Another reference to Zettelkasten! I've only recently become aware of it, though it's pretty clear to see how that concept and the bibliography concerns here complement each other. Anyone have any experience combining the Z method with good reference management for the long-term?

If anything, the excerpt that the tweet shares from the blog post ("Pay No Attention to That Man Behind the Curtain") underplays how aggressive the post is. Alone, the tweet's image looks at first like a footnote disclosing funding sources, but the full context does indeed seem like systematic criticism of the briefs and everyone around them.

It would probably be in bad taste to theme it so...on the nose, but I'd believe that it's a good time to be releasing a fresh game right now. It's certainly a terrible time for games in development, with work collaboration maybe disrupted and with all the big publicity events getting cancelled, and it's a bad time for other media that bank a lot on physical releases (e.g. theatrical releases for movies getting pushed back), but the at-home media out now could find an audience with more time than they otherwise might have.

Is there empirical research that corroborates the claim that a particular theme, mathematically symmetric or not, reliably improves productivity? Or are those claims directed more at the accompanying book and less about the theme itself?

The website says it's having technical difficulties. In hindsight this is probably true in the literal sense, but because of the inherent cruelty of puns, I've been puzzling over it for a few minutes trying to figure out if it's just an elaborate pun I don't get yet.

What are the chances I'll end up maintaining intense, unwavering eye contact with someone doing something lewd in half of their screen?

The article mentions a few times the subject's recommendation to get away from caffeine and alcohol. For people with a bit more background on what he's talking about, is he recommending a blanket ban on the substances altogether or just to stop using them as a crutch for waking up or falling asleep?

I'm hardly familiar with all the trouble this movie went through to get made, I'm really, really happy with the main actors that finally got to see it through. Jonathan Pryce and Adam Driver have such great interactions in the small scenes of this movie, and those really made it for me despite the legitimate problems this article brings up.
