Sounds like you are maintaining and extending your own frame of reference. I feel like a note that is never read again is not necessarily a wasted effort.

#2 on 'Infinite with Timer Limit' on the second attempt where I didn't get trolled by broken video.

Found some absolute bangers from unexpected countries. Better than any ML algorithm in terms of recommending interesting music.

Feedback:

* Broken videos are a problem.

* I don't have time to report broken video during play.

* I often wanted to check out songs, but no time to open/save them during play. I want some way to look up tracks after a session.

* The pop-up after each guess is animated. Animations are resource intensive and take up too much time. Do you need a pop-up at all?

* I want to (clearly) see my HP during the game.

* As someone else mentioned, the video images often give away the answer. Picture of Shiva? Probably Sanskrit.

Romanticism, that sweet youthful foolishness. Living tragically can be beautiful, and lead to deep despair.

Well written but too hostile.

> Is trusting those sources really an acceptable basis for any autonomous individual to proceed?

You yourself are awefully fond of basing elaborate narratives on dubious sources, which is fine, but why then stoop to high-school debate club level gaslighting like "Ultimately, this is an epistemological question - what do we know? And the only things one can say one knows, is stuff you have personally verified.", unless this is satire?

You gonna tell them if he steals cookies from the cookie jar? I see your point but I ask where you draw the line.

No, they don't have such a right, but everyone has the right to call him out publicly. The key point, for me, is that vengeance is evil. Cheaters should be exposed but not destroyed. Go the full mile to get cheaters banned from competitions and make sure that the record is set straight. Make sure that past winnings and glory is returned and nullified, and leave it at that.

I don't see why this is downvoted. Seems like a solid argument, even though I don't agree.

I disagree with the downvotes. Your first edit does a lot to clarify your position, but could you expand on it?

I really appreciate this comment, it was exactly what I was hoping for.

This is not true at all, in the domain of computer science there are no concrete examples of this.

You are not speaking to a y'all. Are you alluding to a dualist world-view?

You mean the common civilian in Ukraine, surely?
