No, it’s about your relationship to that person. Are you on friendly terms? Are they comfortable around you? Do you have some kind of established rapport?
Or are you a complete stranger making a weird comment about another strangers physical appearance out of nowhere?
Wow that’s interesting! Gotta be at least in the running for the rarest Linux distro ever
I ran Ubuntu for a couple of years, and then I switched to PopOS because I didn’t like the direction that Ubuntu was going.
imo Pop takes everything that made Ubuntu great and makes it better. It’s not bleeding edge though, but it is stable if that’s what you’re looking for.
I recently made the switch over to an Arch based distro for the first time ever (Garuda Linux is the distro) and I’ve absolutely loved that change too. I feel like Garuda at least, I can’t speak for all Arch based distros, but Garuda is very user friendly, sleek with KDE apps including Plasma, and very powerful. I like to game on my laptop and have definitely noticed some framerate increases after switching to Garuda.
Ubuntu should have keyboard shortcuts in the settings panel. You can go through and change them manually to match what you expect from MacOS.
I do find that everything related to Python is especially badly documented and/or maintained. Maybe I’m just not looking the in right place though? I don’t generally use Python as my primary language.
Usually API docs are tucked away inside a “developer dashboard” or whatever they decided to call it. So I think you can assume at least moderate API and web development knowlege and programming skills.
That North and South Korea maintain a fax line between their countries… which they use almost exclusively to send threats and insults to each other.
Also related to North Korea, the hilarious fact that Dennis Rodman, former NBA player, is so well liked by the Kim family that he’s basically a diplomat to North Korea, or at least the one they turn to when things really start going badly.

I really think that consciousness is just a combination of Narrow AI – that is, AI that is only good at a very specialized task. For example, we have a part of our brains specifically to process the raw data from our eyes, that’s a Narrow AI designed for that express purpose. When you combine all of the AIs that would be necessary for sight, smell, taste, touch, etc, as well as maintaining bodily functions, immune system, and other autonomic systems, you’ve essentially got an AI that can run a body.
However, at the point, that body would rely purely on instinct and only react to it’s environment. Add one more layer of Narrow AI whose purpose is to extrapolate the given information and make educated guesses and you’ve got the potential for intelligence. Because now you’re not just reacting to the environment but you’re actively thinking of how you can use all of those other Narrow AI that control your body to shape your environment, which is the basis of intelligence.
Vf = Vi + at
Means final velocity equals initial velocity plus the product of acceleration and time of acceleration.
F = m(ΔV / ΔT) or F = ma
The second equation is much simpler and means force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration.
This can basically be broken down to be “it’s not the speed that kills you, it’s the sudden deceleration” which is usually attributed to Eddie Rickenbacker who was an American WWI pilot.
“It’s not the speed that kills you, it’s the sudden stop” - Eddie Rickenbacker
It was also famously paraphrased by Jeremy Clarkson:
“Speed has never killed anyone. Suddenly becoming stationary, that’s what gets you.” - Jeremy Clarkson, Top Gear
I think sarcasm usually has more of a negative tone to it. Like “oh yeah, sure, uh huh /s” whereas light hearted is more like “omg stop picking on me! /lh” conveying that they understand that the other people are also interacting with them in jest.
Apparently it means “light hearted” to indicate that she’s in on the joke and isn’t being entirely serious
You should read up on what’s called “rubber ducky” debugging
Here’s a link to a comic that summarizes the idea succinctly: https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/the-rubber-duck-method Wikipedia article here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging
In those kinds of situations you need to remember to try to break the problem down into simpler sections to identify where the problem lies. One of the first steps would be to run SELECT * FROM mainWorkSpace WHERE user_id = @user_id and see if that returns anything.
If God had a CLI then techies might be more religious.
God --pray "I know I've run my program twice now and it's crashed both times and I've changed nothing in the code, but PLEASE let it work!"
LTS just means Long Term Support in case you weren’t aware. It means no new development is happening, but security exploits will be patched as soon as they arise.
