I think this is common in scientists and researchers. They operate at the edge of knowledge with one foot in the unverifiable and their eyes peering further still into the murky unknown. There is no map nor direction where they're going, and that extension out into the darkness is often much like superstitious belief.

What makes them different from followers of the occult that remain lost in the fog is that science returns from explorations with verifiable proof. Research extends it's own foundations with new findings in order to venture yet another step further outwards.

How does playing the game bring revenue? Ads?

Also, I would think that the business would be in a tougher situation if game popularity increased while tech workers weren't around to maintain it

It's the difference between knowing you'll grow and graduate together with your classmates vs knowing you're only going to see them for that one month before you move away.

Distributing power across a group of communities over the same topic (e.g. like seats in a congress/parliament) is a nice thought.

However, my second thought was how vulnerable that is in a fediverse. To continue the analogy, an adversary could create new states (server/communities) of arbitrary population (accounts) at will.

Dedicated incremental static type checkers for dynamic languages already exist. In particular, Pyright for Python is fantastic and in many ways surpasses the type systems of classic typed languages

In the US? IMO only possible in exclusive environments similar to saunas at spas or membership-based clubs/gyms

I think your ideas are too non-practical/specialized/advanced/low-level for your stated goal of 'digital literacy". They read more like college intro/followup course material and are too esoteric to be readily absorbed, esp by generic teenagers, even if they've self-selected to be "lightly interested".

In recreational climbing, skin calluses and surface abrasion aren't usually much of a concern compared to tendon health. Skin heals light damage quite easily.

However, it's not uncommon for a new (or experienced) climber to develop their muscles beyond what their own tendons can take. Since it takes tendons so long to strengthen, it's common to need managing the risk of finger pulley tendon injuries in climbing.

Also, I do not know how these nuances apply in your context of your medical condition.

Idgi -- is it saying that every game is either named "X" or "Y's X"?

There's the practical distinction between "everyone can do it with some dedicated intent" (so few actually bother) vs "everyone can do it on a whim"

wanted to add something to the end of a for-loop, but had too little indentation

To address this, I prefer reducing length & depth of nested code, so the for/while is rarely ever not visible along with everything inside it. Others have success with editors that draw indentation lines.

opening up new/anonymous scopes

I occasionally use Python nested functions for this purpose
