means to learn on itself, not to just review them)

I have not tried them yet, but i am fascinated about games that explore language and meaning as the mechanical crux: DaDaDa, Gibberers, Rosetta, Signal, and a few others.

Time as communication is another interesting one (The Mind)

I see. Hexes sound too complex then. Does the board has a physical function? Can each player have a stack of discs representing points so that they need to earn them from lowest to highest value?
Among the boards, the octagons are easiest to read.

It is a shit show. Here is a good chronicle from @davidbonilla.bsky.social

Also, if the game has a theme, that might inform the decision too

What is the player count?
If quadrants correspond to player areas, perhaps an hex grid can do.
4 levels is 60 tiles (6+12+18+24) + central, and 60 happens to be divisible by 2,3,4,5 or 6 players, so you could color-code regions of tiles do differentiate between levels and player areas.

Toolchain is fantastic; but I hate syntax and error handling with all my being (at least before generics, haven't use it since...)

hmm I see, thanks

Why are board games counter cyclical?
Entertainment and holidays are normally the first thing families cut when money doesn't flow in.
Covid was exceptional because everyone was stuck at home, and in many parts of the world there weren't that many layoffs. Even then, biggest surge was digital games

We shouldn’t ask kids what they want to be when they grow up. It encourages them to define themselves in terms of work.

Who we become is not a question of career—it’s a matter of character.

The highest aspiration is to be a person of generosity, integrity, humility, curiosity, and wisdom.

Sorry to hear, Nick. I'll keep reading you here or elsewhere if you keep writing. Time to be stoic, best of luck to you!

you have a fantastic accent in all languages you speak!

I find Galaxy Trucker a fascinating example, in that "what happens" ranges from slightly good to catastrophically bad, and the catastrophically bad events are the most fun.

For some reason losing the things you previously gained doesn't feel too bad, and I don't know why it doesn't feel bad.

It sells very short what programming at scale is: millions of lines of code distributed across dozens of projects, hundreds of contributors each with their parcel of domain knowledge, requirements constantly changing on the go, people coming in and out of projects... can't get any messier than that

btw, seems that a coop version of Kelp could be thematic enough :)

Portuguese one is misspelled, and not very sure is the most common one.
But let me see if i get the colors straight:
- Pink: normal or solitary sex
- Black: transactional sex
- Blue: certain kind of organic matter
- Green: biblical place with lots of fire
- Netherlands: really???

Je, ya :)
Quiero decir que nunca he escuchado ningún neologismo que tenga que ver con moverse en bici, ni en inglés, español, ni danés (idioma local).

> we use the term velonomy (a neologism mixing ‘velo’ and ‘autonomy’) to describe the emergence of a parenting logic of enabling children’s autonomous mobility by bicycle

¿No se llama "enseñarles a ir en bici"? :)
Vivo en el extranjero y en mi familia nos movemos en bici, pero nunca escuché eso
