I am not exactly knowledgeable about airplane safety, but I feel like safety checklists are something that could be, and probably are, handled by a machine more efficiently? I would guess that there are probably enough things on there that

I am "camp Haskell", so my approach was pretty much data-driven. But what is a state machine if not a big nest of if-else statements? :-)

I actually played Splendor for the first (three) time(s) some time ago and honestly didn't really like it. It's a very simple game, true. I feel like there are not many decision points for me as a player and therefore there is not

Honestly that probably won't be too interesting as (a) one AI could perfectly control several agents (ie perfect coordination of global strategies) and (b) an AI has low to no reaction times and perfect aim (aimbots already have that)

I'll look into that.

I tried my hand once or twice at (re-)implementing board games [0], so that I could run some common "AI" algorithms on the game trees. What tripped me up every time is that most board games have a lot of "if this happens, the

Ah ... I could have known that ... some of the Haskell enthusiasts around here actually moved on to Elixir some time ago.

Its a compromise between replayability and the feeling of achievement that you get from a long running campaign game. I feel like those are on opposing ends of a spectrum: one the one end you have games like chess, go or even Magic the Gath

Somewhat tangential: but I love the LiquidHaskell demos, mostly because they show what would be possible if our tools would just be a tiny bit smarter. Example: 1. Goto here: http://goto.ucsd.edu:8090/index.html#?demo=O

I had to look that up ... is that Euphoria ? As stated above, I think that how the code is structured also heavily influences readability. Maybe even more than syntax highlighting. Case in point: I was fortunate enough to work on a Haskell

At least for machine screws I buy Torx is easily twice the price of regular socket head screws: [100 'old-school' M3x5 screws]( https://www.screwsandmore.de/de/sortiment/schrauben-und-bolz... ) [50 Torx M3

Good point. Here's the same image desaturated: https://i.imgur.com/jBCZGEO.png (GIMP -> Desaturate -> Luminance) I feel like it does not really lose anything in grayscale. Bonus: On a eInk display black on white

You might be surprised how far contrast (and cursive, bold, etc) can get you. Eg: https://github.com/fxn/vim-monochrome edit: Also, and probably a lot more controversial, code structure matters a lot. No syntax highlig

Funny thing: a friend of mine lives in rural Bavaria, with a very old, conservative land-lady. The kind that will call you once you exceed your lawful one hour of instrument practice time per day. Still, she allowed rehearsals in the backya

I don't think this would change a lot, you would probably raise big sites (Pinterest, Facebook) a lot higher in the rankings as the 99% non-programmers would vouch for them. You could counter that somewhat by having a "people who

I am pretty sure that it once was advertised as being usable as salad seasoning, but apparently that use case has dropped of the list at some point?

Sounds reasonable ... I've been to some pre-WW2 city houses where the toilet and shower were directly next to the kitchen. Just running one set of pipes sounds like a good explanation for that.

It's somewhat common among truck drivers in Germany to flash the turn signals left-right-left-right to say "thank you" after overtaking (another truck).

That's basically the whole genre of Eurogames where there is very little actual player interaction for most of the session, isn't it?

Similar experience here, I bought a aluminum one (knockoff I think) when I moved out from my parents, used that throughout higher education and just recently, almost 20 years later "upgraded" to a genuine Bialetti one. But I somew

Not entirely sure what you are getting at, I am guessing "10 ms latency is good enough for audio"? Plus "normally we are so far away from the speaker that it does not really make a difference"? That figure is thrown arou
