  • You have to be able to hear and to reproduce the sounds of the language.

    I'm French, and I have an Italian friend. She can't hear the difference between \u\ and \y\ For her, "dessus" (above) and "dessous" (below) have the same sound.

    And I've never been able to reproduce the sound \r\ . I can only say \ʁ\ , which ruins any attempt to say something as simple as "ragazza" (girl).

  • I've never heard of this. How is it linked to transhumanism? Is it a re-branding? A fork? An attempted to propose a moral stance to transhumanism? Unless they are two rival theories to think the future?

    (I'm not a transhumanist)

  • The most interesting upgrades for me are Absorbing Man and, in a lesser extent, Hawkeye.

    Absorbing Man, 4/3 was a way under the curve and it was hard to find an on-reveal effect to compensate this weakness. But 4/5 is pretty standard, so I wouldn't be surprised to see AM duplicating Carnage, Venom, Korg, Debrii, Thor.. Also, I feel like there's something new to do with Black Panther (maybe in a Eletro Zola deck ?)

    About Hawkeye, there is a niche for a 1/4 card: between the 1/3 cards with double-edged effects (Blade, Zero) and stronger cards with stronger drawbacks (Ebony Maw, Titania) or specific triggers (Human Torch, Winter Soldier). And I agree with you: with bounce back effects, there may be interesting things to do with this humble card.

  • Solo boardgaming: tons of cooperative games can be played solo. At the moment, my main games are Marvel Champions and Arkham Horror LCG.

    Cross-stitching: maybe the easiest kind of embroidery, perfect for pixel art patterns and you don't need expensive stuff to get in.

  • One solution is to question their competence to speak on this subject, and assert the superiority of lived experience over purely theoretical knowledge.

    Another solution is to weigh (their) rationality against ethics. Many purely rational policies have led to disasters and horrors. Eugenics, for example, is perfectly rational.

  • I would use the language I know the best which provide a library that handles .dot files (Graphviz?) and I would check if the library has an internal data structure for the graphs.

    I guess it would be adjacency matrice or adjacency lists.

  • Thank you for the article. Opaque struct is an interesting subject for people who want to go deeper into their understanding of C.

    If I could add/emphasis two points to the article:

    • FILE is a famous example of struct using this trick. So, even if yon don't often need to develop an opaque struct in C, you certainly use such struct daily without knowing.
    • you can't declare a variable with an opaque type (because the compiler would need to know its size). Everything must be handled through pointers, and the library has to provide functions to allocate/destroy the struct, like fopen() and fclose() for FILE.
  • I'm in the process of destroing an old, out of service fireplace, to rebuild a fake one with an electric radiator.

    The chimney hadn't been swept before it was taken out of service, and now I know how much I hate tallow.
