The media of our youth sticks. Sometimes when my mind wanders, I catch myself writing Darkwing Duck entrances. You know the one. "I am the terror that flaps in the night! I am the mold beneath the air conditioner you didn't bother to remove last fall! I am the bit of popcorn stuck in your teeth on your second date with Mary Richards in the seventh grade! I am the weird kid down the block who always picks his nose while petting your dog!"

Seattle politics: Support affordable housing

# orderedItems[].object.content
Are you a Seattleite who...
...thinks housing should be affordable?
...wants to tax the rich?

Then help us put I-137 on the ballot! Fund housing by taxing businesses that pay any individual employee more than $1M/yr.

Taxing the rich works. MA's 2022 Fair Share Amendment raised $1.5 billion in its first year for education and childcare.

Sign at Folklife this weekend, or other events through the end of May. Schedule here:

@MichaelKlamerus Oof, thank you for sharing this, I would have missed it.

This bit jumped out at me, even though it's not the heart of the problems described:

> “At a certain point our job became finding a way to couch feedback in a way that Zak would hear, more than it was coming up with the feedback,”

I've experienced this dynamic, and how easy it is to think of that as "my job" rather than a red flag. Carefully curating comms to leadership is such a common corporate dynamic.

@CarlMuckenhoupt @autumn Yeah... "Esther's" has about 2.8 million permutations for a five-minute game, and the general consensus was still that it's quite linear! Changing the order of events doesn't necessarily produce a sense of agency or variety.

@zarfeblong @glassbottommeg This. They've probably made enough to run at this rate for a decade or more; there's plenty of time to bring down costs.

@victorgijsbers This reminds me of dataflow programming, from a language called Oz. (Except a wouldn't be mutable.) http://mozart2.org/

#AdventOfCode Day 5 Part 2 (on Node 18): Went ahead and solved with the brute-force approach that took 10m to run; then wrote the smarter solution and it only took 0.05s (because it only tests 172 candidates, instead of, you know, billions.) Pleased that I was able to quickly adapt my code from one to the other, though.

I recently stumbled across (and enjoyed) Inkle's article on the "conversation distributor" pattern.

https://www. patreon.com/posts/overboard-in k-52524338

Without naming it, we used this pattern in Twine for "Esther's." It writes story-critical actions first if they're available, then lists regular exploration actions, and fills remaining space with "eat" actions (which are our hint system). Was lovely as an author, would recommend.

@dislekcia I built goodenoughgolfers.com on a 99% hack! Not only was the hack faster, it was useful and flexible in ways a "true" solver would not be: I can push additional constraints at it, and even give it "impossible" scenarios by the original problem definition, and it always comes up with a "good enough" solution.

What options does your hack open up?
