Excellent work, very nice! One tiny UI nitpick: I found the squares' hitboxes to be unintuitively small, requiring more-than-expected precision to get Chazz to land in the square I…

Points for effort, but this will do literal nothing to appease the opposition, since the "water use" thing is a myth anyway. It's probably good, it sounds like it will be more effi…

Indeed they do. And as a result they have rather more of it than European busybodies. :)

Not OP, but why draw a line for WiFi names at all? Do you think an actual terrorist goes around drawing attention like that?

Deliberate understatement is sometimes deployed for humorous intent.

This appears bugged: > A Minsky program that adds register A into register B looks like: > 1. DEC A; if A == 0 goto 3 else goto 2 > 2. INC B; goto 1 > 3. HALT If A initially equals…

What are those artists successful at ? Making art, or marketing it? The New York art scene is a curious example in this context, because it is notoriously all about who you know ra…

That is why the writer specified "on average", which clearly remains true, at least in the case that the decisionmaker is part of the affected group. The optimistic part is in assu…

And call it AivotP*rkele?

> I have renamed the "endreleg" since the article release to "låst" and "open". I like that - much shorter and also the two keywords are the same length, which is always nice when …

What the devil kind of "Nynorsk" allows "kalkuler" in place of "beregn"? And as the other poster pointed out, 'endre' does not actually take the '-leg' ending to make an adjective;…

Additionally, this is pretty much the paradigmatic case of that criticism frequently heard on the left in any other context, that GDP is not the same as quality of life. Indeed in …
