At this point, is it still worth it to post these manually? Checking all post submissions, keeping only the ones with sufficient engagement, and a little summary line "7 other submissions ignored, the oldest dating from Oct 2018"

I haven't laughed like this in a very long time, very well done. Looking at the cellular automatons video, I felt it captures the early sense of wonder learning about math and programming. But also, the despair in what problems are act

Even if you were a doctor, making a diagnosis upon reading a post is not good practice. It is easy to find subjects who did nothing else but the suspected activity develop RSI, so it is a weird claim to suspect it might not exist. For compu

To complete cableshaft's great answer, there is Chris Crawford "on Game Design" that also has a lot of game ideas and particular game mechanics, a very interesting read.

I was wondering about that. It's using texlive-full, which requires several gigabytes to install and is, for me at least, always the longest step when setting up a new (Linux) computer. It can also make sure to have reproducible builds

Interesting concept! I thought it would be possible to draw something by sticking to looping curves, but their velocity depend on their size, and the different parts diverge as if part of a cellular automaton. There must be a way to exploit

Beautiful project! Even if that didn't have a big direct impact, it matters that the records exist so that historians with a deep, genuine interest can access them. Even on subjects that are more recent than that, reading documents fro

I have absolutely no idea how many people might share print screens of their code, and how often some beast looking at these images might, because of that, find a way to discover how to type a similar looking symbol in unicode, enter it in

So if I follow well, the interest is in having all different types of 'blocking stages' in the pipeline so that you can identify the points that slow down your process. With the right tool, and provided the tasks are accurately tr

Nothing shows this is "the end of copyright as we know it". What is shown is that in 99% of cases AI-generated content cannot be captured under copyright law. However, that is a problem for the different industries because that m

In KDE Plasma, a window manager, you can configure "focus stealing prevention", as well as activation and raising of windows to be on click or on hover in a fairly precise way. Still that is fairly far from the OS layer. Microsoft

Right, I remember the issue... which I think got you to do the proper setup of the Krita foundation to avoid any similar issue (which may have been quite some work and accountant fees). Thank you for your work, by the way. Krita is one of t

As a counterpoint, some years ago I felt it was time to use "a real painting program" and switch to Photoshop. It felt so backwards, mostly in terms of interface, that I dropped the idea very fast. There are a few shortcuts that I

Here you have two predicates on words P: Sigma* -> N and T: Sigma* -> N. The question is give a list of words w such that for all w, P(w) and T(w) are both true. It has access to the correct values for P(w) and T(w), so there is a sim

Well I've tried asking for lists of words that satisfy certain simple constraints, like a theme and a given number of syllables. Almost no word satisfied the constraint, despite my many tries. So if you can have a conversation that goe

It would seem it's actively in their interests to have the most of their customers forget. First, these companies do serve very derivative content, that wouldn't be remotely interesting when compared to their inspirations. The com

I think it's safe to say GP has an opinion of what a "tin foil hat nutter" is, which is reasonable with regards to documented reality. However, there are a number of people who poison the well with absurd claims such as &quot

So from mathematical logic we know that if you take a simple statement you can have a formal statement equivalent to it[0]. For example, 'not all frogs are green', or 'quadrupeds are four-legged animals'. For the logical
