    I think if we work one way for centuries until something happens to disrupt that, we can assume an eventual return to the average rather than "new normal" nonsense.

    I'm in a similar boat with one of many android app updates on Google Play. Over the last couple of weeks I pushed out updates to dozens of app listings with one app review rejected…

    Journalists should not be trusted. Articles like this especially, "X isn't Y", should be treated with skepticism and profound scrutiny. If ten media outlets come out with such arti…

    I find everything about OGS superior to KGS except for the quantity of strong players. In particular, its active development, community involvement, and modern tooling all make it …

    Pros saw the writing on the wall, but remember that no bot was even particularly close to pro strength until 2016. Go was dogmatically described as still being decades away from bo…

    Compile all your packages from source would be a start.
