   I forget, was it Alpha or one of the others (Leela, Kata, FineArt,...) which had a weakness against... I wanna say the Micro Chinese (?), where it would consistently play the same suboptimal sequence that let players beat it easily if they

   My test is simple: does it have a monospace variant and does it support Japanese? If not, then it's worse than IBM Plex.

   For every professional YouTube person and professional video game player there are thousands upon thousands of aspirants who don't get lucky and who can't support themselves that way. It's like game development: Notch got luc

   Odd that this shows up on HN now, when I just started watching Karl's videos this past winter. It's a small internet. Anyhow, I wonder how much the degraded components would affect Donkey Kong and whether similar degradation could

   Bluebeard is a fairy tale about a lass who marries a guy called Bluebeard and he gives her the keys to his house and tells her not to go into one specific room and that room contains the bodies of his former wives. I might be misremembering

   Working with SIMD. May not take 100 hours, but I'm embarrassed to say I haven't sat myself down to learn it yet.

   I actually don't know, I was just making a joke about the dearth of applications on UT. I'd expect it to have Snap-type sandboxing, but the Security and Privacy section of the settings app doesn't tell me much.

    Wow, so which license are you using which is compatible with all licenses used on GitHub?

    Because people don't know OpenSUSE and Mageia exist.

    5 days a week for 32 weeks a year means 160 days per year, for 640 weeks total. That's like 3 and 1/8th page per day.

    Ah, Fallout 4, the only game I ever got a Steam refund for. Bethesda writing is so bad it's hard to believe their writers are actually literate.

    Yeah, I can see how people may not like the new additions, Beamdog's writing team isn't quite the same as the original. Funny thing though: the way you started your message is how I feel about Larian.

    Yeah, Pathfinder Kingmaker and Wrath are great. I also really enjoyed Pillars of Eternity 1 and 2 (I especially liked 2, I believe others preferred 1), Tyranny, and Hare Brained Schemes' Shadowrun series (Returns, Dragonfall, and my fa

    Fallout 3 was very successful. If selling many copies is the yardstick you measure quality by, it may well have been one of the greatest CRPGs of all time. By other metrics it may fall a bit lower down the ranks. For example, the writing is

    Losing good habits and forming bad ones is easier than losing bad habits and forming good ones, so I am very polite when I interact with AI. Wouldn't want to slip up and be impolite when chatting with normal humans.

    Using an array as a heap is also easier with 1-based indexing: base-element := some-vector[i]; left-child := some-vector[i * 2]; right-child := some-vector[i * 2 + 1]; where the root element is ` some-vector[1] '.

    Unfortunately software has gotten so much worse that hardware improvements simply can't keep up. That's also why Linux doesn't enable certain mitigations by default.

    But on the other hand, last := vector[vector-length(vector)]; is nicer than last := vector[vector-length(vector) - 1]; so in the end I'd say 'de gustibus non est disputandum' and people who prefer 0-based indexi

    Would be nice if you could filter based on license. I really want to avoid non-(A)GPL tools where possible.

    The only use for a late slip is to prove to someone (doesn't necessarily have to be an employer) that you were late due to no fault of your own.

    We should probably define what 'AAA' means, because Capcom has been hitting it out of the park pretty consistently as of late. The REmakes, Monster Hunter World and sequels, Devil May Cry 5,...

    A language which can be either interpreted or compiled doesn't exist? Nobody tell the Common Lispers, they'd vanish in a puff of logic.

    Is there such a boundary? How do you know a function doesn't call unsafe code without looking at every function called in it, and every function those functions call, and so on? The usual retort to these questions is 'well, the st
