Aesop Rock is one of my favorites. I'd also recommend checking out some other duos that he's been a part of, like Hail Mary Mallon and The Uncluded. :)

It does seem like a major grind to try to do it professionally, but I do understand the appeal! I think my instinct to do everything from scratch by myself would be utterly disastrous, though.

Even absent the annoying pressure from the system to demand more and more numbers (which I am privileged to be able to mostly ignore), I don't think it's that unusual to have a lot of things in flight. Maybe it just depends on how you count. I seem to have 8 very concrete video projects right now. I think if I tallied my projects that I have put serious effort into (over ~decades!), but have not formally abandoned, it would exceed 50. Certainly more if I considered things that I have intention to do but haven't really started. I'm lucky that I don't need to make a business out of it, because honestly even the pressure to put out a decent SIGBOVIK effort once a year severely taxes my precious life-force as a 45 year-old. But I also do like to have finished things, so I could imagine that lifestyle being draining but also very satisfying.

Personally, 50 games in one purchase feels like the opposite of progress given the number of unplayed games I have already.

50 videos in progress(!!!) I'm not sure if that's inspirational or depressing.

No, actually I'm sure. That's depressing. And the difference between being a full-time dilettante and being a full-time "professional" youtuber. The amount of sustained effort to get noticed (and continue to hold attention) these days is a lot.

Just to flesh out the story a bit, I was frustrated by the lack of labels on any doors and the resulting challenges in trying to find people with only a spreadsheet of office assignments and a map to work with. Therefore, I not only created the template, but I also printed a label for every single office and installed them in all the convenient label holders.

AA: I assume you mean because he left out my 90 seconds of suspense-building, completely blank video! I am sympathetic to strange editing decisions, which I have done many times at the last minute (only recently have I learned the lesson that I should probably watch the final edit before uploading?). This one had a natural real-world deadline, and as deadlines approach, even the most cautious editor's x-acto becomes hyperbolic. Plus Matt told me he has 50 (!!) videos in progress?

scene: It's true, or close to true, but it's actually Tom 7 from Tom 7! Thanks for watching and for finding inspiration. You will find the blog—which mostly contains me repeatedly saying that I made a small amount of progress on a secret project—a balancing counterpoint for that inspiration.

I didn’t even mark that one “canonical”! Using the middle move does probably give more interesting behavior than first. It’ll be easy to add to the tournament :)

14942. jonas (37.191.60.209) – 21 Jan 07:41:13 SIGBOVIK 2022: Harder Drive ]
I found an older implementation of the harder drive using ICMP echo at "https://code.kryo.se/pingfs/" from 2015, and it links to yet another earlier implementation from 2009. I think the idea itself has been rediscovered independently multiple times, but few people implement it.

I didn't know Tom from Tom7 ran a blog. Color me surprised! You're a big inspiration for me and I love everything you have produced. Thank you for being you - and making it public for me and others to enjoy!

Some would say: too little! I like Matt's video's on the whole but whomever does his editing often makes some strange choices in what makes the cut, as they are often too long, though in this case it was at least 90 seconds too short.

jonas: Not any of those, but it is along these lines!

A.a.: Art lead on Arranger! I did like the artwork in that game. Your friend did a good job. Also: I guess I have nontrivial connectivity, I'm not nearly social enough to be a hub node. This one's Matt's doing for sure.

video is indeed live. I like how he changed the title after the comments tore it apart. On the other hand, a flawed algorithm might be more entertaining than than an ideal one.

Ah yes, the imaginary would in which all YouTubers you follow also follow each other. Although, now that youtube promotes comments from well known accounts, it turns out there's some truth to it. And if there's a hub-node that holds this small-world-network together, who better than Tom7?

Is it the same unsolved geometry problem that CodeParade was working on, described in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dd8_N_nKRI ?

Ooh, always nice when my favorite youtubers intersect (or is that interact?). Looking forward to seeing it. Point of fact, I was just reminded of your existence from a D!ng/vsauce video about homonyms that I watched 30 minutes ago. In further small-worldism, a buddy of mine from college was art lead on Arranger.

Were you trying to find eight points in a Euclidean plane with pairwise integer distances, no three on a line and no four on a circle? Trying to find the smallest number of points on the Euclidean plane that can't be covered by any number of disjoint unit disks?
