Don't forget the preservatives!

I, on the other hand, enjoy all-natural pickled vegetables, which are just regular vegetables immersed in water, ~~sodium chloride, acetic acid & trace flavors


chemicals which act as preservatives for the vegetables~~ sea salt and vinegar.

Yeah, it seems that "your meme is kinda gatekeepy" is a pretty good way to start some "spirited discussions."

I get that it's a meme, but what's the problem? I'm vegetarian/flirt with veganism; it's purely for moral/ethical/environmental reasons.

Indian food is delicious. An Impossible burger on a pretzel bun dripping with grilled onions, avocado, vegan aioli and mustard with a side of steak fries? That's also delicious, in my opinion.

Meat is delicious, and that's not at all incompatible with my reasoning for being vegetarian.

And yet the Titans of Industry tended to support Clinton over Trump: https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2016/10/25/donald-trump-a-billionaire-shunned-by-the-very-rich

In this case I would have preferred the outcome of the billionaire-backed candidate winning.

I think it's "indefinite" not "undefined" (at least in English).

The reason it doesn't matter/is only used for indefinite integrals is just that it gets subtracted out when you evaluate at the limits of integration, so it always goes away (but it's still there in the antiderivative).

(x1+c)-(x0+c) = x1-x0

He sort of did


he agreed to allow a single member to bring forth a motion to vacate. Prior to that it required a majority of one party.

Of course you're right, that's not how consent works in the colloquial way.

I think it's common for 4sp transmissions. 5sp less so since it makes more sense to put 5 and R on the same side of the H (unless it's a dogleg 5sp).

It's at a much, much larger scale** than that


our local group is collapsing in on itself, and it's ~10M lightyears in diameter.

** talking about length scales only makes sense in reference to the specifics


two bananas separated by 10M lightyears, with no other matter nearby, would (I'm guessing) be expanded away, but a cluster of galaxies will not.

Is the dotfile overhead of a DE substantially more than any other program? Is there a particular conflict that you're thinking of?

For a multiuser system it can be great to have multiple DEs or WMs.

I think the advice should be taken to heart here


you're dealing with a userspace problem but you're trying to get the kernel to make it all better.

You've already mentioned the two big things, compressed RAM and swap; optimizing userspace (or paying for more RAM) may be the only option at some point.

If you want to get creative, is there a reason you can't use a local computer for some of these services? An old raspberry pi or similar could potentially run some of your services. You could run some containers on your home server and call it a day. Quick search turned up this https://www.linuxserver.io/blog/routing-docker-host-and-container-traffic-through-wireguard

As a general rule, if you set out to design an experiment to show that light is a wave (or a particle), it will behave as a wave (or a particle). The more fun thing is to show that it behaves as both, which can be done by utilizing sensitive detectors and exploiting interference patterns.

[–] qjkxbmwvz 2 points 2 years ago

I think the best way of thinking about it is that it's neither. Vaguely speaking, "quantum stuff" can be described very well by math, and this math has some elements of "waveness" (think wave equations, interference) and "particleness" (think ladder operators or maybe position eigenstates). But that doesn't mean it's one, the other, or even both


it's described by some math, and that math is agnostic as to what you call it.

In our macroscopic experience it's easy to divide the world into these two convenient buckets, but the reality is different.

Personally I think this weirdness is exploited by popsci to get more clicks, but maybe that's just my jaded opinion after years of grad school...
