OMG SPOILERS But seriously, I was following this like a TV show, kind of hoping Anand would win for the extra drama it would create. Congrats to Carlsen, clearly an amazing player but... #Caruana2016

Back when LoL was new[er], you could see a player bring out a 'pocket pick' in a tournament, something that no one really played and bring it to prominence. I think a contributing factor for why this doesn't seem to happen mu

I'm not really sure if it's within the rules of the game, so there will probably be no video, but I'll probably github the source soon. It's Node based, but some of the dependencies are a pain to set up.

I wish I knew about this. I wrote a file server that serves your webroot directory over League of Legends chat. Any time you request a file that is more than a few bytes, your chat gets flooded with base64 strings... The extraslow web.

Mozart was an early prodigy for sure, but from what I recall, he didn't put out any really good music until his 20s, and didn't write a masterpiece until his 30s.

Given that the 'vanilla' async-await isn't always safe/bug-free, I can't imagine that the harder version will be.

This seems a bit naive. In my time at university, I have never seen a female computer science major have trouble finding opportunities, even if they were miserable coders. The fact that they bring "balance and diversity" to a team

I think IBM did several things that weren't fair to Kasparov, changing the code between games being only one. I would actually say the more important piece was that he wasn't able to practice against Deep Blue or study its games a

I just want to eat wheat products without nutty people trying to convince me that it is 'poison'. The evidence vastly supports wheat being awesome for your health, not detrimental.

Men will continue to dominate fitness events/sports for the conceivable future. There's good reasons why we have "women's sports", and not just "sports".

When I look at something far away, close things are out of focus. When I look at close things, distance is out of focus. When I watch a 3D movie, I just align the glasses and things are focused according to the camera that shot it.
