I think it's a reference to this pact: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molotov%E2%80%93Ribbentrop_Pac...

There is strong correlation of top countries in the list with the list of happiest countries in the world. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/happiest-... Top 10 in the paper (from appendix): Iceland, S

Saunas (at least the way we enjoy them here in Finland) can be pretty humid, because we throw water on the stones of the stove. But throwing too much water can make it intolerable, and lethal if you don't follow your instinct to leave

Your strategy is not optimal. If you want to be efficiently freeloading, you should not be announcing your position. Freeloading with vaccination only works if just a small enough minority of people are doing it. In order to minimize your p

I used to be heavily involved in the demoscene during late 80's/early 90's. (And still occasionally visit demoparties.) I think the best thing in making demos was the feeling of achievement when you managed to get a new effec

This is not about peak sensitivities. The RGB colors are used as primaries because they provide a large response on one type of cones, and as small as possible response on the two other types of cones. Blue is chosen to have as small wavele

CMY/RGB is not an arbitrary choice for color model. It's the best approximation for stimulating the color receptors in the human eye. RYB on the other hand is just historical model that still exists because traditions in the art t

It's an even older Aggression logo https://demozoo.org/graphics/148490/ (from times before Jani joined Aggression).

Now that the Atari ST part of the article is out as well, I'll add some corrections regarding ST graphics format. The article states that "There are no bitplanes here like on the Amiga we saw in the previous entry." This is s

Typically you'll see a "wave" of blinking emergency lights arriving well before the sudden congestion, you pass that on for those behind you, and prepare to slow down.

I think the intuition gap comes from the misleading arts education about colour. It's still common to teach in schools that primary colors for paint are blue, red and yellow - when the correct primary colors are cyan, magenta and yello

I suppose you don't live in Finland, because I've never heard opinions like that from a fellow Finn. Last night the outdoor temperature here was -20 C (-4 F). In conditions like this, it's basic human behaviour to give shelte

I'm from Finland, and I think the fine system here works well. There are some crucial differences from the US system however. First, fines don't go to the local police departments, and local municipalities don't get any finan

I think it's important to know when a theoretical framework can be applied to the full extent and when the real-life situation is actually a subset that behaves differently. In this case the problem is solvable within the subset presen

Late to the party, but the proof requires integers with infinite amount of bits. With real-life programming languages there's limited number of bits in integers, and this means that the proof doesn't work with any real-life langua
