The song “As good a reason” from Paris Pamola is kinda based in the same way.

But what does that mean?

Unless your encoding has a special value that, by definition, is euler’s constant :p

Rocks are literally brighter than that person :p

Fun that this is brought up at this time. Just a few days ago I tried to program the programable thermostat of my grandma. I am convinced that the thing has a bug making it impossible to select a schedule… It has a lot of buttons and a screen, but due to a minuscule mistake in the interface it’s no better than a temperature slider…

Does a microkernel matter for anyone but nerds? Maybe companies that make variants of the OS?

Those are things that regulate the tension in the overhead cables on train tracks. With the variation of temperature cables tend to contract/expand and this systems allows the cables to do so freely with a constant tension provided by the weights.

I understand that. My question was: why is a primary needed in the first place? It makes sense with first past the post, but with ranked choice voting and instant runnoff, I don’t get why. Does the US constitution require state to organise primaries?

Why not simply ranked choice voting? why the open primary?

They just found rocks that are naturally hot and boiled water with it… Engineering is a scam.

Honnestly those razor-blades are a scam and I spend a lot less money since I switched to safety razors. A bit more technical to use but totally worth it I think

A concentration camp is a form of internment camp for confining political prisoners or politically targeted demographics, such as members of national or minority ethnic groups, on the grounds of state security, or for exploitation or punishment.

Tigers with horns 😨😨 ?

Can someone explain how portability is still an issue? Are there no cross-platform API and libraries that allow developpers to write portable apps?

I can’t unsee it now :(

SEO breaks the web, writer was a hero :)

1, a, 3 ?

(I just find it weird people write their 2s as ‘a’…)

I don’t want to diminish the talent of the historian in vain but past performance is not always an indicator of being good at predictions, he might just have been lucky in a completely random guess 9 times out of 10. Given the amount of historians making such predictions it is not unlikely that such an historian exists and it would be fairly easy to mistake their success for talent.

I don’t know where I found this but I found a scheme somewhere to scam some investors: Find a large list of potential victims. Tell one part of it that you predict that market will do A, and the other part that the market will do B. Repeat the process several times, selecting only the investors to whom you’ve always told the correct prediction. Eventually you will have a handfull of people who have “solid proof” that you are a visionnary and you can scam them.

Again, I absolutely do not mean to say that this particular historian is bad. This story just reminded me of these ideas and I wanted to share.
