Identifying material on receipt is trivial. There is a handheld scanner that you point at a piece of metal and it will tell you what the metal is, which spec it falls into, and the specific chemical makeup of the material when you pull the

Essentially, what I hear in your statement is "if I can just teach people how I see the world, then they will see the world the same way." I firmly disagree with that assessment. Someone can be educated and yet see things differen

5 X 5 is also really fun. It's the queen side basically, with a row of pawns in front. So there's only one row of open spaces between the two sides. It really stretches my brain to play it, but has helped me get better at calculat

Excel has a top-to-bottom, left-to-right calculation order of cells, which can mess things up if you aren't careful. How does your engine handle calc execution order?
