I like your doubled use of "a" and wish you a long and prosperous life.

Have a look at https://matrix.org

bash's autocomplete fails (at least with default settings), but e.g. zsh can figure out what you mean

It doesn't necessarily need to be 4-dimensional https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinor

Someone needs to maintain them for them to keep working. Nobody else is willing to do that anymore, but you can still volunteer as a maintainer. If you don't, it's as much your fault as anyone elses.

They're giving you shit about complaining about a nice and working color picker for no reason except that somebody made something similar quite a while ago. Nobody cares about your color picker, you are the only one bringing it up.

That's not true. Pihole voids DNS requests, not the actual HTTP responses. When trying to look up an ad, it tells your devices to look at an unassigned ip address which will then not respond with anything.

This may be a stupid question but is your video cable plugged into the gpu or into the motherboard?

What do you need RDP for? I did everything i ever needed to do remotely via SSH (I mean this as a genuine question, not that we shouldn't have better RDP support)

What does type() mean here?

The effective vibe is much more important than any underlying biology.

Tomatoes are vegetables.

A piece of software that is the core of each operating system which handles tasks like talking to hardware, scheduling tasks, allocating resources etc.

Do I still have the gun?

I love how the text seems to be right from the time where the symbol was already abstract, but it was still used as an et ligature instead of a standalone symbol

your first line is correct, but while it looks like 1 (and it might be under different conventions), evaluating according to standard rules (left to right if not disambiguated by pemdas) yields

2(2+2)/2(2+2) = 2(4)/2(4) = 2*4/2*4 = 8/2*4 = 4*4 = 16

Using implicit multiplication in quotients is weird and really shouldn't happen, this would usually be written as 8/(2*(2+2)) or 8/2*(2+2) and both are much clearer

Your second argument only works if you treat 2(2+2) as a single "thing", which it looks like, but isn't, in this case

I think the problem is that the algorithm's optimisation target is not to entertain people, but to keep them watching, which can cause you to feel bad and still click videos. In the same way other addictions work.

IMO one of the best new features yet

I have ~200 games in my steam library, all of which run by pressing "play" in steam. I may just accidentally like games that run on linux, but running through 150 pages of forums definitely isn't the norm nowadays

I've seen enough devices with the usb ports mounted upside down, for whatever strange reason. Also sometimes you want to plug something in without looking, this is much easier with USB-C

As the volume of the room is finite, even "exponential" or worse search algorithms will complete in constant time.

Are you sure? The way I understand it, ray marching is not something that can really replace ray/pathtracing, it's mainly used for rendering signed distance fields which is cool if you want to draw fractals and stuff, but not very efficient for classical geometry

In your case I would just start by copying a full setup someone else made and then customizing it, starting from scratch always takes a lot of effort. Reddit's unixporn was great for that, the alternatives on lemmy are sadly still a little empty.

You can also use revanced to patch your own api key into Infinity and use that instead

Almost all programs use both 32bit and 64bit integers, sometimes even smaller ones, if possible. Being memory efficient is critical for performance, as L1 caches are still very small.

Garbage collection is a feature of programming languages, not an OS. Almost all native linux software is written in systems programming languages like C, Rust or C++, none of which have a garbage collector.

Swap is used the same way on both linux and windows, but kicking toolbar items out of ram is not actually a thing. It needs to be drawn to the screen every frame, so it (or a pixel buffer for the entire toolbar) will kick around in VRAM at the very least. A transfer from disk to VRAM can take hundreds of milliseconds, which would limit you to like 5 fps, no one retransfers images like that every frame.

Also your icon is 1.1Mbit not 1.1MB

I have a gentoo install that uses 50MB of ram for everything including its GUI. A webbrowser will still eat up gigabytes of ram, the OS has literally no say in this.

Because I need a browser.

If you let it run through once, it should cache the compiled shaders so it will recompile only after the game or your gpu drivers are updated

I'm also unable to see the difference directly, but everything just feels more snappy. If you can't feel it, maybe you have some extra latency from somewhere else

a fallen apart burrito is still tasty

That's only how it feels, as you only notice it at all on people where it is "obvious". And even then, people get it wrong, cis people have been harassed by transphobes often enough. Just be nice.

Based on these numbers alone, anywhere from 0 to 341 respondents could be both straight and cis

Well landau notation only describes the behaviour as an input value tends to infinty, so yes, every real machine with constant finite memory will complete everything in constant time or loop forever, as it can only be in a finite amount of states.

Luckily, even if our computation models (RAM/TM/...) assume infinite memory, for most algorithms the asymptotic behaviour is describing small-case behaviour quite well.

But not always, e.g. InsertionSort is an O(n^2) algorithm, but IRL much faster than O(n log n) QuickSort/MergeSort, for n up to 7 or so. This is why in actual programs hybrid algorithms are used.

Hey, I used to use that before switching to sway a few years ago. It isn't hard at all: There is not a single line in my config concerned with monitors, it just works by default.

Noo! There will never be another like him :(

It's weird because usually the people writing the expressions want to communicate clearly, and stuff like 1/2x is not immediately clear to everyone, so they write the 1/2 as a fraction.

The same expression on both sides of the division sign only reduce to one if they actually bind to the division sign, which is rarely an issue, but that is exactly the thing that is in question here. I think it's clear that 1 + 1/1 + 1 is 3, not 1, even though 1+1 = 1+1.

But as you said, of course, the evaluation order is just convention, you can just as well write everything in https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_Polish_notation

But be careful, you can pretty easily break stuff by messing up fstab

Let me quote from the article:

"In mathematics, the distributive property of binary operations is a generalization of the distributive law, which asserts that the equality x*(y+z) = x*y + x*z is always true in elementary algebra."

This is the first sentence of the article, which clearly states that the distributive property is a generalization of the distributive law, which is then stated.

Make sure you can comprehend that before reading on.

To make your misunderstanding clear: You seem to be under the impression that the distributive law and distributive property are completely different statements, where the only difference in reality is that the distributive property is a property that some fields (or other structures with a pair of operations) may have, and the distributive law is the statement that common algebraic structures like the integers and the reals adhere to the distributive property.

I don't know which school you went to or teach at, but this certainly is not 7th year material.

Pemdas puts division and multiplication on the same level, so 34/22 is 12 not 3. Implicit multiplication is also multiplication. It's a question of convention, but by default, it's 16.

Not really cylinders, but toruses. Disks with extent are cylinders.

That would be extremely funny
