they aren't, except perhaps as a counterexample of some dubious sort

Start with the newest: "Strange New Worlds". It's modern much in the way the older series aren't, but it's still very much Star Trek

for what, Bluetooth?

which adds latency btw, no bueno

most vandalized letter m in the world

also it's not a trivial task to engineer for swapable EV batteries, doing so comes with a whole host of disadvantages / compromises that don't make sense for most (I guess) consumers right now. It's not very different from the phone battery issue, except on a huge scale and with much more severe consequences if things go wrong

Can you write a website in other languages, like c# or python?

sure, as long as it compiles to javascript

you're right, we should just let the aggressors take everything, that way nobody has to die

I think part of it is that some of the Lemmy crowd came over because they were banned on reddit for being hyper-disagreeable, rude, violent lil bastards

this wouldn't be the first time it happens either

the chonk is only barely being contained

well good riddance then I guess

lol but starting a war to murder your neighbors and take their land isn't

where was the victory parade on the 4th day of this special operation?

edit: lol I just got banned from the lemmy.ml world news for suggesting that it's way past a hexbear's bed time. I guess I should've known those mods are tankies

But, you totally can? When you store all your dates as an ISO 8601 string (UTC, so with Z at the end), you can simply compare the strings themselves with no further complications, if the strings match, the dates match, if one string is less than the other, the date therein is before the other. Their lexical order is equal to their chronological order

I agree that it's a massive and unnecessary overhead that you should definitely avoid if possible, but for anything where this overhead is negligible it's a very viable and safe way of storing date and time

edit: I forgot, there's also a format that's output by functions like toUTCstring that's totally different and doesn't have any logical order, but I honestly forgot about that format because nobody in their right mind would use it

If only there was a summary of said article right here in the comment section, not even a click away

why not? assuming you're saving them all in UTC they should be perfectly sortable and comparable (before, equal, after) as strings, even with varying amounts of precision when you compare substrings. You can't really do math with them of course, but that's what I meant about how DBs interpret dates and time: if you use it do to math and then you also use your application's date library to do math, you'll likely run into situations where the two come to different answers due to timezone settings, environments, DB drivers and the like. Of course if I could rely on the DB to do the math exactly the way I'd expect it to, then having that ability is awesome, however that requires more knowledge about databases and their environments than I currently have

Personally, I would probably just store them as text, because I'm objectively a terrible programmer.

I don't know man, I'd far prefer storing a string and have whatever date library I'm using figure it out than have to deal with whatever the database thinks about dates and timestamps

it has been shown that the MATE-XT upper limb exoskeleton and the MATE-XB lumbar device can reduce users’ effort by up to 30 percent

I guess every little bit helps, but I thought they'd be shooting for something like 50+% at least

don't worry, they'll tell you all about it
