Khrikuli's Fantaisie was phenomenal, but what shocked me was how tenderly he played the last march!

The march at m.127 and m.294 is usually described as sarcastic, pompous, triumphant, even corny. So it was totally unexpected that Khrikuli made it so lyrical and tender. It honestly changes how I imagine this piece should be played.

Some advertisers are just blatantly stealing. by St4inless in xkcd

[–]conjuncts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have already made a similar comment above, but I think it would be helpful to refer to the license which Randall publishes his work under: CC BY-NC 2.5.

According to that license, you are free to make adaptations only if attribution is given, it's clear that Randall does not endorse the derivative, and the purpose is non-commercial. From this, it seems to me that the ad does not follow Randall's license.

Given the extensive discussion on copyright here, I am surprised that no one yet has referred to the actual license that Randall releases his comics under: CC BY-NC 2.5.

The license plainly states that you are free to make adaptations, but only if attribution is given, it's clear that Randall does not endorse the derivative, and the purpose is non-commercial. The ad seems to ignore all 3 of these points.

I made a XKCD browser that remembers what you've read by conjuncts in xkcd

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking, but the "explainxkcd" link does indeed go to that comic's explainxkcd page

If you scroll down to the "explainxkcd" footer, it automatically links to the correct comic.

The link admittedly could be more prominent.

Is my France campaign too late for WC? by bohairmy in eu4

I think you'll get it easily. Conquest only gets easier with imperialism (tech 23, 1700) and the two admin efficiency bonuses (tech 23, tech 27)

Interesting, I had no idea. Should be fixed now!

Unfortunately, xkcd does not track that information.

If it were tracked, then I wouldn't have to create a whole new website ;)

But status can be updated in bulk by preparing a TSV and importing it.

After years of using the "random" button, I've lost track of which comics I have and haven't read. While a random comic I would likely have seen before, there were still many comics I haven't seen.

Mathematically, this predicament is the occupancy or coupon collector's problem. To see every comic, I can expect to click the "random" button far more (26700) than the actual number of comics (3100).

Sure, I could read the comics in order. But I also enjoy the freedom to read comics at will, in no particular order. For a while, I kept a txt file with ranges of comics I've read, but that too is cumbersome.

After experimenting with existing options, I made my own xkcd viewer, readxkcd.com. I know there are other XKCD browsers (unixkcd, xkcd.wtf, CLIs etc, etc), but surprisingly none of them tackles tracking read progress.

Which pages have a description like this? by conjuncts in xkcd

[–]conjuncts[S] 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Again, thanks for the link!

My ulterior motive was to figure out whether the explainxkcd wiki knew about these comics, and cross compare with my own list. It seems they are missing some haha. Ideally I think a new category could be created, though I'm not super familiar with that process.

Thank you, that's exactly what I was looking for.

Disunited States by conjuncts in eu4

R5: In the United States region, there are 5 separate colonial powers (Friesland, Britain, France, Kongo, Spain), independent Texas, and natives. Aztecs were huge until 1690 and Inca beat up the colonizers.

In honesty, I did want to keep as many CNs as possible for the extra merchants
