Don't overthink it, I think you are being a bit cynical. If your kid enjoys it then it's worth the money. If you can't afford that then find other things your kid enjoys. The reward of a game is playing it, not the 'pr

That's actually the point of the .name TLD is that it's not for businesses, it's for individuals. This whole situation demonstrates ICANN is more for businesses than individuals. It should just be there for everyone and eve

Okay but that's not really relevant as the name changing is not a reason to leave/boycott?

I feel like I'm living under a rock reading this post. What are the problems with Twitter, why does it need boycotting?

Yet that is a problem the owner of such a domain has freely entered into by buying that domain, it's their right to keep it despite this apparent problem, if they wish.

In defense given the amount of web content being processed it makes a lot of sense to use JS and related tech. It's put to good use here.

And I'll add that whether the style guide or the journalists, BBC articles tend to be like this: constantly saying sentences without giving the full context needed to understand them. This is why as a right wing person I tend to read

This isn't written by AI, this is just how BBC news articles are written. I find it frustrating too.

Here is the conventional use of Big O notation where the input is a number: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller%E2%80%93Rabin_primality... As you'll see they are using the number of digits, not the value of the n

If you want to measure growth based on another variable you are allowed to do so, but for most algorithms I'm more interested in the growth of time according to input size.

Really it's worse than exponential, because the size of the input is not n, it's the number of bits needed to store n i.e. log n. So as the number of bits k grow, it's growing phi^(2^k).

To be clear, I'm not accusing you of plagiarism at all. I'm just saying this kind of typo unfortunately doesn't prove anything.

This is exactly the kind of spelling mistake ChatGPT makes if you ask it to make spelling mistakes to make text look more authentic. What seems to happen is it will get a lot of words like curriculum wrong that people rarely spell incorrect

I really love Forth and spend almost all my free programming time playing with it and I'd never teach it to a class of kids.

It's really easy to miss the value in Pointless Rewrite 5 of Core Module 4, but the grad who rewrites it will at least understand it afterwards and can fix the bugs they introduced and add new features to it easier. But the hard pill

Also listened in the car but since they've recently shut down the LW tower I can't receive it anymore in the midlands, only occasionally get FM signal.

The original joke for anyone who doesn't know or remember, Michael, the manager, asks his accountant to explain what a surplus is like he would to an 8 year old. Michael doesn't understand this and asks for how he would explain i

Interesting though in retrospect they chose good platforms, Mac and UNIX are still around and flourishing and OS/2 died a death, although would a lot of OS/2 stuff have run on Windows?

Which would be a problem if it was called "14 words".

I don't know how this is a counter-point, isn't it just a point? Can lawns co-exist with no lawns? EDIT: parent has removed "counter-point".

My young children both love the lawn and I can tell they get a lot from interacting with it, playing on it, etc. It is a little bit of accessible greenery in my small back-garden and I don't need to water it, just mow it occasionally.
