No pitches at all would render it extremely difficult for those without perfect pitch, but supplying a reference tone or scale (like Earmaster) and highlighting the appropriate key…

There's plenty of knowledge to be gained apart from that, there are top players that explain some of their thinking that have content on Youtube/Twitch. There are other examples al…

"Series of unfortunate events" is an understatement, but I would say it gets due recognition--it's an indie game over a decade old and still earns its slot at major fighting game t…

>And of course there is pressng all 88 keys on the MIDI piano at the same time. I would like to know what that sounds like on a real piano though. The mute pedal on an upright/cons…

This one has nailed a strong 'hook' for puzzle games, I think--the game appearing at first more challenging than it becomes after the initial learning.

At the risk of being oblivious to humor: The point is the latency and loss of the message -- for a more red-team angle, suppose someone in the intervening space has captured the co…

While I also agree with the sentiment, I do think it's a little bit like saying "90% of all programming is flow control and assignments"--it hinges on wide definitions that can be …

I'd be surprised if there existed a significant number of software development professionals who could answer a flat 'no' to this (although I'm certain there exist some amount who …

I'm sure that those with a lot more hardware experience than me have the intuition to make guesses like this but I was surprised at: >You have to register to download the HDMI spec…

I think, if you're familiar with go, this is an uncharitable reading of the question. The victory condition in this game is very directly analogous to a not-uncommon source of (som…

And leave a webcam on the door of every single person I'm professionally engaged with, to record their visitors? Use it to understand where each of those persons spends all of thei…

What I mean is that some group of people earns dividends from the profit of the insurance company (stockholders or private owners), the insurance company earns profit by charging e…

I think the idea of that service being all three of mandatory, not owned by its participants, and profit-driven is what causes it to feel inherently predatory -- that there exist c…

I dunno, for-profit insurance has always struck me as something predatory by nature. The only functional difference between the two sides is that the sellers of insurance have capi…

It seems weird to hear "a company here in Japan called LINE" -- LINE is big enough in Japan that it sounds kind of equivalent to "a company here in America called Discord".

I'm... confused as to what your interpretation of my comments here is. I'm explicitly stating that the issue isn't about people deciding they owe something to other people, or what…

This is not really the point that I'm arguing--my point would be that if you wanted your house entirely encrusted in precious jewels, each of which was individually polished by a t…

I think the primary issue is not precisely 'wealth inequality' but rather a lack of accountability and responsibility from people with large amounts of wealth. If one has assets wh…

> 3... e6: "A solid move, and I have never seen it before. It has been played by many strong players, including GMs, Zvjaginsev, and others. It seems quite good overall, but occasi…

>when one would simply need a microscope to find them in devices This isn't a true statement, if strictly read--there are many techniques to hide undocumented components on boards,…

Very cool! There's another site I used to frequent with a similar bent, focused on golfing: https://www.dwitter.net/

>Also, notably, the bot can still lose in the short term to terrible players, which was the thrust of my post. In fact, given its bluffing frequency, it might actually do worse aga…

Though I know very little Russian, I know enough to say that "how" and "pochemu" do not map 1:1 -- If I asked, in English, "how is this cardboard box flat?", the natural response w…

As a prime example of this, I'd point to the horrifying source for VVVVVV, a darling indie game of its time: https://github.com/TerryCavanagh/vvvvvv (my favorite piece: https://git…

You've painted the above comment as a negative spin, but I'm not really understanding, in your post, where it isn't just a less extreme version of this same spin. You're suggesting…
