Compression is waaay more effective, so if you have to pick one, go with compressing. Is having readable source code worth the other 2KB? That's up to you. Source maps can do the same thing with less, though. Also, modern devtools have ways of de-minification (if you don't mind all the mangled variable names).
It makes me worry about the invisible minions that are pushing the blocks into place. They only have a second, blocks are falling, how can the get it to the right numbers in time? But as soon as the numbers are legible, the blocks for the next number are already falling, and the invisible minions must jump straight to working on those blocks without a moments rest, second after second, nonstop for eternity.
The sports side of college is bizarre. I think it is descended from British upper class amateur athletics, but it makes no sense in modern times. Athletics has nothing to do with education. Nothing at all. Star athletes are there only so they can get noticed by scouts. Universities keep teams around for the money. They ought to stop pretending there's any connection to education and replace it all with minor leagues and farm teams. But since there's a hundred years of tradition, I doubt anything will change.
Obviously next you switch up the game to do things besides lunar landing. Have it be a take off ascent simulator for example. After a few years we can have an entire space mission programmed by gamers...
I recommend Motel of the Mysteries by David Macaulay, which explores this concept by having a future archaeologist investigate a motel from the 20th century and arrive at extremely bizarre conclusions.
> The long term impact of the ease of generating low nutrition digital content using language models may be that people put down their devices
The problem is people don't always make the wise decision. Evidence: the junk food industry is alive and kicking.
Some people will disconnect from devices, but others may just say "this is the way things are now" and adjust themselves to the flavor of junk content.
Wingspan (2019) was my favorite new (to me) game. I like that you can strategize and compete without directly getting in each other's way. It's great if you're tired of making enemies during games.
Other long term favorites are Castles of Burgundy, Scythe, and Viticulture.
That would make things waaaay more difficult for users. "Okay, I'm logged in, let me do something.... Now it says I don't have permission?? Did my account get deactivated??? What am I doing wrong????"
