  • I’ve been really enjoying it, even in its limited state. Jetpacks are a total game changer, and I love that the fuel lasts a long time. There’s still a few obvious QoL additions needed, especially with stuff like the cargo ships (gotta type the name in?!), but otherwise it’s got a really strong foundation. Also, elevators are amazing; just realized last night that one cam connect wire to the cab. Really excited to see how the game develops in the future (traaaaaains).


  • For the purposes of OPs problem (P v NP), it considers not particular solutions, but general algorithmic approaches. Thus, we consider things as either Hard (exponential time, by size of input), or Easy (only polynomial time, by size of input).

    A number of important problems fall into this general class of Hard problems: Sudoku, Traveling Salesman, Bin Packing, etc. These all have initial setups where solving them takes exponential time.

    On the other hand, as an example of an easy problem, consider sorting a list of numbers. It’s really easy to determine if a lost is sorted, and it’s always relatively fast/easy to sort the list, no matter what setup it had initially.




  • While the orb weavers and Argiope spiders are certainly a shock, it’s really the Brown Huntsman spiders (American version of the classic Clock Spider) that can instill that fight or flight response when they run at’chya. I love spiders to death and always enjoy saving them from my house, but the first time I saw one of those guys in my apartment, my legs absolutely turned to jello.
