Give people the choice. Especially when sending graphics with small text, the loss of resolution is annoying

If you are standing in a closed box, there is no experiment you can make that tells you whether that box is standing on earth, or is on a rocket in space accelerating at 9.81m/s²

This has a bunch of interesting implications about the nature of spacetime

It certainly can be

Golf courses come to mind

Or cruise ships

homo homo sapiens sapiens

At the end of the story, Kushmaro is offered the task of pressing a button to denonate a building.

Cool, he’s no longer a journalist under international law then.

It’s also likely a war crime.

Monosodium glutamate held a rally?

It is an interesting theory, for sure. Instead of countless 3-dimensional particles, you have a single (or very few) 4-dimensional objects. You can imagine it like a sheet of fabric that is our present, with everything above the sheet being the future, everything below the past. When you want to sew a thread (our electron) through the sheet, you need to pierce the fabric, but to do it again, you first need to piece it the other way, giving you a positron. You can create or destroy arbitrary many of these, but you need create or destroy one of each every time. More interestingly, it is exactly determined which two will annihilate each other, as the allegorical loop of thread gets pulled tighter and tighter until it gets pulled though the sheet. The universe would be deterministic.

I’m sure there’s a myriad of contradictions to modern QM and particle physics, but it’s fun to think about nonetheless

Not true, topolgically the route

left nostril -> sinus -> right nostril

is another hole. So is

any nostril -> sinus -> mouth.

ears have the eardrum, so they don’t count.

For the more formal definitions of topological holes, look up Betti numbers, I think there’s a VSauce video about it? For humans, the number of holes is at least 3 (but I’m sure I’m missing many more holes). Unless you’re missing the entire septum.

I’m sure most people have more (topological) holes than one

Both nostrils, for example

I try to console myself by realizing they’ll lose that fight too. And the next. And the next. The road will be bumpy and full of struggles, and people will suffer while we walk it, but in the people eternally looking backwards can not win. They fight for the past, but we are the future.

I heard that argument before, several times. But always by bad faith people online who don’t care about indigenous issues except when it suits their talking points

Actually that’s wrong, I’ve also heard it by a faroese person defending their traditional whale hunts

This one’s actually funny though, Bieber is beaver in German

of course they’re not a drop-in replacement, as the cli is getting a major redesign, but as per your source

nix shell and nix develop are still experimental, so nix-shell is sticking around despite doing the same thing

it seems like they are made to fulfill the same purpose

Interesting, didn’t know the history of the command. But that post confirms my understanding, that nix shell/develop are the new replacements for nix-shell, with nix shell for temporary package installs and nix develop for debugging and developing

oh right, block quotes~

thx :3

Don’t copilot anything longer than a function of about 15 lines. That way you can quickly see if it made mistakes. Ensure it works, move on to the next.

And only do that for boring, repetitive work. The tough challenges and critical parts you’re (for now) better off solving yourself.

Alright, fair enough. The Socratic method I know and can respect. I still wouldn’t call it epistemology, but at least I know what you mean now c:
