Various levels of NLP do get applied in IF, but it doesn't necessarily help much. Being able to parse input is an important step, but the game/story needs to be able to do something with those verbs and nouns. For a good player ex

Aside from a few of the biggest Stack Exchange sites (including Stack Overflow) most of the 170 sites don't have ads and don't make profit. The only profit is very indirect, demonstrating that Stack Overflow the company can run si

What about Module.instantiateWasm()? That should let you provide a pre-compiled or even pre-instantiated module.

It denies freedom to the software more than freedom to the person. For copyleft licences the software is most important; for permissive licences people are most important.

And their open source projects like Chrome do have public bug trackers, but in my experience I've either been ignored or treated with what I felt was contempt. The first is probably the same feedback problem as everywhere, the second i

But unlike most other media there's no other way to purchase them. I can't buy DVDs of Kindle active content, I can't get it off ebay. I guess they mustn't consider the international market worth the trouble of solving w

So the Disney Vault is an actual physical vault with human security guards? Wow! I thought it was just a scheme for introducing artificial scarcity.

I would say that the GPL is instead primarily concerned with the freedom of the software, not the authors or users. GPL software can never be taken hostage, even if that inconveniences every human who might want to use it. It's appropr

After using both a Kindle Keyboard and a Kindle Touch, I much prefer the touch screen. I wouldn't mind having page turning buttons though. Switching orientation to landscape makes most of my PDFs readable, at the cost of scrolling thre

Hmm. My screen's been on for 2h 22m out of 2d 10h 22m (about 4%) and it's used 3% of the consumed battery. 49% of the consumption is cell standby, 47% is phone idle. YMMV of course, but 70% screen consumption seems way high to me.
