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

Note that it speaks of the “official version” in the next sentence, which seems to me like there will be inofficial versions which requires a more permissive license

But we’ll see

Yeah, that’s confusing to read. A hashset can only contain at most one of each cheese kind, in c++20 you can write inventory.contains(cheeseName), before that you had to use .count or inventory.find(cheeseName) != inventory.end() or something like that

Exactly, raw pointers are very rarely the way to go

Noo! There will never be another like him :(

Well, that happens sometimes

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

What does type() mean here?

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

Tomatoes are vegetables.

log_10(size of observable universe / planck length) = 61.74… so like 63 digits of precision for everything are enough

If you think “more humans” is the only thing you can contribute to society, you have failed not biologically, but in every other aspect

Is there a way to view webtoon comics without logging in?

If it’s networking related, I like “Layer 8 Issue”

I originally only had one, but apparently my lemmy client parses markdown wrong

Does Javascript have anything to say about promises that are never resolved/rejected? Is that something that happens?

Because “weekly” is kind of a fraction (1/week), and 2/week and 1/(2week) are very different, but both can be pronounced very similarly. Read kind of like (2-week)ly and 2-(weekly). Which is why both meanings are used, so you need to use context to disambiguate, or just guess if context isn’t available.

This is also the reason why in this thread people say “semiweekly” is the other option, but they don’t all use the same other option. You have the same, but inverse problem there.

Once you have the idea, seeing that it works if often easy. But coming up with ideas like that can be really hard, which is why gauss was the only one in his class who got it. There is no general method, you just have to think about stuff for a while, but you can get better with practice. And it feels really good when you prove something for yourself, even if it’s relatively straightforward. You can just try to prove some simple things yourself, if you want, the advanced college courses are just for proving really advanced stuff.

I can get a 10TB HDD for under 250€, and there are some technical advantages. For example, if you have an ssd lying around unpowered, it will lose data much quicker than magnetic storage
