Another facet is that Jarosław Kaczyński pretends to be some kind of political hermit with no personal life caring only about the greater good. The song calls attention to his duplicity and double standards. What makes it especially dangero

With Linux, you get fewer officially supported games than Mac, but at least it's on people's radar. Few computer users know BSD is a thing, but most have heard of someone using Linux. It's strictly a techie/advanced hobb

Sure, a more fundamental problem. But many people don't have enough imagination and foresight and for them concrete examples are more convincing. Same with the country I'm currently in - democracy has been rotting for the last s

kujon is probably the closest, but it means a person who gets good grades because he works on them very hard, especially by rote memorization and repeating. His method to learn anything is brute force. You never call someone who asks great

US has American Football, jocks, and cheerleaders. This is something notably absent elsewhere. When you watch a hollywood high school move, this strange obsession jumps at you. In Poland the word "nerd" is difficult to translate.

Haha, check out the post-apoc movie "The Road". Papa! Papa! Papa! Papa! Papa! Papa! ... Papa! Papa!

Why not make it default?

I think it would be more useful to know where did I run the command. That bit of context is often lost unless you use absolute paths a lot.

The whole "desktop metaphor", as usually implemented, is trash. I'm a happy user of i3 window manager (a tiling window manager). It's not the first and probably not the last, but it's the first time I can quickly an

If software must be as easy to change as to use, then surely that means it's pretty easy to modify it by accident? Do we really want that?

Same. It's a playfully silly movie. The two movie parody scenes could have better pacing though, they feel too long.

People often criticize clones and parodies as cheap and derivative, but I think to make a good clone you have to understand the original and what makes it tick. Not just what is the original like, but why is it like that, where did it came

If interactive editing is the big win, you can install 'mc' and it will give you many more interactive editing capabilities. Renaming via bash expansion has the additional advantage that it's script-friendly.

Now that you mentioned "flow field", I remember seeing it in a Supreme Commander AI demonstration technique. Two columns of tanks can navigate through each other seamlessly, without chaos. And in realtime. Imagine seeing this in t

Thanks for the alternative name! Helps further research the technique. The core idea is relatively simple so I'm not surprised these are known. But finding a name of something you know is not easy with just a search engine.

A fascinating AI technique is used in one of the best roguelikes, Brogue. The author called it "Dijkstra Maps". Basically it's about generating a heatmap for all the squares on the level. You can start with 0 at player positi

Then why isn't CSS used everywhere for that effect?

It's important to ask any questions at all, because sometimes it can be revealing. In the last place I worked in, when I asked the second question the boss told me we can talk on the way to the elevator because he had another canditate

Why there's no JS framework good at shaping text into columns and automatically flowing text around images? I understand it's not exactly trivial, but aren't the benefits obvious? It's so much more pleasant to read. Inst

I think people talking about extending Toki Pona may be missing the point. This is the Brainfuck of human languages. It's almost the simplest language imaginable. It's an experiment to see how simple a language can be and how many

Long ago when the number of games was much lower, you could count on people to know or hear about all the major games. There was a sense of community, of shared culture. Just like the first years after communism officially ended in Poland -

Github supports reStructuredText just fine. You can even display images in Readme without any extension, just a plain image directive.

It was both malice on the part of Chinese and incompetence of Europeans. But the punchline is the contrast between the hyper-competent, serious image of US healthcare in the movie Contagion and how it turned out in practice.

China did its best to keep the epidemic secret for at least several weeks, while buying medical supplies from Europe and other areas, draining them of their own reserves.

Really? I think it's the opposite. It's golden era for celebrities. You have fb, igram, yt and other platforms. You no longer need to be invited to TV or star in a movie. You can trivially publish a blog. Charisma never had as man
