Ah yes, a healthier, better educated populace - the historic marker of a society in decline.

Indeed the non spender is in the majority. "Whales" - the term for those spending thousands - although few in numbers, are the ones accounting for most of the profit. https://modelviewculture.com/pieces/the-wh

The last two paragraphs direct how to decode but no fully decoded text is available. An exercise left to the reader I suppose.

I believe those were accounted for in those times with the notion of a stay-at-home spouse (in reality, read: wife) who did most if not all of that non-job work; food purchase/prep, laundry, chores, children, etc.

I sleep on an 'ultra firm' mattress but every now and then I get the urge to spend a night on a hard surface setup similar (though a little thinner with the padding) to yours. No idea if it's good, bad or neutral for my back

Most chess engine opening books weight their branches to pick certain moves x% of the time, and offer 0 or negative value to 'bad moves' never to pick. e.g. 1.e4, d4, c4 and Nf3 will get picked more often than 1. b3, c3, nc3 and f

I will say no. It's tough - maybe impossible - for engines to really accurately simulate lower level play. You usually get one of two outcomes : A) an opponent who plays 10 moves like God and then drops a rook out of thin air or B) ess

I think most programming languages that are decades old aren't looked at as 'not fit for modern problems' so much as 'inefficient for modern* development'. Is it possible to do the same things in C that we can in Ru

Interesting not to see csh/tcsh there. I'm out of the loop when it comes to these things; is it pretty much dead? Did bash 'win'?

I thought it was a slight attempt at humor, e.g. "I ate the one cookie you're never supposed to eat - the last one." but am now curious as well.

The point wasn't about the ubiquity of the feature set in cars but rather the cost of bricking one/crashing one being well beyond what it is for a quadcopter. And the point still stands. The people who are out there with quadcopte

The cost of both entry and failure for hacking on quadcopter vs car is orders of magnitude apart? Unless you know something about the upcoming price of cars that you'd like to share ;).

I'm aware of all that. I'm speaking about the oddity/uniqueness of forcing a stalemate via en passant.

I wonder if either or both players smirked at the end of game 2 as it was stalemate by en passant, which absolutely can't be that common and almost seems a little indulgent. I can only recall one other stalemate in WC play, Korchnoi vs

Controlling the volume wasn't obvious to me at first - or maybe key parts weren't rendering? - so for any others maybe similarly confused, drag the red box to the right of the Volume label left and right.
