Yes in 'Studio 5, The Stars' they use a "VT set" to generate poems
I really enjoyed reading Vermilion Sands
No, pre-empt here means you don't have a word, the town (commune) has priority and you can't make an offer

I never switched to smartphones to not have internet in my pocket, and so I sticked to Sony Ericsson phones. Currently I use a 2010 Sony Ericsson Elm (J10i) which gives me SMS, phone, camera, and a few utilities : calendar, alarms, calculator, flashlight. Dimensions are 110.00 x 45.00 x 14.00 mm, I recharge once every ten days or so
haha no he never worked for chess.com, wonder where you heard that one :D
lichess is not one guy either, there's a whole community of developers, moderators etc.
this is how it works, there is a whole alternative lichess universe where shadow-banned users play each others.

Absolutely.
Also, a point I found interesting is that we can classify desires in three categories:
- natural and necessary, e.g drink, eat
- natural but not necessary, e.g sex
- not natural and not necessary, e.g smartphones
Epicure advised to fulfill only the first type of desires, that is, drink water and eat bread, period.
As a sidenote, the goal of his philosophy was not to experience pleasures, but instead to avoid pain, which is quite different.
Have you seen the movie 'Inception' [0] ? This is the idea behind recursion: you are in some context, then dive into another (similar although not identical) context, then dive into another (similar although not identical) context, etc.
The 'reality' is the top level context.
You dive down to level 2 context by falling asleep; that would be the recursive function call.
In that dream, fall asleep and enter level 3 context. You are now recusrsively falling asleep.
In the movie, the characters wait for a signal to wake up and going one level up. This is the 'stopping condition' of a recursive call.
You can also see that as Matryoshka dolls.
Regarding the 'Inception' movie that's funny, because it popularized the '-ception' suffix to describe a recursive phenomenon [1]

this makes me think of Qt in a web browser using WebAssembly [0]
I find it really impressive that desktop applications can now run quite smoothly in a web browser. In like 15 years we've made it from phpbb forums through 56k modem, to this.
Congratulations

Correct me if I'm wrong, but maybe the carbon dioxide you exhale comes from the air you inhale. No air in, no carbon dioxide out.
I would answer in my own language, and let my interlocutor's device translate for me instead.
what about "caguer" ? it sounds even closer
Actually 'WebAssembly' appeared in the title for few minutes, but then it was edited to 'Asm.js'
yes to me it's related to seasickness, just the opposite : there is a conflict between what you see and what your inner ear senses
I thought LGPL meant if you link to (Qt) shared libraries, your project does not have to be LGPL ?
> Really? Is it lame to be using an email clients these days?
I think he means that wether nano is derived from an email client or not is not important
"You are tied to a particular version of the LLVM API at compile time."
In what pretty terms these thoughts are put!
