> considered classics

Great games, but all you listed are barely 3 years old – can something that young already be considered a "classic"?


Outer Wilds is an unforgettable game, I have no problem calling it a classic. It already has a community developed to the point that it has a modus opperandi - never spoil anything for anyone.

Its a magical game and the community protects the experience for future players, as its impossible to 'rediscover it' again.

The headstone (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Friedrich_Gau%C3%9F#/medi...) does not (it does feature the star of David, but I couldn't find any notion that Gauß was jewish).

But there's a statue with that star (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Friedrich_Gau%C3%9F#/medi...)


Gauß wasn’t jewish and it was a Christian cemetery. The gravestone insinuates the form of a cross and the David star just symbolizes the Old Testament.


FYI Gauss's grave is in Albani cemetery, 37085 Göttingen, Germany. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albanifriedhof

But per below comments, the star is on the monument in Brunswick/Braunschweig, not on his headstone.


For 17, Gauss noticed that cos(360°/17) can be written only with elementary operations, see https://www.heise.de/imgs/18/2/1/2/3/3/6/4/siebzehneck-b95b5...

Later he proved that all n-gons with $n=2^k*p_1…*p_r$ where the p_i are Fermat-primes (2^(2^m)+1 prime, today we only know of 3, 5, 17, 257, 65537) are constructible. The opposite direction, i.e. all other n are not constructible, was only a few years later proved. Look up "Theorem of Gauss-Wantzel". I only skimmed the proof, but it seems to generalize the concept of constructing the cos of the angle with "Galois-Theory".

(edit: or see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructible_polygon)


Very cool, thanks!


I believe if things get too heated, all the parties involved should be forced to meet in person for a weekend to talk things out. I'm sure it would solve like 90% of these stupid conflicts, because people rarely get _that_ riled up when in the same room. Written communication, especially asynchronus ones like email or forums, are just unsuitable to capture all nuances of human behaviour. Someone is tired or hungry and makes a bad joke; next thing you know there's a witchhunt…

(I also don't think they should be allowed to cite things said 5 years ago as a reason to ban someone today. How could that still be relevant?)

Out of curiosity, since similar arguments come up fairly regularly: What is the appropriate time limit, do you think?


You did have any opportunity to rewrite your sentence to use any other word than f**, one that did not require self-censoring. Yet you did not. Why?


I don't have a factual answer for you (be interested in one, too), only a cheek-in-tongue one: It's like politics, the only thing you have to do to get elected is to get people to vote for you. And often the vote is only among people who _want_ to be elected (and in a position of power), massively reducing the pool of good candidates.


wow, you made hackernews turn into tumblr. Well done, great explanation.


Maybe. That drugstore chain mainly sells hygiene products. Their "main" side-business is printing photos, both digital and on film. (Yes, even in 2024 in Germany it's still possible to hand in your film in a small drugstore and have the photos developed and ready for pick-up a week later.) So I guess printing on normal paper is just a side-side business that developed naturally.

Anyway, the 10c/page (A4 b/w) is still a good estimate, at least when I looked pre-pandemic (it might've increased slightly to 12 or 15c by now). A lot of cities, especially those with a University, have dedicated small "Copyshops" where you can walk in and get your 100+ pages thesis printed and bound within 20min. So the prices and service are aimed mostly at Students. It's true colored pages are significantly more expensive than b/w, but overall that's still cheaper.


why over 8k??? The linked [dmca notice](https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2024/04/2024-04-2...) lists exactly 12 repos, not 8000. Where did they get this info from?

edit: ah, the number of 8,535 is in the beginning of the notice itself, but due to the large number they did not list all of the forks, I guess the listed ones are the only non-forked repos.
