Well... as long as they work precisely as well (or badly) as the 37-year-old originals do, that's perfect, right?

"No, see, us making more money always makes it possible for us to serve you better." And do you serve us better? "Oh no. God, no."

I hope this will be available to, like, regular humans who need it for medical reasons, not just Ford workers.

That wasn't an opinion, that was propaganda. It was and still is in his best interests that young people buy that line, because from his perspective young people are not so much smarter as cheaper: fewer commitments, willing to put up

Your argument is tautologous. Any "clueless programmer" can "screw themselves due to ignorance" in any programming language. The question is how difficult it is for programmers to avoid mistakes and how aggressive the pr

I'm sure that comes as great comfort to all the people in the US to whom that's happened.

"Tetris" has to be well-defined mathematically before it can be confronted as a problem. Rules governing piece rotation behaviour, piece spawning, piece randomization, wall kicks, loss conditions and even well dimensions need to b

In fact you can just line five of the Z shapes up along the bottom, over and over again. This technique works indefinitely. Now, if there's an occasional S shape thrown into the mix, you have a problem.

For the purposes of finding a "winning strategy" we have to have a solution for every piece sequence, regardless of probability.

A bubble can be a really nasty small bubble regardless of whether it's being deliberately externally manipulated or not. HN is 1000% definitely a limited bubble.

Did you have a weak password or one which you used elsewhere, where it could have been leaked?

Oh good, so you just have to hack the counting machine?

by amptorn 9y ago
Hand-counting only. Hand-count twice for security. To hell with the scanners. Don't introduce fallible, hackable image recognition nonsense to a process which can be entirely paper-based.

That's not the problem. Strings saying "null" are not the problem. That's just four lower-case characters. No system chokes on that directly. The problem is downstream, where some galactic idiot has special-cased the s

Yeah, hence the classic joke "Did you hear they discovered a habitable planet harboring intelligent life orbiting the closest star to Earth?"

`Function.prototype.toString()` is the basis for an alternate, ES5-era multiline string syntax: var str = (function(){/* STRING GOES HERE */}).toString().slice(14, -3);

The web will be for people who are willing to pay to say something, I guess.

I'm going to guess the square law? This monitor has about 75 times the screen area of a typical phone.

A leap second coming between now and Unix time 1500000000 would certainly be unexpected. I doubt any software in the world is ready for that.

No, I can force you to host words and it looks like you said them.
