1008 numbered Pokémon as of the latest game (excluding the forthcoming DLC), although the true count is possibly implementation dependent - at the very least some Pokémon have different 'forms' which can have different stats, and

Try playing a few Indie games - they are not at all about realism.

This is a big problem with feedback systems. Sure - the fact that the book was published 'late' materially affected their enjoyment, but for ... maybe 99% of people reading the review in the future that's not useful feedback.

I've always thought that might be an interesting feature to have in an esoteric programming language - for floats you must use the 'less than' comparison, but for integers use the 'fewer than' comparison.

Steve Mould, the YouTuber, has a fun takedown of the phrase "6 times colder than", and how in every reasonable interpretation it is completely meaningless. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C91gKuxutTU

This question came up when I was studying for my PhD, and had access to software with built in solar-centric planetary locations. From what I recall, across the full-range of time available in the software (which was something like 300 year

I came into the comments to say the same - the slow version is rather charming like the paint software of the eighties/nineties. But of course I imagine it would be frustrating after a few times.

I have thought that Sci-Fi / speculative fiction stories are in a really good position to be categorised by something similar to Aarne–Thompson–Uther index. Consider some basic stories like: * a person travels backwards through time to

Are there any specific discworld books you’d like to highlight? Some certainly fit into that pattern (I’m thinking specifically Soul Music and Moving Pictures) but things do evolve in the interconnected series. Especially considering the la

Formality used to be very important in language in less egalitarian societies, so it's really an artefact. I have seen it argued that (in German at least) gender can help native speakers with word recognition - i.e. it's easier to

I expected Germany to link to 'mark' (i.e. the former currency), but apparently not.

Yes. Maybe not at your full rate, any maybe implicitly as a part of your work contract (you are paid XX for YY hours and ZZ hours on call) but 100 times yes. Anything which an employer asks you to do is work. All work should be compensated

Interesting. They were interred only a few kilometres from when I am staying right now. I am tempted to see if there is anything to view there.

No. The key word was "Empty and unused" - if you are living in a house (i.e. it is your primary residence) and take a vacation, it's not empty and unused. It is a problem for landlords with empty properties, or for little use

Automated website translation software will sometimes try to translate dates into ‘English’ so 04.01.2023 becomes 01/04/2023. I can see a time where it‘ll start trying to do the same for other units and the large numbers of metric

Arguably the ‘real’ name should be Terra (i.e the Roman name for the goddess of the Earth). But which also looks like the word ‘dirt’, but just wearing its Sunday best. Although I totally support calling the moon ‘Diana’.

Pretty much. From the non-cynical perspective it shows that you took some time to increase your knowledge and skills in the area of [conference topic] which is ultimately of advantage to the company. Especially so if you can tie it into the

One of the things I dislike most about the actual Pokémon games is that they tie the measurement units to the language in the game language. Want to play in English? Congratulations, you only get to see feet and pounds.

I think the implied missing detail is that there was, or was perceived to be, a requirement to register a birth in a timely manner - currently in the UK there is a requirement to register a birth is within 42 days (6 weeks), but I have in
