It's like a game of cookie clicker. Once you get all the cookies, you ascend and start clicking again.

Not as permanent, but my dad says he notices that clients listen to his suggestions to update 10-year-old network equipment a lot more readily when he dyes the gray out of his hair. He first did it for a high school class reunion, and has k

This gave me a good laugh. Great project.

That's starting to get into paralinguistic territory. Sneeze sounds, for example, are learned to a degree (think some people sneezing very quietly or very loudly), and can be relearned even though they are involuntary in their timing,

There are very few words that exist across all languages. In Mandarin, for example, there are no words that map well to "yes" and "no" in English. Words like colors rarely have precise equivalents between language famili

But it's trivially easy to do, and the venue knows that not doing it is a violation of contract. A violation of contract could cost them the whole show, so there's no reason not to do it.

I love the idea but I'd love to see someone implement this and then show performance and memory comparisons to trees and normal arrays.

I think one of the main problems with Android is how _varied_ different versions are. When I pick up anyone's iPhone I find it equally easy to do everything. Even when I had an Android, picking up anyone else's phone and trying to

The road trip one is more common to flag for fraud; if you leave your card at a gas station accidentally, someone may else may pick it up and make a few minor purchases. It happened to me when I used my credit card to fill up two cars - min

I second your recommendation of Crafting Interpreters. Not only is it free, but it's an excellent way to learn tokenization, parsing, and tree walking, it's a lot of fun to read.

I'm right next to people but can't see or hear them? Is there something else I need to do? Edit: I got it. My roommate's browser was not working for it in general.

You could switch the order they're compared and due to short-circuiting the second eval would only ever take place once. Or initialize min to the zeroth item in the array.

A common favorite of Theatre artists is Rosco's RS0211 "Bastard Amber". "Bastard" colors are colors that have undertones of their complement.

I live in a religious county in Iowa, and while all the churches have stopped meeting, some people have expressed concerns that the forbidding of congregation is a violation of religious freedom. Nobody is violating it though.

These guys behave just like the implementation I wrote! I worked out how to do separation, cohesion, and alignment based on written descriptions as an exercise.

First thing I thought of, too. There were lots of things you could do that would make the game unwinnable. Like in the first one, leaving a gate open would allow a goat to wander off and you needed the goat later. In another one, you there

Thanks for the explanation and the link! I'd imagine it would make shading a little more computationally quick, now that you mention separating color from brightness.

The color space is probably one of the stranger things I've seen. I wonder what led the designers to choose that scheme. I'd love to see the design considerations for this whole system.

I think you're right, and that economic damage is something I think too many people are worried about. I've seen a lot of business magazines more worried about the dow-jones than the number of people who could die.

Some of the linked examples are incredible. It always astounds me how much order and can come from a few simple rules.

No doubt they have some of the best software out there (not all of it, mind you) - Excel is a marvel. I think where a lot of us get wary is _how_ Microsoft sells their software. They're more than happy to charge you money every year wh

I watched this live with a friend. We had previously watched a couple of failures, and were almost expecting that one to fail as well. We went out of our minds when the smoke cleared and the booster was upright. It does feel annoying when r

I relate to the sentiments of this article. Smallness is a commodity we programmers forget the value of too frequently. After reading the article the other week about the person who had their entire life managed in a single text file, I fel

The telescope ran out of coolant in 2009, but it continued operating for quite a long time after that. The article says that one of the biggest concerns is the difficulty of communicating with it, as it falls further from Earth in its Earth

I have been interested in an OS that would better implement virtualization and containers better, "closer to the hardware." I know most users aren't terribly interested in that sort of thing, but I think a lot of hacker-types
