VALVe themselves have game IPs they want to protect. Within the boundary of "it's legal, wygd" there are always ways to make pirating VALVe games easier and VALVe will stand no gro…

If the situation is that bad and cheating is that easy, soon there will be researchers cheating all the way to Elo 2000, just like there are researchers submitting garbage papers t…

Search for "admitted" and it is on page 2.

It probably inherits the name from other languages that get it wrong.

For the hyperbolic version area is the correct counterpart of arc-length. See the wikipedia for a picture. So only "ar-" and "a-" make sense. Blindly using "arc-" is like saying no…

I (and I assume many do) buy flight tickets with a credit card so at least one bank knows you are traveling. Never have I had any problem when traveling. But there is one time I wa…

Despite all the good contents, calling the inverse function of hyperbolic tangent "arctanh" just makes no sense.

> rely on imported components This doesn't matter. You buy wheat at $100 and sell breads at $250. You net $150 and convert that to, say, €150.

Maths don't scale up. Moore's Law will catch up and eventually rendering math will be like rendering jpg. For now the priority is to get things to work so we don't waste extra time…

After ten years of "we are getting to the last mile" and "we are finally completing", it just feels like bio people cannot give up this good reason when justifying their funding so…

You are designing a "prefix code". It is a collection of strings of button presses such as {A, BA, BBAA, BBABA, BBB, ...}. Each string maps to an action. Ideally no string is a pre…

Scooter has an even smaller wheel and is more unstable during high speed. Also bike is more muscle-efficient.

You get to choose between out-sourcing the liability or naked-running. You can even linearly-interpolate between the two extremes. In case of banking, you already payed the hidden …

I guess I know why the parent is downvoted but in the end the responsibility is on both sides. If you don't speak fluent English you ask for interpreters in Spanish, Chinese, you n…

I check the document and the it looks great. Even if it fails to work at least you are always brought back to an integer value of x-coordinate.

In vscode, tab (the key above capslock) is implemented by counting how many characters are on the current line and adding 4floor(x/4+1)-x spaces to the current line. This obviously…

There were days where seeing a unique doodle makes your day. And then one day you realized that there is an official page for all doodles and you spend a good time on it. Now it is…

I mean we do have a lot of (perhaps too many) markdown dialects today. Wikipedia, wordpress, github, stackexchange, you name it. Last time I was using a Q&A forum for calculus cour…

U+FF1B Fullwidth semicolon. The semicolon in CJKV ideographs.

He's not even saying China is bad. He's related two things that people tend to like or hate simultaneously.

If the app is in the foreground or I am in a meeting, Zoom can have my microphone. Anything beyond that is just absurd.

Note that the preprint on arXiv dated back to July 2021.

Funny enough, the moderncv document class does not have a pdf document back when I was trying to use it to create my CV ~5 years ago. (It does now.)
