It’s always neat when you think of some historical figure as ancient then see a video of them right in front of you, like history is not as far away as you thought. Similar to how there’s a recording of Johannnes Brahms ( https://

I think your idea is exactly what I would want in a captcha, but an issue with your example is that it would only pertain to English speakers, and it would be difficult to translate it into a variety of different languages to accommodate ev

I disagree. Reading requires my full attention and dedication, while typing becomes almost an almost mechanical process very quickly. With reading, I always find myself moving my eyes back a few sentences because I would think I missed some

This is the craziest thing about copyright law. Maybe it's fair that an author and his family should receive compensation for their work even after their deaths. But Sunrise was released 95 years ago - the odds are that there is nobody

Despite what other people in this thread are saying, I believe the fact that this could occur is a much bigger problem than everyone seems to think. The fact that a company can lock you out of your life with little justification and no oppo

I'm assuming they didn't mean "grep" in a literal sense, rather that it is easier to find keywords like "reinterpret_cast" when scanning your eyes through code, whereas with C-style casts you'd have a much
