I really want to use mojo/max for graphics and game programming, but they don't seem interested in going that route.

I can code a little but I've never done a large project. I want to create something like softimage XSI but open source. a 3D program that is built entirely around usability, because the paid options are too expensive and blender's usability pisses me off.

This, I freeze up when put on the spot, otherwise I can actually code, but it doesn't seem like it when doing coding interviews.

It was my understanding that Autism was more or less that the neurons in the brain expanded further than they could support and the parts that weren't supported atrophied, kinda like a tree that overgrew, think what happens to a fruit tree that isn't pruned. Everyone's brain does some growth and pruning as needed, but something happens with autism that more or less it goes too far and then the parts that atrophy are less controlled than an average brain. This is why savants etc.

This process could express completely different in people that were more or less the same genetically, just one day in a womb where they got different amounts of nutrition could cause differences to manifest, then a lifetime of small differences would further manifest differently.

I have to agree somewhat about the font choice, this particular one is good for textbook print but doesn't work well with a screen, too thin of letters is the short answer.

I could argue that most tasks can be accomplished, but they may not be worth pursuing due to the cost and effort involved. It is astonishing to see how many global issues are political rather than technical, with groups often opposing or preventing the resolution or improvement of the problem.

Based on my life experience, I have learned that small actions can lead to significant outcomes, whereas starting with grand endeavors often leads to mental stagnation and lack of progress.

For instance, let's consider the challenge of addressing climate change and global warming. This is a complex issue composed of numerous interconnected problems. It becomes challenging to determine where to start, which aspect to tackle first, and from which angle to approach it. However, if we narrow our focus to a smaller component, such as plastics recycling, we gain more clarity. We can explore existing initiatives like the cleanup of the Pacific's floating garbage patch or the utilization of otherwise unrecyclable plastics in making blacktop pavement. This narrowed focus provides us with a direction to follow.

If we want to address emissions, a core aspect of combating global warming, the best technical approach would likely involve improving batteries that don't rely on rare metals. I've heard of advancements in saline-based and bacteria-grown batteries. By restricting the scope to batteries, we can identify specific areas to investigate. By avoiding broad and vague objectives, individuals can offer recommendations, share knowledge, and contribute effectively to the cause. If we remain with a large and vague goal it's very hard to make any progress at all.

I've always considered McMansions to be more of style than an actual building type, usually it has to do with a mismatching of architectural styles, almost within the vein of "what a poor person thinks a rich persons house would have". Some of the diagram like posts on McMansion hell are a good example here is one, https://mcmansionhell.com/post/699110995935805440/a-fine-sel...

Also I think many of what is considered a mcmansion to be mass produced, that is if wikipedia is to be believed.
