Reminder mostly to myself but also to anybody it speaks to:
Your #gamedev project (or anything) doesn't have to be finished ASAP. Every little bit you add, no matter how small, pushes you closer to creating a full experience.
This means it's okay to have lulls in progress from time to time, in fact it's probably a good thing because it gives you an opportunity to recharge your creativity and refine aspects that might be a bit lacklustre.
Powering through might get you somewhere faster, but slowing down the pace will help make sure where you end up is something you'll be more proud of.
Infinity is infinity, nothing can be bigger than that right? Turns out there are different sizes of infinity. Matter of fact, there are infinite sizes infinity!
I wrote about how to go from the small infinities to the larger infinities: https://azeemba.com/posts/infinity-plus-1-finding-larger-infinities.html

Evolution makes sense: parent organism spreads genes down to its children. But that's not the only way for genes to spread!
Genes can also spread horizontally to unrelated organisms! That's called Horizontal Gene Transfer. Bacteria do this all the time! The tiny animal shown here has 8% of genes borrowed from bacteria!
The Wikipedia page mentions a whole bunch of other examples of horizontal gene transfers:
- Small fish called smelts got the "antifreeze" gene from herrings
- Fruit flies have genes from bacteria
- Some fungi learned how to infect plants by getting the gene from plants!

π can actually have different values! It is defined by the shape of a circle and that is defined by distance. If you use the "Manhattan distance" then a "circle" actually looks like a square. Here are other "circles" for different definitions of distance (starting with Manhattan distance, then going to our regular circle and crossing over to Maximal distance)
For these different definitions of distance, our value of π is the smallest possible π!
