I am more surprised by the description of “rock döts”. A Norwegian certainly knows that ASCII is not enough for all our alphabetical needs.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_umlaut

The writer presumably knows that umlauts and other non-ascii characters are functional in many languages. "rock döts" is poking fun at the trend in a certain tranche of anglophone rock/metal to use them in a purely aesthetic way in band names etc.


Well if he is bored being the world champion, he may just be looking for any hard to reach goal at all.

If the top players are not winning their games, they will not stay at the top for long.


He's bored not exactly by being the world champion, but by the format, where he has to prep for a long series of games all against just one opponent. He wants to play a variety of players. He wants the world championship to be a tournament with many entrants, rather than last year's champion against just one opponent.


I think this is it. But 2900 seems very arbitrary. It's not even that round. If he were close to 3000 that would at least be a satisfying number.


Both an email-address and a domain name have a use-after-free risk. Doubly so if an expired domain issued email-addresses to users


No you are not allowed to do that. A grey square excludes the letter from the position, regardless of any yellow squares.


You are correct. Words with repeated letters are not a good strategy in this game.


Words with repeated letters are a great strategy, as long as you know or strongly suspect the letter isn't in the target word, and the letter is rare so eliminating it doesn't eliminate much.


They are a fantastic strategy, though if one happens to rob you of a lot of remaining words, you should undo it.


Hmm, that was the case when I tried and I jumped to the conclusion


I'm not sure about your conclusion here. If we don't repeat the letter then we're going to have information about another letter, which we don't want.


Alternatively, you may say that programming is skewed towards people that find it easy to operate in a world of logic. We all know that programming can be like a puzzle and you sometimes have to keep a lot of conditions and dependencies in your head to solve the current problem.

Others may lack the formal language, but I don't see an inherent disadvantage in that. You can play music without knowing the notes.


It tells you this information right before you start the test: "This test consists of 35 problems that must be solved within a 25 minute time limit."

But I agree that it is unfortunate to base the future of a person on a one-time test. That includes the finals in school or a day full of exams after a long semester.


Why are they [0] offering a return of the gas spent, then?

Because it's profitable for Yuga Labs to do that? They're a business making a business decision. They know users are more likely to participate in the community in the future if Yuga is willing to cover costs out-of-pocket.

Again, assess the risks yourself. Assume responsibility for your own actions. Especially in an environment like crypto today.


Marketing and brand.


People are imprisoned when they are a danger to others or at risk of flight. Their time in prison is meant to reform them and help them back into society. The community is protected from further "mistakes" from a person, while allowing the person to learn not to make the same mistake again.

At least that is the idea.


As far as I know vodafone uses the same modem/router for all DOCSIS connections, but disables some funcionality (such as bridge mode) for 'ex-unitymedia' connections.

It seems like the integration of both networks is quite a task and the bridge-mode feature is not a priority. How the bridge-mode is affected by the network backbone is unclear to me. IPv6 delegation also does not work for me.


You could also argue that it is a matter of perspective. From the perspective of either circle, A will only revolve 3 times.

Only by introducing a larger frame of reference, a grid or in the video a table, you gain an outside perspective. From this outside perspective you redefine a revolution according to some new orientation and end up with n+1 revolutions.

Or maybe the argument is backwards and I just try to justify answering 3.
