I think the usefulness of syntax highlighting is highly dependent on the amount of colors you use. For me, anything more than three separate colors is just visually distracting. It's also nice to have low opacity comments, as many othe

I think an important point was brought up by the Google engineer in the beginning of the game: Humans usually consider moves that put them ahead by a greater margin and base their strategies on that, while computers don't have that bia

According to your last link, they actually began building a second dam further downstream in the 90s: > A second structure, the Badush dam, was started 20km downstream, to prevent a catastrophe in the event of the Mosul dam’s failure. Bu

You can use a Jekyll-based blog for that. The cool thing about this is the ability to comment on posts without having to add Disqus or similar services.
