Various levels of NLP do get applied in IF, but it doesn't necessarily help much. Being able to parse input is an important step, but the game/story needs to be able to do somethin…

Aside from a few of the biggest Stack Exchange sites (including Stack Overflow) most of the 170 sites don't have ads and don't make profit. The only profit is very indirect, demons…

What about Module.instantiateWasm()? That should let you provide a pre-compiled or even pre-instantiated module.

So the Disney Vault is an actual physical vault with human security guards? Wow! I thought it was just a scheme for introducing artificial scarcity.

Or any active content! Why would Amazon sell apps in only North America?!

The best thing in this article is the list of things-that-turned-out-to-be-bad-ideas!

Because otherwise everyone using "password" as their password would have to share an account!

I would say that the GPL is instead primarily concerned with the freedom of the software, not the authors or users. GPL software can never be taken hostage, even if that inconvenie…

Which commercial?

"Ideating"? Really? Yes I know it's not a new word, but really?

True, but more people are likely to think of the subtitle as being canonical due to repeated watchings on VHS or DVD than theatre reruns.

No, not the remastered version! Nooooooo!

And I opted out. I believe that it was only recently enforced on everyone.
