Unless they have explicitly transferred ownership, then yes. IP generally vests with the creator and is licensed to the recipient unless they have explicitly agreed otherwise.

This seems like a natural outcome of running such a platform. The platform is trying to optimise revenue. They can choose which user complaints to support/reject but they can’t satisfy everyone.

Actually, Fibonacci results can be fairly precisely tested with the golden ratio ratio.

perhaps the question should be: why don’t investors allocate funds for secure software?

Ridiculous. Diagrams are extremely useful for communicating the essential information efficiently. Not everyone needs to spend time going through every line of source code to understand design concepts. I’m really struggling to see how this

This is a great take, but good luck explaining the difference to the majority who are unfamiliar with the technology/mathematics behind it. Most people won’t attempt to understand the difference - and worse they won’t care. It’s just

Hmm, that’s a lot of rules to adhere to. I wouldn’t want to miss one. If only there were a linter to ensure these rules were always followed..

Definitely one of the best. I’ve played many many hours of this with and without expansions. Very playable with two, but best with 3 or 4 players - the negotiations between players is where the game really shines.

The question contains contradictory information. I suppose a smarter AI might have worked out the intended meaning, or asked for clarification. But how many humans would?

The era of strong vs weak typing debate has passed. Adopt strong typing, like a professional, or fade into the 90s web. Harsh but fair.

Is it? Seems to me that most instructions are naturally async or can be refactored as such. I’m probably wrong, just a feeling.

It’s been a while since I wrote Java, but real time processing was always just a C wrapper with JNI. Maybe it’s changed now?
