What does the calculation of advantage mean there? The advantage per one nice and one naughty roll (a pair of rolls) is multiplied by the total number of single rolls in a 4-player game. And I guess an honest player would pick the nice loca

1. Losing uncommitted changes by making two mistakes in a row after non-intuitive behaviour by the VCS is not unheard of in Git. 2. Git is strictly worse than both Fossil and Monotone (two SQLite-based DVCSes I have used) w.r.t. losing _com

Every legal protection creates a possibility of costly litigation, including a possibility of a litigation that is costly despite the claim being bogus. A design patent (and a regular patent, too) can be broad enough to cover all the obviou

There are non-US crawlers. Of course they have their own governments to direct censorship. But they censor differently, so you get a better chance. Surprisingly, Baidu does index the relevant stuff in this case. For Yandex it is not even su

I would say that «a mathematical universe» would be more correct here, because they just cover some of the areas; for example searching for «Ramsey» will yield no results; «probability» will yield just one result where an algebraic construc

And the reason why you cannot check that the program performs no I/O is because you cannot check if the I/O instructions are behind an infinite loop or an impossible condition or not. It is definitely easy to verify that a program
