The accuracy cost is trivial as well, it's a trade-off. I'm pretty sure the implementers were fully aware that regex can't properly handle every case and decided not to care.

I wouldn't call an accuracy-performance tradeoff a bug, rather a design decision

Adding insult to injury, it seems pretty easy to write a quick image filter + path finding algo to solve these... as apparently all the walls have solid borders, while none of the walkable paths have them. So a targeted bot should have a mu

Mirror flips front and back actually. You are facing north towards the mirror. Point south, reflection points south. Point up, reflection points up. Point north, reflection poins south. Left/right flips because it is calculated relativ

Amazing idea, really I'm impressed. This intrigued me at first glance as a fun typing exercise, as I've always struggled with typing - I started using computers way before they started teaching typing around here, so my typing is

While not NP complete, reverting a hash function is in NP( ), so it is very much affected if P=NP. ( ) Ok obviously it can't be in NP as it's not a decision problem, but asking "is there a preimage starting with 1, with 1A, e

Yes he did, in two parts: easy non-brute-force ways exist (as in the Monte-Carlo integration in R, he argues why it isn't brute force) and also a non-easy analytical solution exists (when at least one set of parameters are integer, in

They are, and I guess most people are too, unconsciously. That's why not winning while having a predicted 71% chance somehow becomes such a big thing. You hear "election" and "71%" in the same sentence and you immed

We are really arguing unimportant semantics here but I don't agree with you, when you say 50% of the population, you are saying 0.5 of the population or 0.5 of 100M. The 50% always represents 0.5 when used correctly, in fact the % sign

While percentages are denoted as numbers between 0-100, they actually represent numbers between 0-1. Though you can have things like 120% so it's not perfect.

There's a general sentiment that all dogs are innocent at heart. If the dog has bad or mean behavior, that's the consequence of its bad experiences, like being outcast as a stray, bad owners, having been hurt before, etc. You can
