Apple doesn't itself make those games, it simply offers a marketplace and takes an obscene 30% cut of all the horribly addictive games. The companies that make those games, like Epic and miHoYo are far more directly culpable. Really, I

I believe for AWS, they use these ratios: https://github.com/opencost/opencost/blob/c2de805f66d0ba0e53... So in your example, 6 CPU + 16GiB is roughly 2x more than 2 CPU and 16GiB, so if that node cost say $6

By "guessing" I meant "the guessing phase" as opposed to "the clueing phase", i.e. it's about the phase where you pick cards. I should have said "picking phase", but from my example, you should h

I feel like saying "<death card hint> 0" every time is 100% in the spirit of the clue-ing rules, and there's no rules related to guessing, so this guessing strategy also doesn't seem to violate things that overtly.

That adds pretty noticeable friction over the pre-printed cards, so I think the pre-printed cards make a lot of sense to have. Note that the game already comes with 25 colored tiles (red / blue / white) which are used to cover the

You clearly don't understand the article since it's not about clues at all, but entirely about guessing. Basically, the claim is that based entirely on the pattern of the board (revealed red, blue, and white cards), there are so f

"other factors" can be treated as a singular group noun if you want, so I think both are correct. By example: "There are likely to be cows over that hill" - correct, many cows "There is likely to be a herd of cows o

I assume he's talking about: prctl(PR_SET_MM, PR_SET_MM_EXE_FILE, fd, 0, 0) Regarding the munmapping stuff, if you read the code for "replace_mm_exe_file" in the kernel source code, it should make sense.
