Very much depends, not an absolutely true. Other commenter’s example is good: I can absolutely cook better steaks than all but one restaurant in a 30km radius. Pizza, sushi, most non-fish seafood? Not so.

But truly the biggest win here is that you can choose what ingredients you use, and that usually results in “better” food than the restaurant simply because it’s cooked and spiced perfectly the way you like it.

The sequels are literally just a copy paste of the original trilogy with a different skin. The prequels may not tell a great story, but at least it’s original.

Limit it per household/IP and block VPNs. You people really have no imagination.

Because the average person has no reason to always keep track of the sun and their orientation related to it.

I see, makes sense. Thank you for the explanation.

Too expensive. Most bus stations are basically just a sign, sometimes you also get an ad poster and a shelter. Bringing kiosks would imply setting up electricity and internet. When you could instead just make a phone app.

Why call them blind then? The definition of blind says 1/10 or less of normal vision. There’s no way you can read text on a phone or computer with that.

I always assumed blind people just used TTS and voice reading.

That will never, ever happen. It has a usecase nothing can replace. It’s not perfect, but you’re delusional if you think it’s ever going away. It might go away from your toothbrush and everything that doesn’t need it, but AI for eg. writing your emails is here to stay forever.

There’s supposed to be specfic icons the manufacturers can print next to the port. It’s not perfect, but at least it’s easy to know at a glance eg. whether it can double as a displayport or not and whether it can double as an input charging port or not.

Making cheap RAM is possible, it was done before. Now there’s huge demand. Surely some companies will come in and fill that demand. That’s the whole point of capitalism.

Technically Babylon and Egypt first had what could be described as a concept of zero, while India invented the modern mathematical zero.

I’ve just been using z-lib directly (also accessible theough anna’s I believe). I also use a calibre script to try and fix as many issues aa possible and have consistent formatting (eg. generate the TOC instead of using the one that comes with the book).

I’ve started using it due to some recommendation from other people on here (as opposed to z-lib, libgen) and noticed there are quite a few low-quality books that sneak in. We’re talking broken TOC, bad OCR, unclosed spans, etc… It’s obviously great as an archive, it has more than any other site, combined. But I can’t see myself using it for most books anymore. Could be a user issue though.

Doesn’t observing at the quantum level require measurments? As in you can’t see without interacting with it, thus changing its behavior?

I can’t imagine this being possible (the full sized part anyway). The less customers you have, the less options you can offer, it’s simple economics.

Perhaps what doesn’t help my case is that most of the town works for that one company where everyone has one or two of their meals at their cafeteria. Still, of the neighboring towns, none has a grocery store bigger than a corner store. The only town that does have one has almost 5000 people….

The truth is, when we did have a grocery store, everyone went to the city once a week anyway because everything is there (or they work there). So while they’re at it, they also shopped at the bigger grocery stores, leading to a decline in customers at the local one.

Right but whether they’re correct or not doesn’t depend on the name you use. Every programmer worth his name knows arrays start at offset zero even if you don’t call it that.

Depends how you see it. I live in the countryside and would hate living in the city. Yet one does not both live in the countryside AND eat without a car when the closest grocery store is 30km away. We used to have a local grocery store that hardly had anything and which unsurprisingly went out if business.

In my case, driving IS freedom. It’s the freedom to go where I want when I want without having to rely on anyone else.

Do I miss having the grocery store across the street when I lived in the city? For sure, but I sure am glad I’m back in the countryside now.

Why? I’ve worked as an embedded dev for a few years and nobody in my team cared what it was called.

That doesn’t really address what you call it. Names only really just exist to get your point across. Inexperienced devs may not know what an offset means (or why we use that), so index does the job. An experience dev knows how it works anyway, so whether you say index or offset won’t matter. By virtue of the common denominator, I simply use index everywhere.

Says who?

By definition, an index is

a number or symbol or expression (such as an exponent) associated with another to indicate a mathematical operation to be performed or to indicate use or position in an arrangement

Since the arrays offsets alao tell us about the items’s position in the array, is it not then an index?

People take these terms way too seriously. Hell, many languages have their “list” implemented as an array. What then do you call the index/offset?
