Just put an email into the wait-list box. It doesn't check. I guess it's a new dark pattern faking exclusivity.

Isn't this sort of like saying that Shakespeare's works are bad because they're full of clichés?? The game in question is the _origin_ of said memes.

I cannot recommend Outer Wilds enough. It is a game-defining game. There's a little caution in the recommendation: some people complain a bit about the controls (they're a bit realistic and therefore unforgiving), and it's pl

It's more standard (in the sense that the Sun keyboard did this) and more useful to map it to ctrl. You can use ^[ to get esc.

Decibels are only ever a relative measurement on a logarithmic scale. In this case, we aren't even talking about sound (these are dB of power), but this is true independent of base unit. For sound, to represent silence, you actually ne

Which makes it not chess; i.e. not fit for purpose. And this omission is more on the scale of missing castling than en passant. Some people who futz with two or so moves will think it's "fine" but it's missing something

No it does not. It uses a heuristic at every layer of the tree. Specifically, instead of recursing down each subtree, it chooses the set with the maximum number of remaining elements, which isn't necessarily the set that is most diffic

It's designed to be, but it isn't necessarily, as it uses the size of the remaining solution set as a heuristic for how many guesses are needed to split it. There are better, more exhaustive searches of the solution space now.

How in the world is this faster than ctrl-i? It's the same number of keystrokes and _ is further away than i. If you're annoyed about how far Ctrl is, maybe you should have the key left of 'a' bound to it. Also you don&#
