推薦理由：《家國夢》是由人民日報和騰訊遊戲共同創作的公益手游。遊戲以中國建國70周年作為主旋律，號召玩家為中國，為家鄉的建設，貢獻力量……看看介紹，感覺這是一個不算太複雜的遊戲。但是如果把所學的知識和這個看似不複雜的手游混合在一起的話會怎麼樣呢？這個項目是一個計算在遊戲中建築最優配置的計算器，也就是把演算法的知識和這個遊戲結合的成果。雖然看起來大有種殺雞用宰牛刀的感覺，但是最起碼你擁有了一個駁倒「讀書有啥用，拿去買菜嗎？」的完美理由了——誰說知識不能用在打遊戲上的？

10 Signs You』ve Got a Stupid Idea
We all have them. Learn how to spot them on sight.
Even geniuses have terrible ideas. They』re just good at spotting them. They know what a good ideal feels like.A good idea makes you go hell yeah.
A good idea won』t usually make you rich or famous. It might not meet with a ton of praise. But you don』t regret it, either. It』s hard to know when you』ve got a truly stupid idea, and when you』re just doubting yourself.
Hard, but not impossible.
Recently, I spent 7 hours on a stupid idea. Then I made a fresh pot of coffee and stared out the kitchen window for a while. When I came back to my idea, I found myself whispering, 「Holy shit… this is terrible.」 So I deleted the whole thing and wrote this instead.
I』m coming off fresh from a stupid idea, with firsthand knowledge of what it feels like from start to finish:
You feel like it』s utterly brilliant
The idea feels like a masterpiece waiting to happen. You haven』t even started working on it, and yet you just know somehow. Yeah, right. When you catch yourself marveling at the light bulb above your head, it』s time to take a break. You』re not thinking clearly.You』re obsessed with its originality
Nobody has ever thought of this before, right? You』ll be the first. In truth, nobody』s ever the first to come up with an idea. Not anymore. Humans have lived too long. Every idea just adds a little something. The novelty of an idea doesn』t matter as much as the quality of execution.You focus on the bells and whistles
The idea should be enough. It doesn』t need special features or gimmicks. If it does, you』ve got a stupid idea.You can』t wait to show it to someone
That』s because you feel insecure about your brilliant idea, and you want external validation right away. You don』t just want someone else to nod and go 「cool.」 You want them to react like a cartoon.It forms out of desperation
You』re probably deep in the swamp of failure. You』re not feeling great about yourself. You』re looking for any reason to feel better. This means you』re more likely to overestimate the quality of your ideas. When you』re not starving, you know how to toss back the little fish.You feel an urge to get it done now
Part of you sees what』s going on, and it tries to get you to slow down and think. Your better self doesn』t want you throwing away ten hours on an idea with no merit. Ironically, this puts the rest of your brain into overdrive. It doubles down on your bad idea, and tries to get as much work in as possible before you wise up. We become strangely fixated on bringing our stupid ideas to their rotten fruition.It』s completely unfeasible
That』s the part that tantalizes you. It looks really hard, perhaps even impossible, and right now you want the distraction of a challenge. You might lack the skill set to bring your idea into being, but that won』t stop you. You』ll find a shortcut somehow.You care more about the idea than anything
The best ideas add value to other people』s lives. When you skip over this part, that』s a red hot sign that you should stop and relax. You』ve started caring more about the idea, and the attention it will bring you, than what you』re actually bringing to the table.You start fearing that it will fail
What if nobody cares about your brilliant idea? You』ve invested all this time and energy. If it doesn』t vomit rainbows, you』ll be devastated. That means you probably know it』s going to fail. Not only that, you』re starting to see why — and just can』t admit it to yourself. A good idea will get better through criticism. A stupid idea completely falls apart.It』s actually torturing you
A good idea should feel good. You shouldn』t be sweating too much over it. You should be approaching it with a calm, patient attitude. It』s hard, but the good kind of hard — not the kind that makes you agitated, swinging back and forth between euphoria and panic attacks.Sometimes a good idea is just a cool little idea. It doesn』t take long to implement — and you don』t expect much. These ideas might excite people more than you expected, but not less.
You know you should be doing something else
Your utterly brilliant idea could just be a distraction from parts of your life that you』re neglecting. That little voice in your head keeps saying, 「Are you sure this is worth your time?」 The little voice doesn』t doubt you, just this idea. It feels like you could be doing something more worthwhile, like taking a shower. Have you smelled yourself?Stop waiting for the next brilliant idea
We spend so much time trying not to give up. But sometimes you do yourself the biggest favor by stepping back from those brilliant ideas. They』re just stupid ideas wearing a cool suit. It』s okay, you can give up on a stupid idea without giving up on yourself.下載開源日報APP：https://openingsource.org/2579/
