The simple solution is just to recognize that the Ready action lets somebody attempt to do a thing, it doesn't mean they automatically succeed. So N people can certainly declare that they all want to pass an object around, for any va

You've missed my point - D&D has many forms, but they all involve a DM , who takes part in the game by making decisions and interpreting rules. TFA isn't that - it's somebody DMing for their own characters, and then call

by fenomas 1y ago
The underlying issue with TFA is that it's a player describing a thing they want to attempt - and then also describing whether the attempt succeeds, and what the precise result is. And that's... not D&D? I mean players could

If one is actually taking this seriously, the simplest ruling would be that peasants need to pass a dex check to handle an object moving at such high speeds.

A quote I like from Wynton Marsalis: "with race in America it's never just black against white. It's always black and white against white."

Thanks for replying - I kind of follow you but I only skimmed the paper. To be clear I was more responding to the replies about cognition, than to what you said about the eval regime. Incidentally I think you might be misreading the paper&#

You missed the substance of my comment. Certainly the title is anthropomorphism - and anthropomorphism is a rhetorical device, not a scientific claim. The reader can understand that TFA means it non-rigorously, because there is no rigorous

"Know" doesn't have any rigorous precisely-defined senses to be used! Asking for it not to be used colloquially is the same as asking for it never to be used at all. I mean - people have been saying stuff like "grep kn

The fact that it meant something else to someone else is, if you look closely, the entire point of the anecdote.

Humorous postscript, btw: two months after Mojang forked my voxel engine, somebody left an anonymous "this is awful, you are a terrible programmer" comment on the engine repo. It's probably a total coincidence, but I like to

Only guessing, but I have a theory that Mojang considered that circa 2017 :D In 2019 they released a web version of minecraft classic, as a quirky marketing thing for the game's anniversary. But what they released turned out to be buil

Totally agree! I know a guy whose main job is basically to be an Excel expert (nominally he works in logistics), and seeing some of his work convinced me that he's actually a programmer who uses excel as an IDE - akin to visual program

Okay, but what signal is added by administering it as a take-home task? (Even moreso if it's a fizzbuzz level task, I'd have thought - actual fizzbuzz being famous as a coding interview task, after all.)

by fenomas 1y ago
Respectfully, you've only answered the thing I pre-replied to in my final paragraph. My question was why the take-home part adds signal?

by fenomas 1y ago
I agree about Kagi, but about your process wanted to ask: do you really feel like having them write the code as a take-home task adds any signal to the process? At my current gig we do a 1-hour pair programming kind of thing, where we video

Not in current chrome, at least for simple cases (like a short function with a single argument). It benchmarks the same with or without the param wrapper.
