Next somebody will say they need to be weighted according to song-length because the concertos of Vivaldi are much longer than a pop-song. Of course, ultimately, every playthrough must be tracked down to the second. Let the law of large num

But only if you move multiple cells in one turn. If movement is restricted to one cell each turn, your field distorts. The same happens when you split your movements: For example: player A moves 6 each turn; player B moves 2 thrice in a tur

On the other hand, for movement along the 8 directions the distance is 41% short, for movement along the 4 main directions, the taxicab distance is 41% longer than the actual distance. For a hexagonal grid, the distance is approximated by c

Assuming pi is normal, the odds are 59.3% for any run of 5. The odds of two specific runs of 5 in 100,000 digits is (rough guess) between 3.5% and 10%.

Since Haskell is lazy you can feed final list to its construction (like the prime sieve examples). Combination in a single-pass is optimisable by loop-fusion. Though optimisations are famous for 'flaking out' at the worst moment.

Because of non-functional properties of programming code. Of course the archetype of a Collector can be used as a backing data structure. But maybe, if you want an accumulator you're better of calculating the sum without constructing a

Then you need at most 12 registers for a one-bit adder.

Google literally has the keys to a kingdom. Should Google's box ever be opened, countries will burn. Let's face it, the definition of a monopoly is insufficient on a global scale. Merely restricting their own sign-in service impac

Isn't there a big difference between a child that still has to learn basic skills such as cooking and an adult that was taught this. One person compared to a couple?

This depends on whether the GPL includes (part of) the html-code distributed by the website (seems not, this is the domain of AGPL). GPL is widely known to be insidious. Using 'force' was perhaps too strong.

Surely there exists better terms than an explicit blacklist. I see this as a social weakness in GPL and other open source. GPL wanted to restrict people from profiting without contributing back. Now they profit and attack other projects. Wh

Licensing is already a big mess. And it is not about revenge. It is about enforcing the spirit of those open source licenses. WordPress uses GPL to force users to contribute to open source. Do you think the RIAA contributes? Instead they ac

OSS developers as a whole can fight back by lobbying projects to add license exceptions against certain corporations. Viewing riaa.com, let's start with jQuery, WordPress and bootstrap.

No, no. If they figure it out, you send THEM a DMCA notice for circumventing encryption to gain access to copyrighted content. Of course, you write your license (unencrypted) as open source except for specific companies. Edit: On second tho

I think a better analogy is: Handing someone a key to unlock a door to watch an artwork and then taking the (a copy of, a photo of) artwork with you. You can see the Mona Lisa but you cannot take a photo of the Mona Lisa without previous co
