I hadn't appreciated how much good speaking skills (e.g., not constantly interrupting yourself, gathering your thoughts before speaking), good editing, and production make a difference in the podcasts I like listening to until I heard a couple podcasts that lack those things. It's so painful because there's a solid core in the ones that are lacking, they just need some competent audio production help.

@alexwinter Thanks for sharing. I watched the panel as well (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lk3wt1zjRk)
I like the point about the value of specificity. A way I think of it is that you're showing the consequences of the philosophy that underlies the actions of the people on these platforms and the companies that create and maintain them.
I got this puzzle from my neighbor. It was really easy to solve. Each of the smaller cubes is connected to the next one by an elastic string--kind of like a hair tie--on two sides except for the ends which are only attached on one side. The goal is to arrange the smaller cubes into the larger cube shape.
It's easy because you can proceed with a more-or-less greedy algorithm to get the solution. What I want to do though is to figure out how to represent the problem generically (4x4x4, different target configurations, different initial configurations, different component shapes, etc.), describe the state spaces for different configurations, and describe a generic algorithm for reaching the target configurations, and things like that.
@trinsec OK. I think those aren't reasons I would read something, so I don't really understand, but thanks for explaining
@trinsec what do you like about it besides it being easy to read?
@ashwinvis that's pretty dang clever. wouldn't have thought FFT would come into the picture
I was last week old when I learned that clams have two siphons (incurrent and excurrent), and have very active cilia at the ends of those siphons… the bucket contains littleneck, Manila, butter, and geoduck clams (the geoducks were placed back). The macro photos are of the butter clam siphons during the purging stage, pre-chowder. #clams #clamming #beachcombing #bc
Hey! If of interest, here's my keynote for the opening of this year's KDocs Film Festival in Vancouver with our documentary The YouTubeEffect which is coming out wide soon!

it's not high volume, and I'm not much of a gamer, but as someone who struggled thru getting WINE to play games before Proton got started, and when intentionally supporting Linux from the start was a real *statement*, it's cool to see how much the space has changed
