I've struggled through 2 or 3 Marquez books in Spanish (I'm far from fluent), and have read all of them in English. Gregory Rabassa was an excellent translator and ,from my unexpert point of view, captured the essence of Marquez' work.
Translated literature is interesting and I've recently read a few differing views on the "best" translations of Homer.
I've resigned myself that I simply must trust the masses in some places and I won't be learning Russian to read Tolstoy authentically.
I'm at this point 15 years removed, but Prof Kernighan was one of the most accessible professors and taught the most popular CS survey course (333).
I have at least a half a dozen times where I was pointed his direction from another professor and Kernighan spent an hour with me looking into how to scrape a dynamic website for my auction theory project. When he was stumped he introduced me to a professor at another school who he knew had looked into the topic.
What would it mean for an AI to beat the best humans in a 5K race? Obviously robots can do that, is there some definition of "humanoid AI robot" which exists for such a task?
That's a new term for me, but after researching it, it makes sense. What are your preferred sources of comprehensible input. After a few months on Duolingo I still find TV shows to mostly not be comprehensible, so not productive.
Interesting, I am a Super Duolingo subscriber but I don't think that's one of the features. Anywhere I'm inputting a sentence I think I get the keyboard option, maybe I'm misremembering, but I do a lot of typing on my Japanese keyboard when I study.
Not only Amazon, but the rise of ebooks in general. While there are still a lot of holdouts, I think every voracious reader in my family has switched at least some of their reading to ebooks. The ease of acquiring ebooks from the library through Overdrive/Libby means I treat the trip to the bookstore as an exploratory treat rather than an errand to buy the next book in the series
Beer info is out of date as well. Beer up to 5% can be sold at grocery stores with no day/time restrictions - which covers quite a lot of beer. High gravity beer (>5%) can be purchased at liquor stores or at the brewery (no time/day restrictions on brewery sales).
It's onerous sometimes, and often weird, but it's no more difficult to purchase liquor in Utah than in a state like Virginia.
I've always wanted to understand how a game like this actually runs, but always struggled with navigating through a project. I'm adept at reading and understanding code, but struggle to understand aa big project like this.
Where does one start when looking at a github like this - where's the "game loop" actually live?
Maybe not quite what you're talking about, but https://www.nationstates.net/ is almost like Model UN the game. Played a bit with friends back in the day, but missing some of the mechanics of Civ
Perhaps it was just the time in my life that I played it, but the most immersive experience I had playing a game was a text based MUD called Achaea. I've tried to recapture that experience unsuccessfully.
The lack of focus on graphics meant that complexity of description and systems didn't need to have visual work to go along with it, which allowed for much more complex systems than I'd seen in any game at the time.
Why is that weird? Attorneys in this are working on behalf of the US Government. If they feel like settling gets the best deal for the government, then they do that.
