Cool project, you can also add the option to guess the population and have a scoreboard of who was the least wrong.

People that have spent their entire lives in academia consoling themselves for their wasted years with fancy graphics. :)

How is this legal? Isn't it gambling to allow people to earn/lose money in a game?

Whoever wrote that and is not 14, it's a clear sign of stunted emotional growth.

Seems the implementation is Haskell, would've been much cleaner in Ocaml. Appearently it's a grad coruse in functional algorithms but can't even see the time-complexity analysis of heapify.

Upvoting doesn't mean agreeing with the study. It means it's fun to talk about, discuss and exchange opinions about the topic.

This is a fact and if you disagree Big Beef will come after you.

I stand corrected. Now it makes sense that only 1 side-effect in his circle.

Thanks.

They said: "I don't have a large social circle." You need to read context a bit more carefully.

It's a back of the envelope calculation. I've a strong intuition that the precise answer isn't too far off.

You are wrong about what is meant by a "social circle". They are people that he socializes with.

Definition of social circle is "A social circle is a group of socially interconnected people". I doubt anyone would complain about having a small social circle if it contained 2M people. :)

Odds of death from AstraZenaca are 1 in 1 million. Let's take odds of the event of having serious complications to be 1/100,000 just to be more skeptical.

The odds that 5 people in a row have such serious side effect is 1/10^25. That is equivalent to tossing 83 coins in a row and getting all heads.

Which is more likelier. 1/10^25 or that you have false information regarding this. : )

That's an overly optimistic vantage point. Many things will change. For the worse.

They are about learning and education though. How could they possibly not be. The other things like connections, socialising, getting drunk are just extra bonuses. This idea that universities don't provide any value to society and that they should be replaced by poorly structured YT videos with tons of mistakes in them has to go. Has no basis whatsoever.

Can someone explain to me why Facebook Messenger sucks so bad? The search function barely works, lags most of the time and scrolling up on conversations takes forever.

Discord is orders of magnitude better in those aspects.

Haha yup. Wait until you check this out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWONeJKn6kc

ML course by a 15 year old!

What barrier of entry for HTML5 games? Not like you need to install 40 frameworks to make web games.

Seems a bit of a far-fetched conclusion from a black swan.

Browser games allow you to fast prototype but people don't care at all whether the game is Flash or instant, written in C++ or you need to install some software to play it. The only thing they care about is the game good.

Flappy bird had insane success as well, why not claim the future of games is mobile?

I can't understand it.

I really don't understand why people jump to conclusions so fast without hearing both sides.

I understand no one wants the small guy to be bullied by the company but it's ridiculously naive to assume that the entire truth is contained in that blog post.

I guarantee you that they are decimated by trauama on the daily and hide behind thin veneers of "just do it".

Trivial solution: make a tool that pumps tons of fake data to the point where no algorithm can separate the signal from the noise.

The point is you get better at it.

It really isn't possible. Every single CS person I know of is doing LC.

I honestly doubt that 50% of applicants can't do FizzBuzz.

In any decent CS school they actually teach you low-level stuff. Transitioning from Java to C++ for such a person is trivial.

Humans, how do you build those?

Hmm.. Why use a DB for a multiplayer game?

Yeah it does, just get out of the US.

PG got called out on his BS for his previous essay now cries because "haters".

Very sloppy writing Paul, very lazy.
