Yeah this seems to be pretty sketchy, which is disappointing because I've been looking for an alternative to nitter since it went down. It's a shame that a lot of the content creators I follow use twitter to post updates and sched

Interestingly enough, CB wasn't DMCAed by Mojang, but actually from one of its contributors, who was angry that he had been contributing free labor to a project that was secretly owned by Mojang (there was no CLA so he was legally able

Pterodactyl is a commonly used one as the other comments say, but just to give some background, Pterodactyl itself, rather than being a minecraft server hosting software, is actually a generic server hosting software that can be used pretty

Why did the plane go all the way to LAX rather than landing back at SFO? It clearly seemed to be considered serious since there were emergency vehicles by the runway as a precaution. Is it easier to divert to LAX rather than land back at SF

I did seriously consider charging back, but considering it would probably get me banned from taking further tests and a couple grad schools I was applying to wanted the scores, I didn't pursue it. I mentioned it in a few other replies,

You're right. I misremembered. I went back to check the reports. I ended up with a perfect score in math (which is only 96th according to the score report and 1 point off on the reading section, which was 99th. I only brought up the sc

Ah, I misread the article. I completely missed the line mentioning that the test was still inperson, and thought that the "bring your own device" thing implied remote testing. I'm glad it's still an in-person proctored e

I don't think anyone in their right mind brags about GRE scores, and I'm sorry it came off that way. I mentioned it solely because as other comments said, I have no reason to cheat.

I agree. The otherwise decent writing and interesting topic for the rest of the article was ruined by the breathless journalism hypewords at the beginning, and the insistent negative intonation throughout. I especially didn't like how

I wonder if there would be a way to train Stockfish to be better at playing with odds. I do not know much about chess, but I doubt the AI was trained on how to play openings when starting at a disadvantage, so maybe one could see a vast imp
