What about something taking inspiration from the "roguelike" fad? Some of those intend for runs to take < 1 hour and yet still have interesting choices and variation due to randomization. Seems like a plausible fit for a civ-qu

What's the analogous interpretation of the 'seconds' of a rocket fuel? How long you can burn it for?

It's in like the seventh paragraph of the article - I think people have figured out that they're talking about Echo and Alexa. And the salient point for the sentence (which ends "we should also be critical about where the dat

Technically that doesn't say whether you can keep the goods, just whether you can be made to pay for them.

I have a Capital One card and wanted to use that feature. As far as I could tell, the only way to use it was to install their "assistant" browser extension and give it permission to view everything you do. Then if you were on a

There are "smart" pill bottles for that purpose, that record what time they are opened.

The video in the tweet you link to is explicitly as in the headline: Trump tells people to mail in a ballot and then to go vote in person. He repeats it multiple times and is very clear that the "check" is done by them attempting

I've used this as an example of (non)-vector spaces in a linear algebra class before. Light perception is based off the stimulation of three color cones, so three (positive) values. The light available to us stimulates those cones in c

Relatedly, the fact that light is reversible (behaves the same forward in time/direction as backwards) means you can swap the light source and camera of an image (if just one point lightsource). I.e. you can render the scene from the p

As someone running their monitor over HDMI, this is news to me. If it gives the resolution and framerate of the monitor, what's the difference if it's HDMI or DisplayPort?

That's the part that's "weird" in the sense of being very different from the similarly-named concept in classical mechanics of velocity vector magnitude. But moreover, the rest mass isn't the issue here. Momentum in

I assume that the Epic supporters rather are hoping to get Apple to reduce the 30% on all transactions (or on all transactions of some type), not just to get Epic to be a special case. I'm not sure they have a case, but I think you&#x2

Even back "in the day" the routes weren't actually following those lines. Here's a neat animation of the routes many ships took (from their logbooks) starting in the 1750's: http://sappingattention.blogsp

Looks like we have some terminology confusion. I read mijamo's question as being about the theoretical ability to evaluate at compile time (the value is knowable) not whether the compiler does do it, and that's what I meant in my

But a const fn can also do that: if given non-constant parameters it will be evaluated at run-time. So I (having never used Rust before) still haven't see the distinction between pure and const. What's an example of a function tha

But L/2 should be the sampling interval , which is fixed at 1 pixel. For example, a signal with a wavelength of 1 pixel (or 1/2 pixel) would be identical to a constant signal.

No that's a reversed-R which happens to look identical like a Cyrillic letter. I don't think that's a problem any more than getting confused and trying to pronounce a circle in a logo as an "o". In contrast, the tex
