I'm not here to claim that Orban is anywhere near the level of a "real" dictator in terms of squashing dissent. But consider that one way Orban makes sure to maintain this - indeed significant - majority is to try to silence&

I've been working on a toy compiler on-and-off, which is basically just a "reinvent-the-wheel simulator" since I really haven't looked at much existing literature. A very janky, bug-prone part of it is a sort-of mini par

One game I've played and thought of as similar to some sort of simultaneous chess was Toribash. It's a turn-based fighting game where you control your character via contracting/extending muscle pairs on a simplified skeleton.

I would also include beams of sunlight going through an opening in the clouds under the term "god ray", rather than it being specific to tree leaves. However, I'm not a native speaker.

In what sense is it effective? I'd been lurking here for months before I learned that YC was a company and it ran this place. (Then again I guess I'm not in any sort of relevant target group).

Yes, but our brain is still working and processing information at those times as well, isn't it? Even if not in the same way as it does when we're conscious.

What if a king was excommunicated by the Pope? Isn't that kind of similar to "losing the divine right to rule"?

The "bug" in this case imo, is that we interpret A's sequence as "random garbage" without regard to the actual contents, whereas we interpret B's as "all Ts". The question our brain asks then is &quot

I suspect you are joking, but bytes weren't always 8-bit long, were they?

Interesting! "Kuki" in Hungarian is a children's word for penis. I assume it's a nickname for "kukac", meaning worm/maggot (which, btw, is the same word we use for the @ symbol).

A friend told me that the third video in the recommended list (the one that you see on the side when playing a video) often seems to be a (sometimes) barely related one from a small channel you've never watched. I can confirm the same

There is definitely a lot wrong with the classical music scene in general (speaking as a classical pianist - in training). Most notably elitism/classism. I guess classical music also has lots of image problems and just has trouble find

Maybe we don't need evil robots to create the Matrix and force us into it - we can do it all by ourselves.

Why wouldn't they? There are probably loads of people here who don't work in tech whatsoever. (e.g. myself: a holder of degrees in English and classical piano; a student and part-time shop assistant. Programming/tech/sci

I'm 26 (so, born around the time author started at Apple) and took up programming as an on-and-off hobby in my early twenties. I've never worked in IT in any capacity and don't consider myself skilled or talented. But I love

Interestingly, in my native language (Hungarian) the word "kopó", which means a kind of hunting dog, used to be slang for a detective. I thought there maybe was some connection to "cop", but apparently it's just a c
