I’m German and I didn’t know we can count to 720 with our hands…

!Explanation: An exclamation mark marks factorial, and 6 factorial is 720.!<

Americans generalizing the whole of Europe again. In Germany, a large coffee is certainly not the American size, but it’s also not the small Italian size.

The fermion number conservation would be violated anyways.

Fedora supports secure boot out of the box

But I think it’s better for it to fail from expected behavior vs unexpected behavior. Your storage being full is very transparent and expected, but that a file reaches max size and starts cutting off is unexpected and would surprise a lot of people.

I myself use supercomputers and the log files can get into a lot of GB, and I would hate it if it just cut off at some point.

Well, Linux is also made for servers and super computers, and just imagine it refusing to keep logs because the file’s too large

I used to run Debian Testing and it borked my install - never had that problem on e.g. Arch. I feel like because it’s not a rolling release as the default but explicitly for developers, it’s less stable. But that might just have been bad luck.

Honestly, also the latter. If you are using hundreds of thousands of cores for over 100h, every single second counts.

It really depends on your field. I’m doing my master’s thesis in HPC, and there, clever programming is really worth it.

Also related, I had a psychology teacher with a PhD in psychology. But because in German schools, you need to teach two subjects (with the exception of the arts), he also taught physics. He was a terrible physics teacher, but a pretty good psychology one.

I do understand it differently, but I don’t think I misunderstood. I think what they meant is the physicist notation I’m (as a physicist) all too familiar with:

∫ f(x) dx = ∫ dx f(x)

In this case, because f(x) is the operand and ∫ dx the operator, it’s still uniquely defined.

That reminds me of a story my bachelor’s supervisor in astrophysics told me: One of his best PhDs applied at an insurance company. They got an Excel sheet with data that they had 1 week to analyze. All the other applicants took the whole week. He just put it in Python, solved it in a few hours, and got the job.

I’d say the $\int dx$ is the operator and the integrand is the operand.

I think you mean operator. The operand is the target of an operator.

That would be really interesting, because it would mean they either emulate the game on switch 2 even though it is a special cartridge for the switch 2 edition, or they have some kind of universal binary that works on both (which I don’t think is possible without duplicating a lot).

May I introduce you to our Lord and savior, rustc?

The EU disallowed it and Meta had to pay a fine for sharing data between Facebook and Instagram. So I hope it won’t happen.

C++: You can do everything, but with garbage syntax and ten traps to look out for™

I meant from a user perspective. Sending images doesn’t work half of the time, the search is completely useless if you have tens of thousands of messages etc. I use it every day btw.
