In theory, wouldn't the player who takes the first move have a tiny tiny edge? Or is the second mover always able to guarantee a draw if they play perfectly?

We're trying to solve that problem with Construct 3: https://www.construct.net We find a lot of schools go straight to python coding after scratch, but our block based system is a powerful and allows students to write their

I'm one of the founders of Construct 3 - thanks for mentioning us! We see that after scratch lots of schools go straight to coding raw python, we feel Construct 3 can more naturally provide the transition from Scratch to coding and ar

One piece of the puzzle I'm struggling with in all of this is why if housing is so expensive and rents so high are more houses not being built? Surely the incentive is there, what's going wrong?

Interesting interview on the radio here in the UK a few weeks ago with a famous climber who went to Saudi Arabia I think to compete after much moral deliberation. He did say that every native he spoke to was very grateful for his attendanc

I've sunk a ton of hours into HLL :) But yes, basically HLL but isometric and perhaps larger playercounts.

Hell Let Loose is an excellent game! A great balance of strategy and action, even as a grunt if you work with your squad there's a lot of strategy and tactics.

Back when I was younger there was an isometric online Sony game called infantry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infantry_(video_game) Team based, but also squad based with a squad leader and various roles + vehicles. In

So change the website theme to light mode? I use dark mode, and am happy when websites are served in dark mode (and I think the majority are this way). I think you're likely in the minority, and the easy fix is just to switch the web

It's obviously a scale and a balancing act, because you can't be seriously arguing that any increase will force all unskilled labour into unemployment. So I suppose the argument is that some people think it's too low, some t

Depressing to see so much vitriol in here for an idea to improve living standards for people who earn less. The argument that cost of living will somehow increase in linear proportional lockstep with minimum wage increases is nonsense. Abo

Increase in minimum wage should improve the quality of life for those on minimum wage - I wouldn't expect many minimum wage earning families to have substantial savings but it's irrelevant, we shouldn't let the imperfect be t

Not "Properly" but I find Economics Explained on Youtube very educational and insightful, and to my limited knowledge quite balanced and well researched: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZ4AMrDcNrfy3X6nsU8-

OK bad examples, but any open source project you use via a package manager in your projects you have to trust and there's no contract or relationship there.

Perhaps not so relevant for a misplaced apostrophe, but language is malleable and if we were always using it 100% correctly it would never evolve.

You have to have some level of trust - our ASP.net website loads quite a few Nuget packages we regularly keep up to date. Theoretically any of them say Stripe or Paypal could add nefarious code into our site to steal a bunch of stuff - the

Racism is wrong and dangerous, and giving oxygen to it helps propagate and give validity to it. Censoring it might keep the racists to their ugly selves, but that's OK with me.
