A phone call? Like… the original use of a phone?

I’ve been using an ad blocker for at least 15 years. I’m not about to stop now. I can’t imagine paying only to see less relevant ads…
Dang, I kind of want one of those glass dragons. That sounds awesome
That’s kinda fucked up. Almost sounds like laws targeting homeless people living out of their cars. And for anyone else, why shouldn’t I be able to just tour around and look at sights without necessarily stopping anywhere? That’s basically what I do every weekend for fun.
Interesting that strtol
in C does that. I’ve always explicitly passed in base 10 or 16, but I didn’t know it would auto-detect if you passed 0. TIL.
Yep. Ubiquiti sells wifi 7 APs and the latest phones support it as of some time last year I think. The big new feature is 6GHz and the ability to automatically hop between frequencies (You can use 6, 5 and 2.4GHz all at once). Latency has been great, and I easily get 1Gbps+ in the same room as my wifi.
Well, you’re right. I wasn’t getting it, but I’ve also never seen any piece of software that would treat a single leading zero as octal. That’s just a recipe for disaster, and it should use 0o116
to be unambiguous
(I am a software engineer, but was assuming you meant it was hardcoded to parse as octal, not some weird auto-detect)
Well shit, my zip code starts with a 9.
You have a very twisted view of the world. No one was “allowed” to shoot Abe Lincoln or JFK. It was very much not allowed, but murderers don’t usually care about what’s allowed and do it anyway.
Damn, I didn’t even see that until you pointed it out. I would have died.
Hahaha, that hardware is built to be as cheap as possible so they can make money on this scam of a product. I doubt the people making it even know what a TPM is from everything else we’ve seen.
No, there’s definitely a science to this. It’s the same reason sandwiches taste better if you cut them in a triangle. The sharp points make for the perfect bite size.
A quadratic function is just one possible polynomial. They’re also not really related to big-O complexity, where you mostly just care about what the highest exponent is: O(n^2) vs O(n^3)
.
For most short programs it’s fairly easy to determine the complexity. Just count how many nested loops you have. If there’s no loops, it’s probably O(1)
unless you’re calling other functions that hide the complexity.
If there’s one loop that runs N times, it’s O(n)
, and if you have a nested loop, it’s likely O(n^2)
.
You throw out any constant-time portion, so your function’s actual runtime might be the polynomial: 5n^3 + 2n^2 + 6n + 20
. But the big-O notation would simply be O(n^3)
in that case.
I’m simplifying a little, but that’s the overview. I think a lot of people just memorize that certain algorithms have a certain complexity, like binary search being O(log n)
for example.
We’re talking about legally, not practically. Obviously copying movies is physically possible.
Dang, I can’t even be mad with a face like that.
Pretty sure at that range they’re dead no matter what. May as well crack one last joke.
That doesn’t seem worth it when you can fit that amount of storage in about 20 L with lithium ion cells (think a small PC case), or something like 40 L if you used sodium ion cells, which are looking like a new alternative.
Concrete offgassing of CO2 is already a big contributor to greenhouse gasses, so I can’t imagine this battery version is improving things there. You’d probably have to wire your whole basement with electrodes to even access the stored energy.
You can search for them, but I think the one I have is similar to a Uni Kuru Toga pencil. I don’t write as much as I used to, but it’s awesome for taking notes.
Based on a world population of 8 billion, that would be roughly 0.00000000000000125% of a person. And is also not even representable in a 64 bit float so I had to do this math in my head (Calculator just says 0)
