    The last paragraph is especially creepy. You can be treated as an animal, whenever they please.

    So if you plan to take your laptop it is better to upload the disk image and buy a new one in the states? I'm assuming the TSA can force a foreigner to unlock and then copy the dis…

    I'm not talking about the time it takes, but the mass of the fuel. Which is more than just doubled. That is what equations tell you: http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativit…

    And the last paragraph is the main problem. The ship would get torn apart from lone atoms and to actually stop yourself you need an exponential amount of fuel, because you need to …

    Just impose rules that are trivial for humans to solve reliably and not for computers.

    Copy paste is disabled remember... As for the rest, that is up to the developer with more resources than his opponents.

    A full chapter is dedicated to dynamic type checking. If that isn't acceptable for your project, don't use it. Successful languages that don't have compile time checks, show that t…

    You can always make the game itself harder on top of all the anti-bot tricks. The game has to be only hard and expensive enough to hack so that the effort isn't worth the result. O…

    There are simple ways to make that very hard. The first one is to remove copy paste.

    It is crashing all the time, it should be back soon. Even with all that I still keep coming back.

    But it almost impossible to write a polynomial in under 60 seconds without any tools, that follows the desired path.

    That is a very limited system without real polymorphism.

    It has a very high learning curve. And while it has great ideas, the usage of variadic functions is not warranted in my opinion. I recommend you first try a simple OO project yours…

    Agreed, functions should be continuous and no step functions.

    Sugar is the best and fastest source of energy found in the nature. We are programmed to like it and remember when we ingest it, and that behavior is rewarded by feeling good. A la…

    You have to be careful even with fruits with high sugar amount. But it is harder since the digestion is slower and you get full faster.

    Every day with cereal for months now. I'm doing great, no problems whatsoever. You should switch from sugary drinks to water and fruit. It takes about 3 weeks to adjust. ( and avoi…

    I don't know, I wouldn't judge a decompiled code. Can you give a few examples why is it so bad?

    Thank you! Game of the Year! I wish I had this in school. This might just spark a new interest in pure math for me. ... I think I broke it: y = x^2 / ( 6000/t^(t*t) )

    After a year of acceleration at 1g, a stationary observer would observe a speed of 215184620 m/s or 71.7% the speed of light. After two years: 89.9% After four years: 97.2% After e…
