This is addictive but aggravating. I chose Space for the clue Planet and nope bomb card!

I was impressed when we pulled off a victory by GPT correctly connecting Wimbledon to Grass+London the round after it failed to choose London from MI6. Some of its clues are hilariously bad though. I lost a game immediately because I chose

This sounds amazing. I wish I had an android so that I could play with this. What I tend to do is look at the Wikipedia page for airports that I hope fly to a certain destination and if so use google flights to see what day the flight is

I have played Avalon a few times but never with the Percival mechanic. However I don't think that being "shameless" can be the dominant strategy. If you make it so you must be either Percival or Merlin the opponents can alw

Amusingly this can be interpreted as that the vote for which voting system to use uses first-past-the-post so first-past-the-post wins.

>I agree, and I like the size of my smaller house. That said, there are some ways that I think the space could be better utilized... for example, we have 4 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, all of which are smaller than you'd see in a modern

I just bought an old house(1920s) and so have been doing a lot of thinking about how much better the layout of surviving old houses are. 1. Natural lighting. I generally do not need artificial lights in the daytime in any room and it is a

I see. You are right.

I thought of a potential loophole. What about a non-deterministic extractor? Let's say you can make your program smaller by having only a 1% chance of extracting perfectly. Just submit the program (for an expected) 100 times and cla

I had the same tin ear problem. Then I returned to Myst as an adult and I realized that the position on the spaceship slider corresponded to the position of the key on the piano and I solved the puzzle by counting!

I think every medieval historian thinks that their subject is the root cause of the renaissance. I have read that modern world exists thanks to … the Arabs who preserved Roman learning and reintroduced it to the west … the Mongols who fos

I would pay $2 to $10 per month to remove all adds from youtube. I would not bother with this.

If we had powerful enough telescope that we could see a civilization growing up 1000 light years away we could record it and provide it as a gift for when we finally meet. Or maybe there is someone out there doing that for us.

Reading the title I immediately thought these set of articles on procedural city generation. It's about the visual appearance of a city but very interesting nonetheless. http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/

From a developer's standpoint it does matter. Every OS version, hardware version is another platform you have to support and test against. Even on identical hardware with an incremental version difference it is not uncommon for some

This looks really cool. Is there a way to have Node.js tools work with TypeScript?

Technically he should have used a binary search. $1, $2, $4,...$64, $128. $128 is too much then do a binary search between $64 and $128.

How robust is the mobile detection? If using the user agent to determine a mobile browser results in many false negatives then not directing from the mobile site version is a good idea. Edit: To be more clear. If you are on a mobile devic

The issue with linux containers is (or at least it used to be) that it is possible for a malicious user to 'break out' of the container. Has this problem been solved?

This is good news if you want to be able to purchase movies on the cheap. When a Blockbuster closing a few years ago where I lived they sold off all their movies. I think it got down to $2 per Blu-ray movie by the end and I picked up more

TypeScript was obviously on your mind. The readme states 'Functions in TypeScript can have zero or more arguments in general, just like in Javascript.' You might want to change that to 'PureScript'

I remember you could define an array to be indexed by an enumerated type which was nice. I haven't seen that done elsewhere.

One thing that leaps out at me from the few successful YC applications I've read is some of the informal language used. For instance, I would never write 'Most banks suck at technology' If it was still legal when I was in s

That was more or less my point. Krugman provides no evidence that the Google Reader follows that model. It is an opinion article entitled 'The Economics of Evil Google.' After the first paragraph there is no reference to Google only 'Mon

I am not an economist but I don't see why being a monopoly or not has anything to do with it. Would a not-monopoly be able to make a profit if it had high fixed costs and no ability to price discriminate? That's without even delving into

This. People confuse education with accreditation. Online courses (should) provide education very cheaply. I hope the US accreditation system gets fixed so that it is cheap too or not so important for employment.

After reading the article several times it seems to me that it has nothing to do with Google. The idea that a company that can't price discriminate and isn't able to make a profit to provide a useful good is interesting. Words like 'Evil

If you want to see Moore's Law in action today you really need to look at GPUs rather than CPUs. Increased performance in recent years has mostly come from increased parallelization which has limiting returns on the CPU( quad cores anyone?
