    It’s now usable without JS once again. It was not long ago that repositories stopped being viewable without JS enabled, but they are now again. I hadn’t tried interacting in Issues…

    It was not a good point. AlphaGo can’t decide that it’s bored and go skydiving. Humans aren’t merely capable of playing Go. And when they do it, they can also pace around the table…

    Let’s not forget that aside from being vastly more energy efficient as a Go player, Lee Sedol is additionally capable of taking on a virtually unlimited list of other, equally mach…

    Hey, cool! Nice to get an attribution – is it OK if I add the citation to the post? Anything else you remember about it?

    Then again reading said book made me believe they’re fairly easy to write well. You need to keep in mind what a quantifier really does (“this will gobble up the whole string and th…

    Good comment. I just want to react to the last sentence. I use `git commit -a` plenty and without compunction. There are many times where a tweak or very simple feature doesn’t inv…
