Well, to some extent, yes. Of course the literal number of works you can write per minute is not, but: - someone with a good understanding will often come to a concise, clear answer while someone struggling will produce…
Not sure about that. Outside temperature above 37 were common in many highly populated areas, even before "high temperature summer" (e.g., India, Indonesia, most of Brazil, etc.). If there was an actual selection…
It wasn't really necessary to have a special lineup of laptop CPUs because the base CPU power consumption was already low. 486 were using around 4-5W, if I recall correctly. Mobile CPUs really became necessary when the…
Good point, I was trying to figure out how I would actually pronounce "féte". My main argument was that in any case, it wouldn't sound close to "fête" (or "fète"), which sound more like "faîte" in French -- as in "au…
Ok, so what did I misunderstand in OP sentence "no differences, we pronounce them all é and we don't care."? "them" is not referring at all possible accentuation of the letter e?
You pronounce "fête" as "féte" (basically, equivalent to the English "faith" without the "h" sound at the end)? To my hear these two sound very different.
Or "est" (he is) and "est" (the East) although English also has plenty of such "non-homophonic homographs"...
Considering air resistance is proportional to the cube of the speed, it would be highly surprising to not be the case.
Since when? I sincerely do not understand that point about snow. I've lived in Canada (not southern Ontario) for most of my life and everyone had (and still mostly has) FWD. 4x4 was only for people actually going off…
Nitpicking, but I don't see your four-letter word example as convincing. Thinking is the very process from which we form words or sentences, so it is by definition impossible to _not_ think about a word we must avoid.…
Yes. On a plane which is designed to be a good glider. I highly doubt a 767 is designed to be a glider. It's definitely not impossible (after all, it was done successfully!), but certainly a very difficult (and…
You're not arguing in good faith here. Which is fine, but then please stop insulting others.
They do not say it was hard. There is a difference between being hard and requiring 0.5 second more of thinking, which can and does disrupt the reading flow.
This, I absolutely agree with. Yes, there are small things you can do which (collectively) _can_ have an impact. I'm arguing against : "So you know you are killing us in so many ways, and you can't be arsed to eat less…
The thing is, I'm not arguing against the fact (yes, the fact) that doing this would beneficial. I'm saying that stating how "simple" and "reasonable" are these actions is missing the point. Again, not a personal…
By this logic, having a car in 2025 is "just completely unreasonable". Taking plane in 2025 is "just completely unreasonable". Use of AC unless life threatening circumstances is "just completely unreasonable". Wasting…
In Canada, I see the "new" name along with Gulf of Mexico. Seems like a weird take. Every sovereign island should start naming it a different way, I'd like to see if Google would display 27 names for the same Gulf...
That's not the same thing. A more adequate comparison would be to say that you promised 30 people they can have a burger, but can only produce 5 burgers per minute. If everyone show up at exactly the same time, you…
It is trivial and they've done it for ages. It's called reinsurance. Basically (_very_ basically, there's more to it) the insurance company insures itself against large claims.
To be fair, there are actually two grocery stores at walking distance, but I'm nitpicking here. I know this argument very well: "when you have a car, you can spot rebates week after week and reduce your grocery bill!"…
You know, that's the funny thing, it doesn't have to be like a Judge Dredd world. I live in what we can describe as a suburb: large streets with parking on both sides, 2000 m² single-family properties, ample space for…
The only issue with this comment is that it is _not_ what AP means for object detection... https://www.v7labs.com/blog/mean-average-precision This is definitely not a coin flip, actually somehow close to what a human…
For most usages, you don't need to write the code. Sometimes buff out rough edges for your specific application, but in my 12 years in academia, I think I've only really _written_ Latex twice.
Now, this is a true phase-of-the-moon bug: http://ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/jargon300/phaseofthemoo...
I think scale is the key here. You can do that within a family, you might do that within a village, perhaps in some perfect circumstances you will be able to do that within a group of a few 1000's people, but never at…
