   This is delightful fun, but suffers a bit from Mystery Meat Navigation ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystery_meat_navigation#Iconog... ) The pencil and eraser I get, and I thought one of the controls was Undo, but that

   It works just fine with one; see the link from the post to the technical analysis.

   I completely disagree; it's easy to imagine someone in the first few days of the game's availability deciding for fun that instead of beating the first level, they were going to see how long they could keep it going. At that point

   That’s not necessarily the date it was published on the web. It looks to me like it was pasted there from Usenet or a mailing list.

   Step one is to have Product/Sales define an SLO for support ticket resolution (and for all your key services, if you haven't already). Give more sprint time to whatever's falling behind. If both are falling behind, you need t

   Even more intuitive: What's the first positive real number? If you can't tell me that, or even be sure that it even exists, how can you be sure you can identify the first item in any set?

   I think you mispasted that first one.

   I like how they’re not Luddites but evaluate every new trend and piece of technology through a lens of, “Can it improve / maintain the quality of the old stuff?” and only if so, examine questions of efficiency and cost savings.

    Spider and Web, https://eblong.com/zarf/zweb/tangle/ Without giving anything away: It does something brilliant that wouldn't be possible in any other storytelling medium.

    Unfaithful to Space Invaders. You should be able to shoot their bullets out of the sky and if any of the hamsters touch the ground it should be Game Over and when only one is left it should move at crazy speeds all over the screen like a yo

    Sounds like the crux is that 2(x^2) = y^2 can never be true for any integers x and y because any square of an integer must have an even number of 2's in its prime factorialization, and any doubled square of an integer must have an odd

    It's an ironic anti-aptonym that someone named "Les Earnest" was exceptionally truthful when filling out his security clearance.

    > and the left size has an odd number of factors of 2 and the right side has an even number of factors of 2, a contradiction. Can you explain this step further?

    I understand how going through a portal (let's say an un-knot to keep it simple) and then back through it in the opposite direction takes you back where you came from; it's like passing a piece of string through a ring and then ba

    Why didn't they use traditional armored cars when they were still using tokens? I don't understand why 2006 was a milestone in that regard.

    I skimmed around that three-hour video and couldn't find the part you're referring to. Could I maybe get a two-sentence summary?

    Zork co-creator Marc Blank worked at Google for many years, but left about a decade ago. It's a shame he's not at the company for this project.

    The article seems to say the front wheels bulb out to hold stuff, but why do the back wheels go the other way?

    Yeah, I don’t understand why doubling the same size would compensate for instructing half the group to lie.

    The shader characters (B0-B2) on the DOS font page don’t match up between the ASCII table and the example section below. B1 is supposed to be a checkerboard, and B0 and B2 are supposed to be inversions of each other.

    I can't figure out the instructions as written, either the simple or "really detailed" ones. Like, I just rolled 4, 6, 1, and 2. I'm presented with the options: 3, 5 and 8, 6, 7, or 10. Why can I do 5 & 8 but not, sa
