The model was broken by publishers, not consumers. Releasing early access without an actual roadmap or intention to ever release fully has become was too normal. So of course early access has lost its meaning

So if you take the stairs down you descend into the urethra? I don’t like this implication

People take that shit seriously. If I remember right discussion of it was even banned on the LessWrong forums because they considered it an information hazard.

Algorithm: a specific step-by-step procedure for solving a problem or accomplishing some end

Software is full of algorithms.

I know there is also the recent meaning where “algorithm” stands for recommender systems and algorithmic curation, but I expect lawmakers to be a little more precise in their wording.

That island takes up so much mindeshare for many millions of people. Of course someone would spoof their GPS position to propose a PokéStop or Gym there, just for the fun of it.

The “Lite” version is what gorhill made to at least work with Manifest v3 as well as possible, though he does not like that he is limited to Googles filtering framework with it.

the 2nd one is a scam that google never tried to remove

It’s a little more complicated. uBlock was the original name, gorhil handed it off when he felt the maintenance burden became too high. Then he forked it to make his own uBlock Origin version.

At some point later uBlock was bought up by the AdBlock people, who in turn were later bought by the AdBlock Plus people.

So it’s not a scam exactly, more like an inbred sideline of the royal family.

I hope the supreme court doesn’t backstab them yet again

any CompSci grad I’ve worked with couldn’t write code for shit

Damn, that sounds pretty bad.

We had tons of math and theoretical work too, but we also programmed a fair amount: We had to write a renderer in one class, a compiler in another, various Android apps in a third, and in one elective I took we wrote a micro kernel OS as well.

Density comes into it if we are measuring buoyancy. The weight of the displaced water is equal to the weight of the buoyant object, and the ratio of volume submerged vs above water should give a way to determine density, but I don’t have the precise method in my head right now.

However assuming all you want is the volume, you simply need to fully submerge the object (by applying enough downward force if its density is too low), and the displaced volume is equal to the objects volume. The displaced water will have to flow to the top of the container, so by measuring the rise in water level and multiplying with the base area of your container you can get it easily.

Just make sure you don’t accidentally also measure your hand if you’re pushing down the sphere.

A0 is a square meter. Its sides are self similar, such that the ratio of long to short edge stays the same when you cut one in the middle, and thus create a new long and short edge.

Each cut produces two sheets of the next Ax number, so A4 is four times halved compared to A0, or a sixteenth of a square meter.

That property of being able to halve is achieved with a ratio of the square root of 2, so unfortunately the measurements in absolute numbers get pretty odd.

Hm I don’t know, this feels a little like a fig leaf to justify their grand rhetoric about an “economic d-day”.

It’s like they want to sell voters on “look how crazy that was we even brought down the hammer on Egyptians who were sanction busting!” even though it’s barely anything, and specifically nothing relating to any powerful players that really matter.

I assumed the blonde girl was were when the teacher came home, but then the meal prep confused me for a moment.

I thought that implied she was making meals for a were during the monthly change. But it seems she was making human meals for when she herself was changed and would be unable to cook.

That would be the funniest outcome, the entire bubble pops because the idiots in charge still have not figured out how a supply chain works, or what the effects of tariffs are.

I don’t think that’s news here. Before Trump became relevant we’ve had Christoph Blocher already, who is pretty Trump-like (right wing populist using racist anti-immigration rhetoric).

Luckily we don’t have a presidential system, nor one with a prime minister, so the highest he could and did reach was just being part of the seven person executive council.

That council is elected by parliament, which did not confirm him for a second term. He was in it from 2004-2007 (our executive council terms align with calendar years).

PS: It’s Switzerland, with a t

I think the original challenge was that you must choose one guard to pose your one question to. Not one question to both guards.

I haven’t been following any crypto for years, but isn’t burning the pre-mined tokens the bare minimum to keep up appearances?

If you don’t do at least that, do people even go for your shitcoin?

Precisely. Smoother than the finest silks.

Yeah it sounds weird, right? Microsoft also has in the minimum requirements that it needs 20 GB of storage, which seems incredible to me. Maybe they are expecting companies to strip out more before embedding it in devices.

Anyway, for our purposes it seems Windows 10 IoT Enterprise is missing only very few things. I believe the Microsoft Store, Xbox App and Cortana are not on there. Supposedly you can add them back if you need.

But since I converted an existing Windows 10 Pro install, I even kept those (not that I want them…), and I’m still getting the security updates.
