You never get to court, that’s the point the previous comment is making.

As an individual trying to stand up to them you’re somewhere between being either completely ineffectual or making the situation worse. Having the law on your side doesn’t matter because it’s impossible for you to summon the enforcement of it fast enough to help you, assuming they even would.

A local community response that will mobilize and appear in your neighborhood in seconds is basically the only way to respond quickly with enough force for them to care about.

Yep, recent blog post about it:

I’m in one of the “certain regions” for carpenter.

Reply guy is an internet slang term for someone who excessively responds to social media posts, often in an annoying, condescending, or overly familiar or flirtatious manner.

Says Wikipedia.

What compression settings are you using for each? If you’re just accepting defaults it’s quite possible you’re comparing against a lossless webp, which is quite likely to be larger than jpeg at typical quality settings.

isthereanydeal isn’t grey market and only shows prices from resellers that operate “above board”.

You can find way cheaper than the prices listed there if you’re willing to go grey market.

You can though? mySet.values().map(mappingFunc) will create a new iterator transformed by the mapping function.

I’m currently on a crusade against lodash where I work.

Associative thinking is very normal. This is just another post in the ongoing trend of common things being called out as divergent.

So what is the mass of a byte of ‘pure’ information? And how do you derive it?

That’s all in the linked wikipedia article, but since you asked:

At room temperature, the Landauer limit represents an energy of approximately 0.018 eV (2.9×10⁻²¹ J).

That’s 1 bit, so 1 byte is eight times that, which you can plug into E=mc² to get its absurdly small equivalent mass.

It’s important(?) to note that Landauer’s Principle is not settled science and has yet to be rigorously proven, unless there’s some recent development which the comic is referencing. I haven’t checked.

No, you missed the point. See @milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee’s comment and link to Landauer’s Principle, the namesake of which is literally named in the title of the post.

TL;DR: Storing information requires a change in entropy. A change in entropy requires a change in energy. There must be a minimum non-zero amount of energy required for a given quantity of information. Energy is mass due to mass-energy equivalence. ∴ information has mass independent of its physical representation.

The former.

I had an intermediate not understand how to read a pipe-delimited text file.

It’s a different example but Super Street Fighter II for the SNES was CAD$99.99 in the 1994 Sears Wishbook which is CAD$191 in today dollars.

Jellyfin has some security issues that, depending on who you ask, are either critical vulnerabilities that make it completely unsafe to expose to the Internet or largely unconcerning for regular users.

I had exactly the same experience, at about the same time. Had been hearing good things about Plex so decided to try it out. Immediately noped out when it required me to create an account with them. Similar to you I looked around and found it to be a relatively new change.

Frankly baffling to me that anyone with the wherewithal to self-host was okay with it.

Cool. Now explain “deus vult” and the Jerusalem Cross in the context of their modern usage in North America.

There’s an edge case where you want the guys in balaclavas to show up.

Same. Didn’t even realise they were different images until after I read the text.
