I just started learning how to sail, and while trying to memorize all the new terminology I was wishing for an interactive way to play out the basic processes short of being on an actual boat. All of the games I found online were far too re

Interesting that the proofs seem to use a limited vocabulary: https://github.com/aw31/openai-imo-2025-proofs/blob/main/pro... Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick :) Also worth pointing out

This feels like a sort of granular MPAA/content rating but instead of movies it is for mobile games. Of course that is very valuable, and knowing that a particular game has certain attributes could help someone avoid it before they com

Nice, pretty cool stuff. In high-school I worked on something similar ( https://github.com/rafket/pam_duress ), though this seems to have a somewhat cleaner implementation which is nice to see, and hopefully a more eager

I am working on a Firefox extension for search aggregation. It currently works with DuckDuckGo, Wikipedia, Stack Overflow, Reddit, and others. The idea is that for 80% of my searches I can find the answer on Wikipedia or Stack Overflow, rem

I originally read Thermomechanical as Thermonuclear, and thought that this was related to the recent r/ShowerThoughts post [1]. I guess we could use this simulation to answer that question more convincingly :) I'm glad I misread a

I don't really get how this works. Since it is completely offline, what's stopping someone from paying some amount, but not subtracting it from their account? I guess each party could sync the transactions when they get back onlin

What prior knowledge does your student have? In my experience, what helped me the most when starting to learn how to code was having a motivating problem that I wanted to solve. Why do I care what a for-loop is if I can't see how it is

I've played around a bit with geometric algebra in the past year, and I have to say that by far the best resource (albeit a bit short) was Ben Lynn's implementation in Haskell [0]. Unfortunately there isn't a well-written sou

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the "standard" [1] treap with split/merge (which is somewhat acknowledged in the footnote of page 8), simply with a different distribution of priorities? The result is certain

I agree with your argument, but I don't think that people are calling Google evil because they retired some products. See [0], which was resolved (I think, though I can't find a source for that) due to the fact that Google is comp

Well there's SailfishOs, which just got officially ported to Xperia X. I own a Jolla phone, which was the first to run this OS. It is open source, and I have to say quite hackable, even though I haven't tried to make any apps. So

Tangentially relevant, I made a pam authentication module for Linux a while ago, that addresses this issue. It allows for the creation of duress passwords. Here is the repository: https://github.com/rafket/pam_duress
