J. A. Lindon

James Albert Lindon (c. 1914 – 16 December 1979) was an English puzzle enthusiast and poet specialising in light verse, constrained writing, and children's poetry. Lindon was based in Addlestone and Weybridge. His poems often won weekly newspaper competitions, but seldom appeared in anthologies, though poems of his did appear in Yet More Comic and Curious Verse, compiled by J. M. Cohen, published by Penguin Books in 1959. Among his anthologised works are numerous parodies, including spoofs of Dylan Thomas, E. E. Cummings, T. E. Brown, Lewis Carroll, Rudyard Kipling, and Ernest L. Thayer. His palindromic poems appeared occasionally in Word Ways: The Journal of Recreational Linguistics, and several were collected in Howard W. Bergerson's Palindromes and Anagrams. Lindon is also noted as being the world's first writer of vocabularyclept poetry, in which poems are constructed by rearranging the words of an existing poem. Author Martin Gardner often spoke highly of Lindon's poetry, referring to him as the greatest English writer of comic verse. His skill at wordplay was similarly lauded, with Gardner, Bergerson, Dmitri Borgmann, and others proclaiming him to be among the world's finest palindromists. In addition to being a poet, Lindon was an accomplished writer and solver of puzzles, especially those in recreational mathematics. He was responsible for most of the pioneering work on antimagic squares. (Wikipedia).

Gérard Duchamp - Strange gradings and elimination of generators

Elimination of generators (commutative or noncommutative) is linked to many combinatorial theories (Bisection and codes, Semidirect products of pre- sented groups and Lie algebras, Strange gradings over semigroups, Lazard elim- ination). We will describe unifying (categorical) links betwee

Keep Cutting - Sunk Cost Fallacy and Game Development - Extra Credits

Once development begins on a feature, game developers often get drawn into a sunk cost fallacy that compels them to keep working on that feature even when it's failing. Cutting those features is hard, but often the right choice to make the game better. Subscribe for more episodes every Wed
