Would be great to be able to reconstruct the whole story in the style of the images as a comic book or animation. Might be a nice job for the generative models of the future.
Good point. I would refer to another (similar) metric, which could be called "IDE-search-ability): it extends greppability, by adding some more conventions which work well with your (your company's) IDE.
There is a huge difference between game theoretic optimal strategy and actual profitable strategy due to the human nature of the players. I imagine a professional poker player as someone who certainly knows the odds (math of the poker game in general), but is also very good in interpreting his opponents behavior (which would minimize the information revealed by them, but could they do it completely?). There are so many biases which even professional players have to overcome, that in my opinion poker is strongly psychological game. Also because of that I think that online poker and live poker are slightly different games.
Well, what came to my head pretty quickly when reading this was "there should be separate tables";) Thank you for the article, I didn't know about the statistic configuration in postgres. I can use your lesson straight away, as I'm desining a database for online gaming platform and now I'm sure that there should be separate tables for currently running and finished games:)
Also: very clear and easy to follow language, props to the author. Cheers.
