When I went to college the dot was used for the dot product (scalar product) of two vectors while the cross was used for the cross product (vector product) of two vectors.

Since in this case numbers (read: one-dimensional vectors) are multiplied, the dot product is used, which should be denoted by a dot.

(But really, if I were to write a formula in Latex I would just use the * symbol, too.)

Which China is already working on and are as far as test flights.

Of course the US and China both have some kinds of stealthy fighter jets. That does’t mean that China has what the US has (or will have).

Or does “next-generation” have a specific meaning, other than “better”?

And then they would have removed them later. Just like all the statues of Adolf Hitler, which no longer exist.

We only learn about the ones with defects, because they are the most interesting. Most people in history were fine.

One historic figure who had no known defects: Alan Turing

If left wing policies were truly more popular, why didn’t the Democrats win? The voters didn’t get Bernie, so if you can’t get your ideal option, you instead take the worse of the two remaining ones? Even if voters were only voting for damage reduction, they’d still vote Democrat in that case.

But the Democrats didn’t win. The voters don’t want damage reduction. The voters want damage.

Another upside is the easy permission management.

You can revoke network access from your password manager to reduce attack surface; you can revoke camera access from your chat app to prevent accidentaly enabling it; You can restrict an app’s file system access to prevent unwanted changes; etc.

It’s not yet fit to protect from malicious apps, but it still finds some use.

If the vast majority of Americans believed the Democrats to be less evil, the Democrats would have 90% of the vote. If that were the case, the Republicans would move ever further left, perhaps even overtaking the Democrats, until they get a chance at winning again.

The reason the parties are right wing is because the voters are right wing.

That’s why we need a communist revolution where everyone will be a happy little comrade

The reason that people don’t vote Democrats is the same reason that people won’t join your revolution.

If you found enough people to support a revolution, that’d mean you have enough people to change the system by simple voting.

Especially now with Blizzard moving their games back to Steam, running them on Linux doesn’t even require tinkering anymore.

NixOS and Guix are both very beginner-unfriendly. If you’re not very comfortable with Linux and its command line, I’d recommend against using them for personal systems.

But they would be a move to the left (coming from the current state, which is Republicans).

But apparently most American voters do not want to move left, not even an inch.

Fortunately the German constitution prevents people like you from determining others’ “right to live”.

Providing expiration notifications costs Let’s Encrypt tens of thousands of dollars per year

Not doubting them, but I don’t understand how that’s possible.

Storing the email addresses and expiration dates takes an irrelevant amount of storage space, even if they had billions of cutomers.

Sending the emails should also not cost thousands, even if a significant amount of customers regularly let their certificates expire (which hopefull isn’t the case).

So where are the tens of thousands of yearly costs coming from?

Going to court might result in an official court finding that it was indeed a nazi salute.

Are you implying that creating porn is unethical?

it’s usually a “he”

Why add this pointless sexism

Restraining order against whom? An unknown person using throwaway phone numbers?

Watch me criticize current Israeli behaviour as well as past German behaviour (as a German)

Wtf is going on in the US

There are many, many more spoiled rich kids not nearly as successful as Musk. Musk certainly is exceptionally good at managing businesses. Let’s see how good he is at (directly) influencing a government.

900 troops doesn’t seem like a lot. Does that amount really make a difference?
