I don't think the dev would leave the top left without a mine until one is moved there, as that would always be a safe square to click first. So if the probability of finding a mine at any given spot is given by p, then the probability

My daughters have for years enjoyed dropping their plastic straws into their Jarritos bottle where it sits out of reach until the bubbles magically bring it back up.

My algorithms class taught to think of it not as "describing performance" in an absolute sense, but as "describing how performance changes as the size of the input data increases". It is not necessarily true that an O(1)

I think they're probably talking about something closer to lean startup methodology.

I work in a hospital system. The OR is only doing emergency cases today; ambulatory clinics are closed; everything is being done on paper; response communication is via email and peer-to-peer text.

This is a great point, and perhaps we do need a new popular license or set of variants that exclude certain industries. "MIT-Peaceful" perhaps. I know very many people who would refuse to work for certain companies and in certain

Have you read Alien Information Theory: Psychedelic Drug Technologies and the Cosmic Game by Andrew R. Gallimore [0], and do you have any thoughts on his cosmology vis a vis cellular automata? And perhaps also the same question related to

> used in the British Isles from 1820 to 1850 to describe young boys who tended the family or community cows This sounds like exactly the kind of definition that would get appropriated to belittle slaves. See also simply, “boy.”

That wasn’t even the Family Guy sketch I was thinking of! “Red-headed lady, gonna eat an apple. She breathes on it first, wipes it on her bloooouuuuse…”

The lesson is that "should have been fired" was believed by the people who had power on paper; "should not have been fired" was believed by the people actually had power.

I think this critique would only be fair if we more completely understood how we ourselves work under the hood. The "fancy math" is a bunch of non-linear functions that encode something derived from series of tokens. I believe we&

It's been a hot minute since I've done work in this ecosystem, but I am not sure it is accurate to say that Storyboards do not support Auto Layout. I used to build iOS apps with Storyboards and Auto Layout a few years ago. https:

For all the men reading this, you should know that women discuss this as a tactic men take regarding housework, cooking, childcare, emotional labor, or any other traditional "women's work". Even when tolerated, they generally

My 9 year old daughter told me last week that Uranus had rings, and I told her I really didn't think so, are you thinking of Saturn? And she said nope, they both do. What a weird bit of knowledge to get wrong, even at 9, so I looked it

I think there's a lot of value for classic server-side web applications rather than SPAs. That handles routing, state, etc. I'm personally a fan and hope that the server-based application renaissance happens as some predict.

Yes! The source code is itself the first level of documentation. The commit history is the second. A free form textual interface to document everything about why you made the changes you just made? Why not maximize the value of this resourc

You're 100% right. Ever since watching the Jonathan Blow talk on the end of the world I have started paying attention to it and it's amazing how many absolutely shitty software experiences we just accept on the daily. I understand

My journey was similar. After walking through enough art museums and realizing that I only really engaged with and was moved by a few pieces and it was still worth it, I was able to read books of poetry much more calmly.

I wonder if there are measurable personality differences that predict how well someone responds to hyperbolic rhetoric. For instance, the US has been doing down on the Economist Democracy Index in recent years. "Flawed democracy"
