I would agree with this definition. If the game does not visually resemble Rogue even a little at a glance, in what sense is it “like” Rogue

Damn if this ain’t the truth. Memory is probably the thing I struggle with most day-to-day, and people really don’t get it.

It is so weird that the article repeatedly acknowledges that this isn’t really unique and other companies and researchers are doing the same, but they’re only covering this one because it relates to Musk. What is it about Musk that makes every little thing he does “newsworthy”?

Most of his other companies are not publicly traded, so there isn’t much direct comparison. But Tesla has widely been known to be hugely over-inflated for years and years now, the bubble had to burst sooner or later. It is definitely being hit harder than the rest.

VerticaGG is misrepresenting how this actually works. The main FIDE chess league is open to anyone, men or women or whatever. But because women tend to do worse in chess (for whatever reason, you can discuss why until the cows come home but it isn’t the point) exclusive women-only titles and tournaments were created in order to encourage more women to take part.

For example there is the Woman Grand Master title which is significantly easier to achieve than regular Grand Master, but women can and have achieved both.

It seems to have worked, too. The top women players today are fantastic, and have dramatically reduced the gap in the top rankings. We could yet see a woman as world champion for the first time.

This makes no sense to me. What exactly do you have against atheists? Are you religious yourself?

If you learn Rust, you’ll find that you’d choose it over C/++ even without the brrow checker. Every little part of the development experience is just so much better.
