It certainly wasn't my intent to trash the whole thing, so I'm sorry it came across that way. They've done well. They combined a whole bunch of techniques in a new way, or at least in a better way than we've seen before.

What can you even say about this stuff? It's another incremental improvement, good job Mark. These new video clips of yours are certainly something. I don't know how you do it. Round of applause for Mark! I will now review some of

I'm not sure if I'm missing something (perhaps the joke, as it were) but the Calvin & Hobbes strip seems to be entirely about having a sense of humour, rather than a theory of comedy .

An attempt to avoid unnecessary harm, I'd guess. To see what they do? Because it will be more damning if they ignore something significant they had explained to them?

You're misusing probability and ignoring critical information. There's 1000 red marbles added to a jar with 8000 blue marbles (9000 total). Take three marbles from the jar randomly, one at a time. The odds of getting three red mar

Apologies but I could only think of a trade-on. Haxe makes it really easy to get started and get a feel for things, just have a go! I found the opposite with Typescript, where it seemed like I had to already be a javascript developer to use
