I thought my code was hard to debug, can you imagine understanding and debugging code written by an AI?

That is how it works, I thought that was the whole point. It's a game about greed. You can either play it safe and go up 1 by 1, or go fast. The max you can get is 5 if you press immediately, seems to drop down to 1 after half a turn.

It is a bit of a slippery slope, because at some point, you could just do "GameApp.AddScore(10000)" which is clearly not playing the game. The line of what's "fair" and what's not isn't too clear. I do thi

That's not needed, what is needed is what they said they would do: > and utf8 is expected subsequently to become a reference to utf8mb4 Once utf8 points to the right thing, the mistake will stop happening as no one is explicitly usi

It is a weird situation because it's hard to decide where to draw the line. Even right now the exceptions are weird and semi-arbitrary. Everyone paying 30% doesn't work, but neither does no one paying 30%, since every app would ju

How well this system works depends directly on the delta between how influential the platform is vs how influential the accused is. As you mention, eBay for the longest time was one of the only/biggest way to sell things online, and re

This reminds me of my favorite "true but hard to believe" fact. Imagine you have a string wrapped tightly around the earth, how much more string to you need to raise the string 10cm above the ground everywhere? The answer just fee

So is the earth, really. Reminds me of how all humans would fit in a ball of meat in Central Park [0]. The satellites aren't much bigger than humans, so even if there was a starlink satellite for every single human, it would still bare

Would the fact that space between here and there is stretching during that time impact that?

Wow, yeah the experience is much worse on mobile. You have to wait for it to zoom in, press X, wait for it to zoom out, press X again.

A great addition to prune a ton of false-positives is to check the length of the strings. Almost always, the intentional implicit concats will have a very long string that reaches the max line length, whereas the accidental ones are almost

C/C++ has the exact same thing, no?

A lot of people in this thread are using this to make fun of Python, but the exact same issue exists in something like c++, here's some I fixed recently: https://github.com/UWQuickstep/quickstep/pull/9

Nice! Internally we have a PCRE support on our code search and I regularly run a regex to find and fix these. I've also found a ton on opensource project which I've been trying to fix: https://github.com/YosysHQ&#x

But does one given shorthand get hardcoded to go to a single word, or is it using some "autocorrect" system that predicts the word you want? Whatever system this uses seems more powerful than steno to me.

by ehsankia 5y ago
Same, found that I had to click the "X" next to the pause before the autoplay kicks in (you have like 5s). Then you can click another right away.

by ehsankia 5y ago
To me, it comes down to this line: > have a computer program generate a predicted word Do steno devices do this? This right there easily disqualifies it from competitions. It's like using the keyboard autocomplete. If you're us

RAW is not quite what they want (I think). It's HDR+ that they need to disable. The latter takes multiple frames at different exposures and smartly merged them into a single photo, then applies extra color corrections on top. Taking RA

Not only it's not unusual for a Youtuber who frequently posts videos of themselves flying, but it also would explain why they would trek to the crash site, to recover expensive equipment, especially if the crash was nearby (which it wa

by ehsankia 5y ago
It's already established that he's a Youtuber and has cameras, why would you not take all your cameras with you when jumping out of the plane? Not even for the cool factor, a gopro costs like over $500, why would you not take it w

Not only that, but every operation would cost fees, right? Good luck convincing people that every time they logging into their account or literally do any action will cost them some fees. Refreshed the page? Oops that'll cost ya!

by ehsankia 5y ago
An interesting quote I heard was something along the lines of: any action you take that doesn't cost fees on your wallet is probably not actually running on web3. A lot of stuff you see is just pretending to be web3 but not actually de

That's more or less what the GP said. "If the technology is good" applies both to how well it works, but also how useful it is. Neither of those has a good answer yet. But the best way to see it being useful is to actually cr

Indeed, I was very impressed by the extensive configuration options, and of course ability to export/import them.

It's fine to mistrust them, I also generally stay away from UPlay, but I still don't like taking accusations like this as facts without more evidence. And if it is indeed true that the person did buy games on that account, there w
