I'm not a gamedev, but there's a more insidious issue with the CA "Stop Killing Games" legislation that was just passed --- namely, a Ship of Theseus problem. Pick your favorite game today that you purchase once, then…
They are, though. [1] But maybe that's insufficient. Hugo[2], one of the most widespread static site generators in existence, supports Pandoc markdown flavors as well as general GFM.[3] [1]:…

They're not defending it as an established workflow pattern or some kind of best practice. The usage of "exhibit a pattern consistent with..." is just describing what it looks like the repository was used for. i.e. it's…

The linked post points to OEIS A014233[1] for establishing their set of Miller-Rabin[2] bases, though it's actually possible to find smaller sets. I remember asking about this on StackExchange some years ago [3], which…
This might not be something entirely obvious to people outside of academia, but the vast majority (which I'm only weakening a claim of "totality" in order to guard against unknown instances) of entities that bear the…
It's interesting to see Quanta make a foray into print publishing. I've long-wished for a print form of Quanta math articles in a monthly magazine, so maybe there is some hope for that eventually?
I remember reading a book on web usability well over a decade ago, and one of the things it pointed out was how Google ensured that the links you wanted to click were "above the fold" --- not ads, but honest-to-goodness…

The article doesn't explicitly state it in this manner in one concise place, but the way I would always think about A* from a "practical/easy-to-remember" perspective back when I was doing competitive programming is…
The [Drunken Bishop](https://www.jfurness.uk/the-drunken-bishop-algorithm/) algorithm works well for this purpose, without needing a GPU. :)
This is cool data! ...however, I must ask --- where does the data come from? HN certainly has a side that loves open-source data, but it also has a privacy-loving side. Focusing on the privacy aspects, has TomTom given…
There are three buttons that act as sorting directions at the top of the answers section: "Votes," "Oldest," and "Active." The "Active" option sorts by most recently modified, which is _usually_ what you'd want instead…
