I can think of nothing more important and famous than chicken.pdf

https://isotropic.org/papers/chicken.pdf

Oh, I was expecting https://sebastiancarlos.com/how-i-quit-my-programmer-job-to-... in PDF form. But it's a different document.

I like bwok quook more.

Ah isotropic.org, once the home of the best ever online version of Dominion. The mobile version is now good enough, but it took nearly a decade and multiple development teams to catch up to what one developer did in his spare time.

But the new ones are prettier.

Actually I just wnat the card information and text as per isotropic plus the statistics generated e.g. how good or bad were you if a particular card was in the kingdom.

Isotropic was so fast and minimalist, the new mobile app, if you have it on a brand new phone, runs at decent speed, but it is still slower than isotropic was 10 years ago on a Nexus 5x.

(I was actually shocked the mobile app is so poorly optimized that I needed a new phone to run it at full speed...)

Amazing site, even if it was only targeted at the true enthusiasts!

I bet that PDF compresses nicely.

I was surprised that the 52 KB PDF compressed to only 45 KB on my machine. There seems to be about 13 KB of text; perhaps the rest is the illustrations?

Came here to say this hahahaha. This is the dummy PDF I use for PDF testing whenever I need one.

Context please?

This clarifies nothing. Yet, I now understand.

"Made for kids" YT is a terrible idea, cannot even add to favourites. Triggers each time when I see such video

If this is new to you, make sure you watch the whole presentation!

I imagine the word frequencies in that paper are somewhat less than respresentative.

I did use that PDF for testing at my previous workplace, although I didn't commit it to CI.

Man, I might sneak a reference to that paper in my next technical report.

Well, that was hilarious. Thank you for starting my day with a chuckle.

You mean a cluckle.
