This is buried in a thread, so most people are going to miss it, but it's an excellent illustration of who Nithya Raman is.

She took on massive political risk to support an unpopular project by a developer who hated her, because she believed it was the right thing to do.

@alexia The tech’s just not that into us

Big congrats to my old friend @perryjon, @mossmouth, and the rest of the gang for finishing and releasing UFO 50 today, a monumental near decade long project to make a fictional video game system and a library of games for it. Highly recommend!!

[Derek Yu @mossmouth]

UFO 50 is OUT NOW on Steam! It's time to explore a collection of 50 brand new games. #UFO50

why is gift ever a verb? give exists, people

@eigenrobot Conflict is what’s needed for good storytelling, and while conflict and unhappiness often coincide, they’re not synonymous. Candide/Amelie/Forrest Gump are three examples of a story where the unflappable happiness of the main character drives a memorable plot. 2 are French hmmm

@HugoForCD13 @nithyavraman @EunissesH @BobBlumenfield @LADOTofficial They did this temporarily during Covid and it made my corner 1000x more ped friendly. Also it’s just software, ladot could do it tomorrow at approximately zero cost

[Ted Kupper @tedkupper]

@HugoForCD13 @nithyavraman @EunissesH @BobBlumenfield @LADOTofficial Nothing wrong with these ideas, but I think something cheaper and easier to implement that would be even more beneficial would be to make it so when a pedestrian hits the beg box, the signal change cycle starts immediately instead after the current car green is over

New year, new episode: https://t.co/yguc9plcox

Thanks @perryjon for a fantastic discussion, one that I’m super proud to bring the new year in with. Thanks to all listeners as well. Just thanks!

Stories have 6 primary arcs:

• “Rags to riches” (rise)
• “Tragedy” (fall)
• “Man in a hole” (fall-rise)
• “Icarus” (rise-fall)
• “Cinderella” (rise-fall-rise)
• “Oedipus” (fall-rise-fall)

Programmatic analysis validates Kurt Vonnegut's legendary rejected masters thesis.

Quick lesson in the dangers of data contamination. Years ago, I came up with an acronym for remembering the periods of the Paleozoic era — “Catastrophic Overthrow Started Different Colder Period”. I was curious if ChatGPT could guess what it stood for. 1/4

"why are you afraid" ask people who constantly try to scare you

If you're looking for something a little different in a movie, #corneroffice is very entertaining. Based on the book 'The Room'. Jon Hamm is great. Recommend.
