This is addictive but aggravating. I chose Space for the clue Planet and nope bomb card!

I was impressed when we pulled off a victory by GPT correctly connecting Wimbledon to Grass+London the round after it failed to choose London from MI6. Some of its clues are hilari…

This sounds amazing. I wish I had an android so that I could play with this. What I tend to do is look at the Wikipedia page for airports that I hope fly to a certain destination a…

I have played Avalon a few times but never with the Percival mechanic. However I don't think that being "shameless" can be the dominant strategy. If you make it so you must be eith…

Amusingly this can be interpreted as that the vote for which voting system to use uses first-past-the-post so first-past-the-post wins.

>I agree, and I like the size of my smaller house. That said, there are some ways that I think the space could be better utilized... for example, we have 4 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, …

I just bought an old house(1920s) and so have been doing a lot of thinking about how much better the layout of surviving old houses are. 1. Natural lighting. I generally do not nee…

I see. You are right.

I thought of a potential loophole. What about a non-deterministic extractor? Let's say you can make your program smaller by having only a 1% chance of extracting perfectly. Just su…

I had the same tin ear problem. Then I returned to Myst as an adult and I realized that the position on the spaceship slider corresponded to the position of the key on the piano an…

I think every medieval historian thinks that their subject is the root cause of the renaissance. I have read that modern world exists thanks to … the Arabs who preserved Roman lear…

I would pay $2 to $10 per month to remove all adds from youtube. I would not bother with this.

If we had powerful enough telescope that we could see a civilization growing up 1000 light years away we could record it and provide it as a gift for when we finally meet. Or maybe…

Reading the title I immediately thought these set of articles on procedural city generation. It's about the visual appearance of a city but very interesting nonetheless. http://www…

From a developer's standpoint it does matter. Every OS version, hardware version is another platform you have to support and test against. Even on identical hardware with an increm…

This looks really cool. Is there a way to have Node.js tools work with TypeScript?

Technically he should have used a binary search. $1, $2, $4,...$64, $128. $128 is too much then do a binary search between $64 and $128.

Google seems to be the expert in heart-warming commercials. Remember their first super bowl ad? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQ4unnMgiSQ

How robust is the mobile detection? If using the user agent to determine a mobile browser results in many false negatives then not directing from the mobile site version is a good …

The issue with linux containers is (or at least it used to be) that it is possible for a malicious user to 'break out' of the container. Has this problem been solved?

This is good news if you want to be able to purchase movies on the cheap. When a Blockbuster closing a few years ago where I lived they sold off all their movies. I think it got do…

TypeScript was obviously on your mind. The readme states 'Functions in TypeScript can have zero or more arguments in general, just like in Javascript.' You might want to change tha…

I remember you could define an array to be indexed by an enumerated type which was nice. I haven't seen that done elsewhere.

One thing that leaps out at me from the few successful YC applications I've read is some of the informal language used. For instance, I would never write 'Most banks suck at techno…
