Not really because it’s not a one-to-one mapping with ASCII. 3 characters in the input becomes 4 in the output.

It’s not just the packaging situation that makes Python a bad first language. Whenever I write in Python, I find it completely impossible to stop myself from constantly making basic, beginner-level programming mistakes. Every time I miss ha

I can’t tell if your comment was meant to be ironic but OSM has been around for 20 years, and its data is used by billions of people.

However posting on reddit about it, would not be such a smart strategy. I think it's genuinely just a coincidence, WSB gets plenty of worthless "DD" posts every day that end up amounting to nothing.

Because it's a one-click process to publish, which makes it easy for designers. It's not really more complicated than that, "just host it yourself" sounds an awful lot like "Dropbox is just rsync".

Wouldn’t creating an index for each tag cost a lot of disk space? There are hundreds (thousands?) of OSM tags. I like their approach of combining a FTS table with a normal JSON query for ad-hoc queries.

I think that's a good starting definition for programmers, but still could cause confusion when you run into something like IO in Haskell. IO isn't really a data structure, and it's hard to fit the "flat map" concep

It doesn't even require creativity - I think many existing sports would be fun in low gravity. Basketball with extremely tall hoops. Tennis on a massive court. Not to mention golf.

Player inputs are constantly fed into the RNG. Seed probably isn’t the right word. Maybe a better way would be to say it uses a fixed seed, and the player inputs are used as the sole source of entropy.

In Mario Maker 1 you can download and enter the editor for any level in-game, so yeah in practice the only thing you can do to make an "unbeatable" level is to rely on randomness (the Lucky Draw level from a sibling comment has a

According to a few high-profile members of the community (including people who previously insisted the level wasn't cheated), the level creator sent them a video of the TAS being used in practice.

I can't reproduce your google sheets bug, it always highlights the next cell for me (not in edit mode) regardless of whether I input data into the formula bar or the cell. Are you sure it's not an extension or something?

Funny that he’s only realising this now when he’s had comments telling him for years pretty much exactly this.

They bought the rights to a game that I previously purchased on Steam (Rocket League), then promptly dropped Linux and Mac support and moved everything to the Epic Games Store.

It’s possible to get a verified badge on your org page if you prove you own your domain. This can go a long way to improve trust. Your example just seems to have not done it.

This is a false dichotomy. Someone creating the "fix problem" commits is not going to suddenly write great commit messages because the merge strategy changed. The root evil is actually MRs that live longer than a day or two, and c