If you just want stability, LTS is the way to go. If you want all the cutting edge bells and whistles and are okay with potentially some instability (but probably not much) then use the latest version.
If your device isn’t connected to the internet during general use then I wouldn’t worry too much about updating anything. Security fixes aren’t important if there’s no way to connect to your device.
Ordinals are largely used for counting and when you’re counting you kind of do start a zero, most people just don’t say it. When you count 1… 2… 3… it would work just as well to start 0… 1… 2… 3… So programmers can rest easy.
I’m going to take a guess because again I’m not an astronomer or a physicist, just a lay person and an enthusiast.
What Dark Energy does can basically be boiled down to anti-gravity. It’s not exactly that, we’re not really sure what it is, but that’s what effect it has, it’s repulsive in the same way that gravity is attractive. The theory is that space is expanding and the more space between things (like galaxies) the faster they will move away from each other. It’s also been getting faster since the Big Bang.
We also assumed that black holes didn’t gain much mass unless they absorbed a large body of matter or had an accretion disk – They do gain mass through Hawking Radiation but that’s pretty minuscule. So I think this study has to do with the distribution of matter throughout the universe and the amount of matter in galaxies.
If black holes have always been as massive as they are today then we would assume that everything would be much closer together and the super massive black holes at the center of galaxies would have gathered more matter than they currently have. So we made the assumption that there must have been some kind of repulsive force that spread everything out. Instead the black holes had less gravitational force than we assumed and so it explains why they didn’t gather more matter into their orbits and everything spread out across the universe in the way we observe it today.
Again, I’m just guessing based on my limited knowledge. If an astronomer wants to jump in here, please do!
This is craaaazy astronomical news if true! I’ll try to summarize from my limited understanding as I’m not a professional.
First of all, this article is about Dark Energy, at it’s basics Dark Energy is an unknown force which is why it’s called “dark” and it was named after scientists couldn’t explain why the universe (or spacetime specifically) was expanding as quickly as it is. This paper is the first piece of observational evidence that might “shed some light” on where Dark Energy comes from. From what I can gather, it says that through observing lots of supermassive black holes at the center of loads of galaxies, they’ve determined two things if this observation is correct: black holes don’t have a singularity at their cores, and that black holes gain mass by “cosmological coupling” as they put it.
First, a singularity means that math breaks down, it usually means that it tends toward infinity and the equation can’t be solved. With black holes, it usually means that spacetime itself collapses down infinitely into a single dimension, which is pretty hard for us to understand and breaks a lot of physical laws like Einstein’s equations.
Second, “cosmological coupling” they explain is that as the space expands, the black hole also expands. In very simple terms, lets say the black hole has a diameter 2 LY (light years) in space. If after say a million years space expands enough that 2 LY now is equivalent to 1 LY before then the size of the black hole is essentially 4 LY now when using the old universe’s definition of what a LY is.
Edit: I forgot to mention that because the black hole is essentially “absorbing” spacetime it must gain energy because spacetime does have energy even though we consider it “empty”.
Because of Einstein’s famous equation e=mc^2 we can determine that energy is basically equivalent to mass, and since the black hole is getting extra energy from this “cosmological coupling”, it’s also gaining mass.
I think the most basic TL;DR I can give then is: black holes are sort of “absorbing” spacetime as it expands and gaining energy while doing so which in turn leads them to gaining mass. This extra mass has now been shown through observation to account for and completely explain the origins of Dark Energy.
With that said… THIS PAPER IS BRAND NEW AND HAS NOT BEEN PEER REVIEWED! This is not a discovery yet, it’s way too early to say anything conclusive.
I read a review that said the show was “too woke”. I haven’t seen anything that’s woke except that a non-binary character exists and is referred to as “them”, and the shopkeepers in Filly seem to be lesbians but it’s not explicitly stated. It’s annoying seeing the word “woke” but it’s also kind of nice that it’s easy to spot the dipshits. Anyone using the word “woke” probably sucks big time.
I believe their reactions might be slightly different depending on the person, but if you simply asked them if it made the comment made them uncomfortable they’d say yes 100% of the time.
