I'm pretty sure that line of the article didn't mean to imply that we don't know, or aren't sure, only that it goes beyond the scope of the article and isn't directly relevant to t…

It's really the last thing that keeps any trustworthy source from recommending switching to linux for gaming without reservation. As soon as you want to play any competitive online…

According to Wikipedia, there are countably many algebraic numbers, and that makes intuitive sense to me as well. Do you have a source that the set of algebraic numbers is uncounta…

An interesting thing about the quote you highlighted is that it's already true about the set of real numbers itself. The set of real numbers that can be precisely, individually ide…

> Maybe it's the idea of a completed infinity that's my problem; maybe it's the fact I don't understand how to define (or forgot cauchy sequences in detail) an arbitrary real. As s…

The people who prioritize learning a foreign language over some of the things that you prioritize.

If they provide something of value to their audience, they can take money from their audience, in exchange for that value. If they do not provide value for their audience, them cea…

When the AVGN started out, the SNES was roughly as old as the PS3 is now.

Why is efficiency the guiding metric of our decision making?

They're so much nicer.

> I hope the next time there is a pandemic like Covid that we do more sensible things like not ban access to outdoor activities, shutdown beaches, shutdown everything for months, d…

I don't have a strong opinion in the matter, but the argument is that banning things don't automatically make them go away. Banning things that people want to do will make organize…

If the point of this exercise is to create a game that removes first move advantage, while keeping the game as unchanged as possible, this is an utter failure. Turning a game of pe…

From your FAQ: "While this is a beta product, our tests show it to be about 82% accurate." What does this mean? Is it the true positive rate? The true negative rate? An average of …

Ah, that's the possibility I wasn't thinking of. Thank you.

I admit that while I do regularly play chess, I'm not super well versed in either FEN nor Chess960. That said, I've been trying to figure out why you would need a different notatio…

You're correct. In fact I'm not seeing any two probe words that will give you a definite piece of positive information, without taking into account a third word. I made my own mist…

I understand this, but the person who responded said Passkeys are exactly the same as SSH and used the same, when asked what they are. If that was true, then we would just teach no…

If they are exactly like SSH keys, then why not just keep using SSH keys. Clearly, there is something else to them.

This is exactly it. The purpose of web forums is communication that you want to reach people right now (if you don't already have a well established platform). Most of it is inform…

I'm pretty sure if you reproduce a work from memory by accident, because you didn't notice your subconscious had just stored the entire article and is now reproducing it word for w…

It's fine for a human to remember it. It's not fine for a human redistribute it for money (legally speaking). That's copyright infringement.

Here is the thing with that. Technically every individual instance of a problem is decidable. It's only in the universal case that they become undecidable. Take the halting problem…

Beat me to it.

Long TOS that nobody expects to ever be read should be illegal in general.
