Thereâs a standard problem in the social sciences in moving from the results of a smaller-scale study to larger-scale applicability. Consider a program in a certain school district that seems to increase academic performance and high school graduation rates. Would the program work in another school district? Will it...
I was âdiscussingâ with Claude about using #define guards vs. #pragma once for C++ header files. At some point, Claude wrote that: If your library is only ever going to target modern mainstream compilers (which, realistically, is true for almost everyone today), plain #pragma once is fine and is what most modern C++...
Cameron Kunzelman In my life as a critic and academic, I am often fortunate enough to go places, read things, and generally have experiences with no expectations around them. I just want to learn without a real goal, and then, after the fact, I assemble that together. Normally that writing has some kind of critical...
âThe Greatest Benefit to Mankind â A Medical History of Humanity from Antiquity to the Presentâ by Roy Porter was published in 1999. Itâs a magnificent 848-page book that I am working my way through.

It was rather good, and I'm excited by the prospect of another series to keep my reading attention. I started reading another Boss Fight Games...

For the deceased who does not have a family, they will roam the earth, and some may be up to no good. The living will present food offerings, burn incense, and burn joss paper for the visiting spirits or...
The Fourth Circuit today held that a South Carolina law restricting "no-excuse" absentee mail-in ballots to voters 65 and older violates the 26th Amendment. This decision stands in contrast to other circuits that upheld related laws during the pandemic. The Supreme Court has never heard a 26th Amendment case. This...
Every year, puzzle game developer Draknek & Friends offers a $15000 USD grant to developers from "traditionally underrepresented groups and backgrounds who are interested in designing and developing puzzle games." You can see their page about the grant here! The grant provides access to both money and to expert...
Singapore won the second-leg of the Asean Championship semi-finals against Thailand: 2-1! To think that Thailand had not conceded to any team in the tournament until it met Singapore. 3 goals conceded by the War Elephants â 94th in FIFA rankings â to the Lions, 54 places down at 148. That surely is something. The...
