Yeah I tried to look up the number of different Lego partszbut it gets hard to define what a Lego part is. And are we counting different colours, different designs printed on them, etc. Somewhere between 5k and 60k.

It's interesting to see it as an answer to the question, how long does it take to turn a well regulated democracy with a powerless head of state into an autocracy.

What is the benefit of all this extra complexity?

Interesting. I'm in Australia where I would also say that the number of second hand bookshops has greatly decreased in the last 20 years. New bookshops too for that matter. But I'm curious whether I'd also be wrong. We don&#x

I don't find Lego especially expensive. And Lego is way more difficult to manufacture, has very exacting functional requirements and extremely good QA.

This is a stupid idea that couldn't possibly work. But it did?

They were quite clear that I wasn't allowed to leave and I wasn't allowed to use my phone. I'm not sure where a debate about semantics would have gotten me.

They used the term detained, but "secondary inspection" would also describe it. I was there maybe 40 minutes.

I like the thought process but seriously people will just travel to other places.

Yep. Last time I went to the US I made a mistake with my visa and was briefly detained. it could totally happen to me again, so I'd need a really good reason to run that risk again.

There is a billboard near me that is advertising a billboard advertising company. They use the slogan "Unmissable. Unblockable. Un[something]able." It makes me irrationally angry. They're rubbing the viewer's face in the

It should show instructions the first time, without prompting. I was just confused for a long time. The icons at the start and end of each row were distracting and confusing.

Yeah, that's definitely interesting - I'm surprised there is so much room for variation considering PostGIS is (if I'm not mistaken) doing most of the work. I couldn't find any description of what test 1, 2, 3 etc actual

The term "serving" is a bit misleading here. Most of the time, vector tile servers are serving pre generated tiles, which is extremely fast. This analysis is about generating tiles on the fly from PostGIS through a custom web serv

But what if they only cheat occasionally? A top player would only need a handful of moves to go from say 3rd in a tournament to winning.

They may have a slightly stronger case for defamation or similar because chess.com said the account was closed for "fair play violation", but still.

Well, statistics would be the only mechanism. If a player was on average playing at level X in one setting, but at a lower level Y in a setting where it was considered impossible to cheat, that's about as good as you can do. But it&#x2

Reminds me many years ago I was playing online poker. The site I was on did this special anniversary giveaway thing. Every million hands or so, there would be a massive (in relative terms) jackpot. If you win the hand, you get the jackpot.

Why? For fan content, using the original characters in new situations, mashups, new styles etc.
