Seems a bit disingenuous to compare the niche of tech folks that used Google+ to the niche that use WeChat, with the later "niche" being... China...

Not everyone has to agree that dominating a country's social media usage is a good goal, but it clearly is the goal for many companies, and they're going to continue to persue it. Perhaps users of social media should redefine success, but for creators of social media platforms there are absolutely clearly defined measures of success and failure.

One of the things I really like about TNG is that the longer seasons allowed the writers to take more risks outside of the standard "planet of the week" episodes. Some of my favorite episodes are those that dive deep into some of the lesser seen characters and really flesh them out in a way we don't usually get to see in more modern television. It depends if you're more into this vs the more traditional plots, but if so I hope you'll really like the late season episode "Sub Rosa".

Was anyone saying it was dead? I guess it took a hit when What went down, but I don't think people are going to stop listening to music...

This is a good reminder I should get back on soulseek, though; I used to use it and it was pretty great.

I don't know if it's a canon connection to Star Trek in particular, but I loved the nod to the trope of using Toronto for NYC/Chicago/wherever.

I went through these challenges a while back; they were super fun! I remember at the end there was something about "notify me if there are more challenges" but I don't believe I ever heard anything.

I'm a sucker for puzzles, and the write-ups for the challenges were the right level of silliness.

Super interesting read! Thanks for sharing.

I'd be interested to see how impactful a sparse representation would be. It's an optimization I know to have been useful from trying it on AoC and similar cellular automata problems, but I have no clue how it would mesh with the other optimizations made here. I would guess its effectiveness would also rely heavily on the particular ruleset you were simulating, as well as your starting state.

I, the honorable King of the great nation of Recothuami, am certainly not to blame. On an unrelated note, I have an incredible investment opportunity that may be of interest to you.
