Racing cars aren't limited by the driver's G tolerance, I don't think. They generate 4G-ish, from what I hear on the F1 coverage. Well within driver capabilities. Their G is limited by tyres.

Skill related. I'd be interesting to see how quickly driving AIs take to beat the best human drivers, in a weight-equal vehicle. An algorithmic competitor in formula one, would be interesting.

I am still aware of a Python 1.6 codebase in daily mission critical use. That's 'good enough' for them too. Is Python 2 worth the effort? Probably because of the ecosystem. And that will be when everyone transitions to Py3, w

There's a lot of messy use of words in this case. Apple can't circumvent its own encryption (not that we know, anyway, and that hasn't been claimed). The FBI knows that the govt have tools capable of breaking the encryption

I don't see why that follows. If switch is given an integer, the compiler could create a jump table, otherwise it can use an if statement block (or some other kinds of implementation). There's nothing in C++ that says certain st

It's based, I think, on interpreting the evidence of the way we prosecuted recent wars, the money flows spent in waging war, and the overlap of military, industrial and political interests. My understanding differs though. My understan

Verbio and Nounr are a bit old fashioned now. And it's all ultimately the fault of the limited .com namespace.

Critical Role is a fun show, I agree. My only niggle: "larping and d&d is the cool again" - again? Oh, it very much was not cool the first time around!

As someone who's shipped games for direct download, and via steam, as well as in retail boxes (oh for 70% margin!), I can honestly say that I find 30% not in the slightest bit ridiculous. I'd give 99% revenue to a platform if it m

Ugh. This doesn't show the benefits of a baseline grid, but of good interline spacing (leading in print typography jargon). Baseline grids are used in print for multicolumn layout, so you don't get lines that are vertically offs

To what extent do you think the comparison comes from journalists wanting to feel like they are punk? When you're middle aged, middle class, living in wealthy metropolis, you're as near to 'establishment' as you could be

I find it amusing when folks self-describe as 'anti-establishment', particularly journalists writing predominantly stories about journalistic and media trends. Also interesting when articles like this are written by folks touting

Perhaps 'recreational' rather than 'toy' is a better word. :) The analogy with yoga is good, or plenty of programming languages. They make you better as a person, stretch you, widen your knowledge, and expand your mind,

I recommend the commercial game Hexcell (and its sequels) if you want to turn the same logic into a really crafty puzzle.
