The flight itself should take about an hour, but with the trip to and from the airports, the luggage and passport controls and the need to arrive before the plane takes off, I would say the travel time between two offices in Amsterdam and L

For those who are too lazy to compile the game to see what it looks like, here is the official page of Soldat: https://soldat.pl/en/ It has screenshots.

“Praise and support of the storming of the US Capitol” is non violent for you?

You are right, the game could just be programmed to stop when one player is mated. The reason they didn't is, I think, to mimic the real life shogi play where the game ends when one player recognizes defeat.

No, "checkmate" in shogi is the same as as in chess. What I meant to say is that if you are checkmated, you have to resign for the game to be over (on 81dojo). In theory, you could be a dick and not do anything until you run out o

I also play shogi online on 81dojo like the GP. Yes, I think the penalty is meta-game: people can say you have bad manners, which will affect your "social credit" on the server, or you will banned from playing for a while if you d

Looks great! Just one question: in the roadmap, what do you mean by "Implement LaTeX generation module"? You want to make a templating system like Sweave in R [0]? [0] https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel&#x2

Thanks! I generally prefer books over audiobooks, but I may listen to an audiobook for a change. I read plenty of books by Alexandre Dumas in the past, and a few by Jules Verne. I wasn't aware of Verne's views, but I would guess t

It's a great idea, just one suggestion: would it be possible to choose the language of the novels we decide to read? For example, I am French, so I would rather read _The Count of Monte Christo_, _Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Seas

You could imagine that it's a rule in the company where GP works that programmers have to notify the boss when they change CreditChecking.java. GP's colleagues who are not using emacs would have to do it manually, while GP would d

I tried to learn Galois theory on Coursera a few years ago (the course was in French, which is my mother tongue, but probably few HNers can understand it), and failed the class partly due to lack of time. Since then I've been trying fr

First, I am not the one who downvoted you. My reply was more about giving an anecdote countering yours, than being a nationalist. About France remembering its history, it's true that for a long time some things were hidden, but in 1995

It's about people being able to trust their currency. Let me explain: suppose that your government was creating a huge amount of money out of nothing. It would result in a massive inflation and, with the value of money being completely

I got 2.3/6 and my burnout risk is "mid", so they probably weight some questions more than others when assessing the burnout risk.

I think it's fine. In the first occurrence, $(sourceCodeSnippet) is replaced in the code, and later evaluated (and the result of this evaluation will be passed to the const result). In the second occurrence, it is replaced inside a st
