Bitcoin symbol is used far more than Klingon characters. Simple as that.

And anyone Klingon is declared for use in the private use area, like other niche languages.

fjeifisjf··on The Kilobyte’s Gambit
It's common to draw too, as it tends to do 3 move repetition, perhaps to avoid losing material.

When I finally beat it, it seemed to let me fork it's pieces in the corner, and then in endgame, it knows nothing about the positional strategy to avoid forks or mating combinations, since it only has 4 move lookahead. It let me material with king and rook even though it had a knight that could have interfered.

Looking ahead more moves requires zero more code -- depth is a loop variable.

Voter turnout was over 50% in 2016 and 2018, even after the effects of voter supppression.

Ask a parent (usually mother) what happens if they try to bring a kid to their (non coronavirus era) office because they don't have anyone else to care for the kid that day. Almost always completely unacceptable, for reasons ranging from arbitrary fake professionalism to lack of interest in setting up a support structure and expecting employees to sacrifice their personal lives for the company.

I can only hope this "fake macho work persona" bubble-burst carries forward into post-covid.

That sounds like a work cult. We're all these families still your friends after leaving the company?

I take issue with this drone nonsense. If you are helping people for money you are doing good with your life. If you are comfortable at work and not being physically or emotionally abused, there's absolutely nothing wrong with being a "drone". Not everyone should be a celebrity changing the world in their own big way. Imagine if the whole world was being constantly reshaped in 7 billion ways!

It s relative. You can work 40 hrs for a 24hr job, or 60 hrs for a 40hr job. The former is still part time.
