He should post the ultimate "prove you are a psychic" challenge. People claiming to be "psychic" or such power, can get 100 million$ if they are right at finding the drive.

Here's the catch me if you can sequel hollywood been waiting for. I would certainly watch this.

Edit: Forgot about American Kingpin. That's a more worthy successor.

Was an engaging and overall excellent game. Big fan of Nicky Case and their work.

I believe, simple tools and explorables such as these can help understand human psyche much more than a volumes of monograph exploring human conditions. I think these game-based explorables will be big in the future for explaining deep and difficult concepts.

This is one of the coolest things I have seen in a long time. Reminds of how Meteor first started off with it's cool Pub/sub features. Watched the entire walkthrough, Kudos to you. Having worked in cache invalidation field, I know for sure that it's a hard problem.

The pricing is pretty cool. Free for non-commercial and <200k projects. I know what I will be hacking on tonight.

Kudos to the team

Apologies for my incredible disbelief, but you cannot just leave someone hanging by saying this and not expanding further.

Details please.

Bukowski was an eccentric guy and often he used to contradict himself. This poem seems to encompass his life philosophy and which also happens to be written on his tombstone in just two words: "Don't try"

However, in his another poem, Roll the Dice, he presents something entirely different outlook on the subject of trying. And this is a poem I really admire.

  ROLL THE DICE

  -------------

  If you’re going to try, go all the way.

  Otherwise, don’t even start.

  If you’re going to try, go all the way.

  This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives, jobs and maybe even your mind.

  It could mean not eating for three or four days.

  It could mean freezing on a park bench.

  It could mean jail.

  It could mean derision, mockery, isolation.

  Isolation is the gift.

  All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it.

  And, you’ll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds.

  And it will be better than anything else you can imagine.

  If you’re going to try, go all the way.

  There is no other feeling like that.

  You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire.

  DO IT. DO IT. DO IT. All the way

  You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It’s the only good fight there is.

I am the creator of a conversational learning platform called Primerlabs (https://primerlabs.io)

I wrote a free course on fundamentals of computing and Python that can get you up to speed on Python. Can you ask them to check it out of it works for them?

Will be happy to help out.

This seems to be a case of bad journalism.

Total prize awarded is 8.7M not individual award

I used to take a large number of black coffee throughout the day. Otherwise just feel tired even though I am fully rested.

Recently started experimenting with nootropics as a replacement for coffee. Started L-theanine + caffeine capsules. Surprisingly, feel attentive throughout the day and better sleep at night too. Workout is better as well. Don’t know how long these effects will last. But for now, I have quit coffee for good.

This essay, which has helped fixing my initial mindset a lot, is directed for complete beginners.

The website OP mentions is for someone who already knows how to program well in one or more language and want to take a quick look at another language syntax.
