They’re faster on the charge, but bikes are incredibly efficient. Over a day a person on a bike will travel a lot further than one on horseback.

So better idea, rather than knights on bikes… bike mounted dragoons!

I remember reading an article a few years back about physics undergraduates who didnt know how to use a computers file system. They could learn, but these are smart likely at least fairly tech inclined kids and they didnt know how to navigate folders on a computer at 18.

Because its a comparison, no one cares how much energy playing a video uses compared to heating your house on may the 5th as opposed to december the 12.

That name comes from typesetting errors rather than factual mistakes (and is also a holdover from the pre-computer era when spell checking wasnt a thing)

Yes, averages are a thing.

it actually is an enlightening comparison when you dig into it. It’s saying that the energy required to power one play of a song is 4e5*365/5e9 of the energy to heat a home for one day. That comes out to about 0.3%, i.e. if you watch a three minute youtube video three times and do absolutely nothing else that day but heat your house (dont use any other electricity, dont eat anything, dont travel anywhere) you increase your energy usage by a total of 1%

Israel didnt exist for about 1900 out of the last 2000 years…

Its very much the same demographic as early reddit: male, 20s/30s EU/NA, into tech and left leaning to very left wing.

More Fortran than C, but its the same for any language doing those sorts of array mathematics, they will be calling compiled versions of blas and lapack. Numpy builds up low level highly optimised compiled functions into a coherant python ecosystem. A numpy array is a C array with some metadata sure, but a python list is also just a C array of pointers to pyobjects.

Even in python you can have control of what types of numbers are used under the hood with numpy arrays (and chances are if you are using floats in any quantity you want to be using numpy). I would be very surprised if array([1,2,3], dtype=uint8) == array([1,2,3], dtype=int16) gave [False, False, False]. In general I think == for numbers should give mathematical equivalence, with the understanding that comparing floats is highly likely to give false negatives unless you are extremely careful with what you are comparing.

But how far should that be taken should 8 == 8 return false because one is an unsigned int and the other is signed? Or 0.0 == 0.0 where they are floats and doubles? You can make a case for those due to a strong type system but it would go against most peoples idea of what equality is.

I’m really not sure what point you are trying to make. The only way I understand the OP’s statement is about fuck the (PoW raping and murdering) war criminals. We can all agree with that despite Israel’s resulting genocidal reprisals cant we?

dont you think specifying war criminals already differentiates between them and innocent civilians?

Yup, im pretty sure a ceasefire on the 2022 borders was possible any time Putin wanted.

Ah yes, I remember the 80s when the British state turned Ireland into an open air prision and started systematically starving the whole population, raiding aid convoys and destroying the infrastructure in retaliation for terrorist attacks in the UK. A totally sane and not at all unhinged comparison.

If you read the thread they were using google dns to get around ISP blocks. They had set it up for ethernet but not for wifi (i presume they had already set it up fpr windows). Not using the service you want but havent set up is not an OS problem.

… Thats someone having a problem with being given an incorrect certificate for a website because their ISP was blocking the website they were trying to access. Even though its on a linux support forum its neither a linux nor firefox issue.

But it seems you think the civilian casualties give Hamas Israel the right to do what they did and Israel Gazans just should take it and not respond. If this is what you think definitely disagree. It’s ok if you don’t believe me. All I can do is say what I’m doing and you take it however you want.

Why is that not equally valid?

Im sorry but reasonably obscure? I think its complete trash and dont understand why people seem to love it so much but its huge.

I mean yes? If a doctor feels that a child is being put at risk by a parent’s actions they following safeguarding protocols, that’s not controversial is it? There’s nothing there that says anyone who continues with unregulated treatments is/must be at risk.
