So you're saying that having a large GDP is a justification to invade other countries?

Connect 4 should be really easy to implement.

Is code-folding necessary? Instead you could put the demonstration in an appendix, and the authors would be free to decide what goes in the core of the article and what goes into the appendix. This could be made automatically where trunks of article would move back and forth from the core to the article and vice-versa, depending of what the reader chose to, and in each case a corresponding pdf could be generated.

Coincidentally I recently finished a MOOC about prime numbers where the ABC conjecture was introduced, I believe in order to show how mysterious prime numbers still were. The MOOC is here if someone is interested: https://courses.edx.org/courses/course-v1:KyotoUx+011x+2T201...

Apart from that, the article makes me curious about the state of automated mathematical proof. I remember having read an article posted here about a mathematician (I think he was a Field medalist) who was claiming that automated proof were the future of mathematics as they would enable mathematicians to collaborate much more easily, removing problems of trust in others' proof.

I have two kids (now 8 and 4 years old). I don't own a car. We never had any issue bringing them with us in public transport (bus, metro or train). We live in Barcelona.

FWIW, I already asked similar stuff ("What is the movie where...?", "what is the book where...?") on stackexchange and I could get the answer relatively quickly.

I traveled a few time within the Schengen space. I was never asked to show any identity document.

I managed to dig it from archive.org: https://web.archive.org/web/20160113210613/https://michaeloc...

> There was absolutely no interest at all in "Who" was looking at the page. It seems to me there is still a tremendous amount of money that could be made with only that use case.

I hope that is true, but I have my doubts. Google must have given some thoughts to that issue and decided to switch their targeting to the "who" for a reason, if the previous model was more profitable they simply would have stuck with it I suppose.

By definition, a Markov chain only depends of the current state. That said, I can think of a way to make something depending on the past as well: if you have two states (S for sunny, R for Rainy), with two days of state you now have four states: SS, SR, RS, RR, which gives you a transition probabilities matrix - of course you will have some restriction, for example from SS you can only go to SS and SR.

As someone who never played Minecraft, I am curious how many men hours it took to build all of this. It's beautiful.

> I started profesional coding with age of 11 and general IT with 6-7 years (~1989).

That's really interesting, can you provide more details about it? I'm really curious how a kid could make money from coding in the early 90's.

It looks nice, anybody knows how to build it on Linux?

I tried elmbudget.com but the registration was broken, so I couldn't check out the website.

I don't know what you mean by "badly", but Homejoy failed after raising more than $40M.

This was largely discussed on HN: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=homejoy&sort=byPopularity&pref...

Thank you. I edited the title.

The thing is that there is no particular reason for non animated images to require javascript.

Iceland and Denmark have closed ties.

> I used VLC to play videos on BeOS back in college in the late 90s

VLC was first released in 2001, as per Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VLC_media_player

Deactivating mublock also worked for me.

Could someone explain, for someone not familiar with low level programming, what would be the advantages of using another garbage collector in Emacs?

How do you measure the complexity of the code, and most importantly, of the problem that the code is solving?

Maybe Netflix as well.

Sad to see this simple reply downvoted for no reason by a bunch of Apple fanboys.

Here in Barcelona, there is a restaurant called "Menage a Trois"...

> c-x c-[fa]

You mean c-x c-[fs], right? I'm by no mean an emacs expert although I've been using it for 6 years now, and when I read your comment I thought "Wow, c-x c-a is a functionality? How comes I have never used that?", so I tried that in emacs but it's not mapped to anything.

Apart from that, I fully agree with your comment.

That would make a great combination with the 2D syntax [1] discussed here a few weeks ago [2].

So... if I were to meet you somewhere in the US and tell you "wow, the train is so slow here, in France the TGV goes at 300 km/h, here it's only X!", would that make you (or others) angry?

Well I'm French (grew up and born in France, but my father is Vietnamese), and some people have trouble to accept that I am not from an Asian country. The conversation goes like this: "Where are you from?" "France" "Uh?? no, come on, seriously" "Yes, I'm from France" "OK, but... where are you born?" ""Uh... France...".

By the way, my wife is also Japanese... it's possible that our wives know each other :)
