I wonder how much easier it would be if you narrow down the likely set of pieces for each square. There are obviously some positions for some pieces that are invalid (bishop on the wrong colored square), but there are probably a lot of othe

Where is "one" then, if it's still "there"? :P

That's really interesting! I'm probably just using my lack of visual imagination as a cop out. Do you have any examples of resources for constructing such a "memory palace"?

Oh wow, I didn't know that was a thing but that describes me perfectly. I can sort of picture faces to some extent, but trying to visualize a house or a scene is almost impossible to me. I find it frustrating when trying to think of a

"Hacker" and "hacking" at MIT have a couple of meanings, neither of which specifically means trying to "hack" into a system. "Hacking" either means 1) Working hard on a problem set or other project or

"the Iceberg Hit" is a gerund phrase -- a phrase derived from a verb but acting in as a noun. It's like saying "We went to the charity run". "Charity run" is acting as a noun.

Just a heads up, most Body Fortress protein powders that I've seen are actually 60g per 2 scoops, not per scoop. Their marketing on the front is super misleading.

Hopefully "semantically meaningful" is pretty self-explanatory, it just means using HTML elements in an organized and structured way (like not using a span when you should use a paragraph). "Accessible" means usable by s

Did Lyft claim that the 250k ditched their cars _because_ of ride sharing apps? I didn't see any causality implied in the article, just the number. It's like saying 250k Lyft customers quit smoking last year, it's just a stat

I look at it as mainly improving the child's vocabulary with some very niche words that they probably wouldn't learn on their own. Then, some day, they'll run into that word in context and they'll be able to understand t

How did you feel when your brother bought two of your ex-girlfriends? Must have been awkward! Sorry, I'll go back to reddit now...

The character could possibly become drunk immediately after sending the "I am not drunk" message, so you'd need to check if the character was still not drunk after sending the FriendNet messages. But assuming that drunkenness
