My intuition would be checking every move and disallow those (no claiming, transparent comparison on every move)

We can argue if a forced move ends the game, or just allows it.

This would (more) move the game forwards in the basic historical rule-set.

I am happy to announce;

i wrote a GDOv7 module to ship this font and will use it in one of my projects.

Of course, this projekt uses only Latin characters. (The fonts are like 20kb, i doubt they feature something asian.)

from the ask-hn dept.

One time i was on filezilla FTP and moved a folder to the parent folder. I slipped with the mouse. The application recreated logs and all the parent folders. Filezilla got crazy. A simply undo or re-move was tricky. I only slipped with the mouse. 30 min downtime.Has something similiar ever happened to you?

Make breaking news once again for user privacy! Firefox once had problems with performance (and usability a bit) compared to chrome. They fixed that, i think.

What are math or physic functions that include many magic constants.

Like e = m * c (1 constant c) Or A = r * PI * 2; (1 constant PI)

I know there are equations that contain more than 1 magic constant. what are they?

Java Applets. They were portable, they were in the www. Also i like the Java language.

I dunno how a company can fail with such a good product.

I assume the problem was Oracles security model: Allow the app todo everything? no?! then i won't start. Yes?! ok i can do everything!
