I love how much English writing has changed since then. You'd never say "in such a way that" or "so fitted" or "every seventh conductor being connected". The entire prose style can change but the joke can

That's a nice property, but it seems like only a marginal benefit to Axie? Something like, players are more likely to invest money and energy into the game if there's some chance their assets' value will outlive Axie, thus sl

On a+b. I'm suggesting it simply copies all the non-aggregate select pieces to the group by clause. If I want to group on a and b, I could either select them too or add them to the group by (I'm imagining something like "GROU

You can build a marketplace without crypto, though. The question is why crypto is an important enabling feature. E.g. would Axie Infinity be as successful if it simply let you buy/sell assets directly? (Putting aside any of the surroun

Thanks. 2 mostly makes sense to me--ownership can be managed independently of the game, and without a bespoke integration with that particular game. I do wonder a little how important being able to turn game assets into general-purpose inst

I remember when I discovered this-- very helpful feature and I am happy it's there (and sad most DBs don't have it). But if I'm grouping I'm almost necessarily not grouping on at least one of the tables' PKs, so it

Some DBs let you do this and it's helpful when one of the things you're selecting is some complex scalar expression, but you still have to list each item in the group by

Why does play2earn require (or is made much easier by) crypto? I'm missing a step in the logic

John McPhee isn't a pretentious writer at all, though, and I encourage you to try him out to test your theory. Getting rid of pedestrian words doesn't require you to replace them with ostentatious words, merely more vibrant, descr

Right, I found Audulus 3 much more intuitive when playing around (I have the iPad app). It was skeuomorphic in the sense that the components were little doodads you connect together, but, yeah, the patching and "space" was much mo

Fair; I get that if we're simulating a physical system and just trying to be as faithful as possible, the virtual one will look just like the physical one, and inherit its limitations. But I guess by "this" I mean "makin

Question for music folks (I've played with modular synths but only in a superficial, toying-around way): is this skeuomorphic paradigm really the best way to do this? With a physical system, running wires everywhere might be the only w

These articles never clearly state what problem they want to solve. Some candidates that seem obliquely implied: - That you personally don't feel motivated to make OSS because of the way it's structured. Of course no one can fault

The dotted line just compounds this. Very strange choice

I have a hard time believing that this isn't at least in part a joke. It's just too on-the-nose. Either that or I have some very sharp questions for some former coworkers.

Dark matter is inferred by the difference in the amount of gravity a galaxy appears to have, and the gravity we'd expect from the mass we observe inside of it. So in this case, the observed gravity is what all the observed mass would p

I don't think OSS is broken either, but I don't get the complaint here. People and companies use things because it's advantageous to them to do so. When you release software that's free (as in beer), people and companies

ESR doesn't get to decide how it works; the revealed preferences of the participants do. And those revealed preferences are that everyone pretty much does what they want, and nobody owes anybody anything. And it seems to have clearly c

That's not quite what's being asked for. I think it's more like super+1 for "move workspace 1 to the current monitor". I haven't quite figured out how to do that in sway, although I'm pretty new with it.

IANAL, but my understanding is that there are different levels of "scrutiny" that can be applied to a statute when analyzing its First Amendment compatibility, and which one is appropriate depends on several factors. Typically a j

I remember reading through some of the judicial rulings on this. IIRC, the logic is that not only is it speech, but the government case for regulating this kind of speech is unusually poor: the function of flashing the lights is to suggest

Ok, sure, but what if it did? The point isn't about the specific building, it's about the depth of inference you can make from calendar alignment

I have! But I don't see the relevance? Also this about the sun, not the stars.

I'm not saying it isn't by design; I'm saying it may not be an essential feature of the building, just one that's easy to see for modern archeologists. > If we do have any such buildings, I'm fairly certain it&#x

Ah, you're right. Their Java solution just defines one Node class and mutates it. Which does mean that the LL nodes' pointers are called "large" and "small"...

I took a quick crack at this [1] and I have a few comments: 1. The double-linking and circularity make the solution uglier and more fiddly without making it really conceptually any harder. In particular, it means you end up mixing recursion

Er, that's a way in which the microchip problem is easier, not harder
