The word epidemic does not imply contagiousness, not in the medical context and therefore definitely not outside of it.
You've used reasonable twice, but haven't explained how it's reasonable.
So let me get this right: It's okay for a blind person to write content about accessibility being trash, but it's not okay for a privileged person without disabilities to share that content. I'm not sure how that's…
Aren't discrete and discreet homophones?
I'm very confused, the author talks about having to charge a device instead of replacing batteries and blames it on Lithium-ion batteries, instead of doing the sensible thing and blaming it on devices with…
> Q is indeed dense in R, but firstly it’s very clear that there isn’t an equal number of them because rational numbers are a subset of the real numbers and there exists at least one irrational number (I pick “e”) that…
I don't see how you could interpret "a != b != c" as equivalent to "not (a == b == c)" in the first place. In the first expression a doesn't equal b and b doesn't equal c (no restriction on a and c). In the second…
> It may look obvious to you, but someone will interpret “the same value” as literally the same. But it is literally the same? Numbers are immutable, so there is a performance optimization where you can avoid using…
Sorting your data before searching it will only pay off if you need to search multiple things. If instead you need to search for one specific thing then going through things linearly is O(n) while sorting and searching…
TeX and Metafont have version numbers that are approaching pi and e respectively, so the sensible way is to read these as decimals.
Depends on your shell, if you execute `which -a cd` it will show you /usr/bin/cd in addition to the built-in command. (zsh has which as a built in command, apparently bash doesn't, which causes the different output).…
IANAL, but I think the right comparison for standby power usage would be the power usage in sleep, not in idle.
bc and dc are arbitrary precision. By using -l you are specifying that it should keep track of 20 decimal digits (plus you are importing some extra stuff). You can try higher precision by setting the scale. $ echo…
When they tell you "the price is low if A is the case, and high if A is not the case" and you say "I'll take the lower price" and A is not the case then you are deceiving them.
Imagine the expansion rate starts out at 2. Then 1 day later it's 1.5, after 1 more day it's 1.25 and after another day it's 1.125. Hopefully you can see that if this series continues then the expansion rate is always…
1 januari toegevoegd sounds like you're adding the date. If you're going to write it as a sentence it ought to have something like "Op 1 januari", and in that case it actually doesn't matter whether you put the…
You need to take a closer look at the Pages sidebard, there is for example this https://ruby-doc.org/3.2.2/syntax/pattern_matching_rdoc.html
It doesn't make sense at all, if you see them as a sequence (which is wrong, sets are not ordered) then after taking the first 3 elements the odd numbers are at 5 and the naturals are only at 3, clearly the odd numbers…
Consider the following sets: the primes (let's call it P), the odd numbers (let's call that O), the odd numbers except for 3 (and let's call this O3). Using your definition O would be equal in size to P, P would be…
Unless state boundaries suddenly become convex it's definitely impossible. Ignoring state boundaries you have the issue that you need approximately equal numbers of population. It's possible that you can still tile the…
What you're describing seems to be the D'Hondt method which favors larger parties, not smaller parties.
According to wikipedia even shakespeare parodied the style of subtitles in "Twelfth Night, or What You Will", so again much older than 1929.
The first element of an array is usually indexed by 0 (usually here means in most modern programming languages). The second element is usually indexed by 1 etc. So the eight bit in a byte is indexed by 7, but that…
It doesn't matter for you personally, but it kind of matters globally. If everyone hits that same inefficiency at the same time then there needs to be a lot of extra capacity in the electric grid that can be spun up…
That first quote (as well as the rest of the article) supports the view that people tend to underestimate the usefulness of procedures they are not yet using and especially to overestimate their own abilities. It also…
