This isn't miscellaneous characters added for visual effect, it's the title of the work written in two languages. (The katakana isn't stylistic, by the way - it's standard Japanese, apart from how it's positioned.)

Great photos, but maybe a reminder to take care when using foreign characters in one's designs. The Japanese in the top logo splits "noir" into two words, with the effect that a typical reader can guess what's intended b

Don't get me wrong, the question of whether this or that game is better with or without win conditions is perfectly interesting. It's just the raw "is it a game or not?" that's not useful. It's like asking whet

Not unfortunate at all; arguing definitions is rarely useful or interesting, and "game" has dozens of worthy contenders that disagree with GP and with the article you read. E g.: Sid Meier's famous definition: "a series

I don't have any studies to link but at some point I read up on this and reached the same conclusion. The "discoverer" wrote a popular book about it that apparently caught the public imagination, but IIRC it was based on a sm

It's not a random selection of stories, it's a list compiled by someone who used to work at Twitter, and presumably hit up friends and colleagues for stories. In general, best not to draw inferences from data that wasn't rand

That's possible , sure, but the evidence here doesn't support that conclusion any more than it supports the reverse. When you have a small group of things that clearly weren't chosen at random, the safe bet is that they don&

The obvious explanation would be that the maintainer (who used to work there) hit up colleagues for stories, or because it circulated among Twitter employees for whatever other reason. It's not very likely to imply anything about Twitt

There are a lot of variables, but one thing to keep in mind is that when people switch from $language to English, a subset of them may simply see the conversation as their chance to practice English (rather than as your chance to practice $

by fenomas 8y ago
I think you're over-parsing this. The document you linked is basically an apology - the guy's saying "if you came to this repo looking for the code for that talk I gave, it's not here, and sorry about that, and here&#x27
947.
by fenomas 8y ago
The author is saying those things about his own talks, not generally of everyone. Unless you're trying to claim they are never true in any case, I don't think there's anything to disagree about here.

If this is a system that groks the meaning of the input text and constructs original text to match, then sure, it could just use non-gendered language. But that seems unlikely - we're probably talking about an engine that just recommen

You can define iHittable and get the code to compile, but it doesn't make the actual issue (polymorphism) any easier to tackle. I think eschewing inheritance in favor of aspects is definitely the way to go. (Of course, you can wrap eve

Groping is certainly an issue in Japan, but much less so than in the past. MOJ stats show around 8K cases/year in the sixties and seventies, with that dropping to ~1.5K by 1990 and ~1K in recent years. (Anecdotally it's probably d

I was at Adobe in those days and the Flash PMs I worked with would have absolutely loved to open source the player. AFAIK the problem is large amounts of licensed third-party code throughout the codebase.

I'm confused. Doesn't the operation described in those answers just rename each node's properties, but leave the topology of the data structure unchanged? Meaning one could just have the code accessing the tree swap which nam
