i do find it deeply funny that a polemic against peer review has an AI generated header image with easily identifiable problems (notebook contents upside down, one child is about to cut her hand with scissors, the other is building a geometrically impossible "lego" structure). if only it had been reviewed by someone else before publishing!

As someone who just rolled credits on Blue Prince after 20 hours or so, I can definitely confirm that there’s much much more to the post-game content than a skinner box. It’s much more like a mega puzzle hunt[1] with an RNGish roguelike wrapper.

Describing the Curta calculator as having been made “in Austria starting in the 1930s” is a wild way to gloss over the fact that its creator, Curt Herzstark, was a prisoner in the Buchenwald concentration camp and was forced to design and manufacture it for the Nazi forces[1].

This article, which starts by lamenting the “injustice” of “expansionist” historians, sure makes an interesting effort to ignore the actual history of one of its subjects.

Have you found a sane way to handle massive initial imports? As far as I can tell, there's no way to bulk-categorize transactions. That means I'd have to go through each of my 6k+ transactions one-by-one for categorization.

Your response seems to imply you missed the major points of the article:

"[...] there is no bigger favor that Trump opponents can do for him than attacking him with such lowly, shabby, obvious shams, recruiting large media outlets to lead the way. When it comes time to expose actual Trump corruption and criminality, who is going to believe the people and institutions who have demonstrated they are willing to endorse any assertions no matter how factually baseless, who deploy any journalistic tactic no matter how unreliable and removed from basic means of ensuring accuracy?"

Greenwald, who has been a consistent and vociferous critic of Trump, is arguing that falling in line with the CIA is as big a mistake for the left now as it was back in '03 when they lied us into the Iraq War. The CIA is not your friend, and there are much more effective and powerful ways to handle Trump's obvious corruption:

"Beyond that, the threat posed by submitting ourselves to the CIA and empowering it to reign supreme outside of the democratic process is — as Eisenhower warned — an even more severe danger. The threat of being ruled by unaccountable and unelected entities is self-evident and grave. That’s especially true when the entity behind which so many are rallying is one with a long and deliberate history of lying, propaganda, war crimes, torture, and the worst atrocities imaginable.

[...]

There are solutions to Trump. They involve reasoned strategizing and patient focus on issues people actually care about. Whatever those solutions are, venerating the intelligence community, begging for its intervention, and equating their dark and dirty assertions as Truth are most certainly not among them. Doing that cannot possibly achieve any good, and is already doing much harm."

To be fair, the view that the modern Democratic party is center-right isn't one exclusively held by the alt-right, but something that's held by the progressive left as well. HRC didn't only lose because of a resurgence of the populist right, but because of an enormous drop-off in left-leaning political support.

Actually, the author cites a number of issues with modern-day Canada as well as Trudeau's lip service to these issues:

"These days, Canada is the second-largest arms exporter to the Middle East. Our Alberta oil sands produce more carbon emissions each year than the entire state of California. Our intelligence agency is allowed to act on information obtained through torture. And a lot of French Canadians are into blackface comedy."

Always great to see an introduction to WebGL that isn't just a tutorial on three.js. This is exactly the kind of guide I wish I had back when I was first learning about GL programming.

Although I may be mistaken, LZ77 defines the repeat behavior to do exactly that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LZ77_and_LZ78#Example

Agreed, the descriptions could use some work. That said, I tried to strike a balance between correctness and simplicity when describing the commands so people could quickly get to trying stuff out.

I do show that particular edge case (along with "print 0") in the examples, though.
