Giving hints. On math or programming problems, they are overfit to solving the entire thing end to end (presumably for benchmarks). I have had very poor results asking for pointers and hints that don't give away key insights. This has

Wow, I'm seriously impressed! Questions for the author: I haven't had a chance to read the code yet, but how does this actually adjust the text? I get that it uses Knuth-Plass to calculate layout, but what does it do in CSS (or SV

I agree with the spirit of what you're saying: that many aspects of this post seem unnecessary. But I do think there are reasonable answers to your (admittedly probably rhetorical) questions. Zig is a relatively young language with a s

The best exploration of this that I have seen in media is one of my favorite movies: Nightcrawler (2014), starring Jake Gyllenhaal. The movie doesn't touch on the government/democracy aspect of the article, but it very much captur

I like currying because it's fun and cool, but found myself nodding along throughout the whole article. I've taken for granted that declaring and using curried functions with nice associativity (i.e., avoiding lots of parentheses)

Thanks! I also told Aga via email in the thread where I submitted my article. Worth noting that the HTML tag in the title was stripped from the PDF table of contents as well, so the title for that article in the contents is missing a word.

The article I submitted has an HTML tag in the title, and seems to have broken the web viewer :( Note that you can link to pages in a PDF with a hash like #page=64 (for example) in the URL. https://pagedout.institute/downloa

I consider Recursion by Blake Crouch to be similar, even though I liked Antimemetics much better. I haven't read Crouch's other books, but have heard that Dark Matter is better than Recursion , though it may be less similar

Nice fork! (I am the person who wrote the original.) My version is still working well for me, so it's been hard to find motivation to update it. Also, I've been using my increasingly limited free time to work on some exciting new
