  • If I hand you a commit, you cannot tell which ‘branch’ it is on without searching the git history and hoping that you only get one answer. That’s a bummer if, for instance, you’re a github action and only get handed the commit. If it’s on the master branch, I want to do different things than if it’s a dev branch.

  • Only git wasn’t done in 10 days. It was very quickly able to track its own development, but it still took Linus half a year of thinking to be able to make git.

    (No, sorry, I can’t find the interview that would validate that claim.)

  • So, are there no households in those northern provinces or do they just not eat? I thought Greenland was the king of No data available.

  • I don't think it's a game publisher's problem if you haven't had a raise in 20 years.

  • I’m glad at least one person in this thread knows how inflation works. However, as I’ve recently researched, games started costing $60 in 2005, which lands us at 90$ in today’s money.

  • Lol, so as long as this bug isn’t fixed, you can just repost all images that already exist on .ml and then get banned to completely nuke them.

  • After all, most delays can directly be traced to the QA department. Wise business decision!

    • A bug in the code controlling the Therac-25 radiation therapy machine was directly responsible for at least five patient deaths in the 1980s when it administered excessive quantities of beta radiation.
    • Radiation therapy planning software RTP/2 created by Multidata Systems International could incorrectly double the dosage of radiation depending on how the technician entered data into the machine. At least eight patients died, while another 20 received overdoses likely to cause significant health problems (November 2000).
    • A Medtronic heart device was found vulnerable to remote attacks (2008-03).

  • Germany

    More like one agency in one state in Germany (Berlin acts as a city/municipality and as a state in Germany), in addition to being the capital of Germany.

  • Thankfully, my name is rarely attached to the quotes. I just build them, but it’s the sales rep name that goes on it.

    Don’t trust what you see. In my company, every change ever made on any business entity gets logged with date and author name.

  • So this is the Berlin agency of internal affairs trying to expel four people for using the forbidden slogan “from the river to the sea”, for blocking a street in pro-Palestinian protest, and for making (unspecified) anti-semitic statements. The agency also claims the ‘defendants’ were supporters of Hamas. (I put ‘defendants’ in quotes because they are not legally charged with anything.)

    Even the Berlin foreigners’ agency says expelling these individuals is not legally justifiable. Three of them are EU citizens are are therefore free to roam anywhere in the EU.

  • *Mom, I’m pretty

  • Great attention to detail!

  • Protip: Add a minor inconvenience to every line, like a trailing space or slightly misaligned indentation. That way the next guy who opens the file will automatically correct it, taking the git blame.

  • No, that’s a mistake. Incredible how many mistakes one can make in a simple derivation.

    Thanks for pointing it out.

  • What about this is “vaguely whale-looking”?

  • Observe the identities

     
        
    a / b = a × b^(-1)   (A)
    
    sqrt(a) = a ^ (1/2)  (B)
    
    a^b × a^c = a^(b+c)  (C)
    
    (a^b)^c = a^(b × c)  (D)
    
      

    and derive

     
        
      2 / sqrt(2)
    = 2 / 2^(1/2)           (B)
    = 2 × [2^(1/2)] ^ (-1)  (A)
    = 2 × 2^(1/2 × (-1))    (D)
    = 2 × 2^(-1/2)
    = 2 ^ [1 + (-1 / 2)]    (C)
    = 2 ^ (1/2)
    = sqrt(2)               (B)
    
      
  • Predatory publishing is this shit. It’s a bastardized version of the open access movement that gained traction at the turn of the millennium.

    In a nutshell: Instead of having readers pay for an article, publishers take money from researchers to publish the article. Reading it is free for everyone. Publishers are now incentivized to publish as much as possible, with no regard whatsoever for quality. Everyone with two grand on their hands can publish any article.

  • Those corporations, they torture sentient and intelligent beings for money. If it was children, what would you do?

    You talk as if we didn’t force them to sew our clothes and mine our gold and farm our crops.
