I would not call Turing's experiment ill-specified, on the contrary among other factors the paper the game is introduced in earnestly calls for a telepathy-proof room to ensure no …

TL;DR I'm looking for advice regarding browser-based frontend development from people with practical e-ink UI experience. My specific device is a Bigme Hibreak Pro BW but I'm aimin…
