The irony is not lost I hope.

I once saw a rendering of parts of the underground showing the stations and the tracks in 3D (hand-drawn but in scale), what stood out to me is how much of the entire system is composed of stations and how little for the actual tubes connecting those areas, certainly in the busier areas. I was hoping to see the stations rendered as well as I never could find those images back. This looks very nice in any case, reminds me of marinetraffic.

This is such a shame, we should be looking to source and produce things globally and find better ways to improve the logistics and efficiency world-wide. Why would the EU take such a protective stance which only enforces isolation and increases cost?

Edit: Thanks for the responses, I am still looking for a signal that tells my post is sarcasm multiplied by cynicism.

Falling down the rabbit hole I stumbled on this link: https://gamedev.city/

"I miss when people would just post gamedev resources on the internet without thinking about algorithms or engagement. In order to try to mitigate that, I decided to host my own link aggregator website!" - Pedro Medeiros

This post has been an excellent waste of time and a great source of inspiration. Thanks.

"Your bottleneck is time management, and not motivation."

If indeed motivation, forgetfulness, procastrination and rapidly changing priorities were not a thing this would be great advice for me. Unfortunately for my distracted self this would be unmaintainable in any time span.

I can live by a mix of todo-lists (some with a deadline, most prioritised and all categorised), a red line in my agenda telling me when all the weekly/daily scheduled events are and bright coloured, triple alarmed random events breaking up the pattern. My goof off hours are after getting something done and before the next notification blaring from my phone.

My high school physics class flashes back to me, I don't think I understand a fraction of it but it seems very exciting (pun intended).

I was reading up on this (now outdated) wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_thorium#Thorium-22...

And it mentions the application as qubit for quantum computers. If the state change is relatively simple, cheap and stable, what could this do for quantum computing? I picture a crystalline processor holding Thorium nuclei as the brains of a new supercomputer? Would that be viable?

"Massive galaxies that stopped forming stars (known as massive quiescent galaxies) are plausible progenitors of giant elliptical galaxies."

Could someone explain a bit more what this means? Is it that those galaxies were "born" out of the quiet galaxies, or shaped into ellipses because of them?

If you reverse all the do's and don't in this manual it reads like a pretty good manual to go about your daily business and household maintenance.

I am torn, my kid loves playing on the computer (any screen) more than he does his doing chores, and combining these would be great, but the gamification of my parental responsibility does not sit well. I really appreciate your work and effort but chore > reward is not my goal or method.

What if the game itself has more depth (learning for example) while remaining as engaging? Simple dopamine triggers they have enough.

We run a sizeable webshop that can fall back entirely on non-js for whatever reasons with plain forms and HTML. Not based in Oslo though.
