Not just usually; this is how WIMP user interfaces have worked since the 80s, regardless if you use a mouse or another device (e.g. keyboard) to scroll the viewport. It’s built into the data model of the UI toolkit.

But it’s light arranged in a specific pattern!

I feel like this would be easier to draw conclusions from if I had absolute counts rather than percentages. Was the change in the Linux share due to other platforms (Windows) increasing their numbers, or did the total number of Linux users dip and then return? The latter seems difficult to explain.

I don’t get it. How is this an alternative to NVidia, it just sounds like a way to connect more machines reliably (but those machines still have NVidia hardware)?

So what are the prime factors of 1?

But by that reasoning, 7 is not prime because you can do 7, 1*7, 1*1*7 etc.

the uniqueness constraint is why 1 is not prime.

There’s more than one way to multiply numbers to get 1?

The competition is Chinese and doesn’t give a fuck about US regulations.

That’s not greedy — it’s smart.

The people I know who bought one don’t give a shit about ethics. They stayed away from them for as long as they were socially unacceptable, but as soon as the storm blew over they saw their chance to buy one.

Just… a data point. My experience is that at least 20% of a population doesn’t care about stuff like this. They care about their own social status, but not ethics.

Every function the body has ultimately exists to maximize the chance of reproduction

Different situations. She can’t force other people to dress differently to appease her, but if they make her uncomfortable (for whatever dumb reason) she’s allowed to avoid them.

But also different situations because sex drive is possibly the strongest biological drive that we have, so even if you’re not helpless against it your brain can be distracted in a way that it won’t get from gendered clothing.

I’m not religious or devoid of self control, or even interested in a relationship with a “gym girl”. But I would still wish that the women at my gym chose to dress for function rather than to attract… whatever it is they want to attract. It gets tiresome.

That way, you can help someone else pay their bills!

Those who can’t do… teach

Up until very recently all train route planning in Sweden was done manually with huge sheets of paper and rulers. Scheduling trains is a very hard problem due to the inability for one train to pass another in many places and the constantly high congestion. Any change in the schedule affects basically the entire rail network.

In computer science it belongs to the class of “NP-hard” problems which are essentially intractable to solve optimally. There are various approximate methods that can be employed to get something that’s almost always good enough.

I think you’re strawmanning this. I didn’t say you are obligated to maximize your health. But that’s different from knowingly making yourself ill.

In Sweden we spend a lot of resources treating people for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) which is almost exclusively the result of smoking. I think it’s wrong to smoke given how much it costs fellow tax payers and how it takes away resources from people who suffer from ailments that are not a result of their actions.

That said, everyone deserves compassion and it’s also wrong not to help people who are suffering regardless of the reason. But that’s part of what makes it bad to knowingly hurt yourself - you’re imposing an obligation onto other people.

Also it’s likely to make you sick and then you become a liability to your community = immoral.

For real. I don’t get what people see in those books. Her writing is insufferable.

They are not your friend but they are also not your manager’s friend. They’re there to protect the corporation, the CEO and the board. If your manager is doing something that can get the company in legal trouble then HR can absolutely shed the manager. Especially if you demonstrate that you’re building a solid case (e.g. documenting each incident while memory is fresh).
