The barbie girl worf scared away the other one in me.

It’s probably temporary, go to bed, the tech fairies will fix it till you get up in the morining.

We might be laughing about this now, but I bet someone already is working on something like this.

Yeah, the guy in the video said that as well, that’s why I was wondering if it’s in xbps-src.

And that is why we have peer review, so dogshit doesn’t make it as cold hard fact into science.

Oh, cool, didn’t know that, thanks 👍.

But xbps is still keeps track of installed packages, right, xi is just a script.

I like the DE, seems really polished. Wonder if Void has it in xbps-src.

It is not required for people to consciously falsify data for science to come up with false conclusions.

This is true, but even if it unintentionally falsifies data, other discoveries with correct data will reveal that this other data is wrong, so this theory will be put under question, to see if it holds water. If it doesn’t, than that theory is rejected.

That is what science does, it corrects itself if new more correct data is presented, thus striving for perfection.

The idea is to know everything about everything. This is of corse the goal, which is practically unachievable.

What happened to it?

Science is meant to be objective, not subjective. If you falsify results, then human traits corrupt it, which means that that is no longer science.

It’s not an equation, it’s simple math, like one used in a grocery store. You have 2 apples and then you pick up 4 more pairs of apples, how many apples you got?

As I said, it’s not quantum mechanics, it’s basic simple math.

I bet your alarm clock app also uses simple math problems like this one. It’s expected for a grown up or a teenager to be able to solve this, that is why they put it on alarm clock app. It’s not something that’s meant to be easily forgotten. That is why you learn these things when you’re very young, so they stick with you for the rest of your life. But from the answers, it’s easy to notice that most have never even learned this in the first place, at all. Why? Your guess is as good as mine 🤷.

Agreed 👍.

It’s moneeeyy. That’s all there is to it, money. They finally have an easy way to control what you can or can’t do with the things that (at least on paper) you own.

I just knew this was gonna happen… I warned about these things ever since music/movie subscriptions became a thing. You don’t own a copy of what you (allegidly) bought, thus, it’s not yours.

Now, you do own the thing… at least on paper, but you can’t do much with it unless you pay extra cash to the one who sold it to you, so it can… you know, do the things it’s supposed to do. It’s basically extortion, no matter how you slice it. It’s malware, period.

always use parentheses to denote order, there are no implied parentheses

I completely agree on this, and yes, this is what I always do, cuz… well, we’re human, we make mistakes, parentheses makes things easily visible, thus cutting down on mistakes.

Still, I do know operation order, as a rule I mean. In simple calcs like these, making a mistake is almost impossible. Thus, people that answered 16 probably just don’t know the order… that is something you learn in 1st, 2nd grade, it’s not quantum mechanics we’re talking about here.

lazy mfs from centuries ago who were mortified by the thought of having to write ( and ) too much (lord what i wouldn’t give to hop in a time machine and show them lisp) should not be dictating our mathematical notation in this century.

We only do that cuz we’re not sure how the compiler will interpret the operation order, and there’s waaaay too many versions and different languages to actually remember how each of them interprets math operation order. So, we do a safe bet, put parentheses on everything. Hell, I do it as well, I just can’t be bothered to remember if C interprets it like this, Python like that, Rust like… god knows what. They should, in theory, know math operation order, but let’s face it, we all do it cuz we’ve been faced with bugs that are a direct result of the compiler not intepreting things as it should.

That being said, yes, I do agree that prentheses on everything, even math on paper, is the way to go. Plus, even people that don’t know operation order, will learn it a lot qucker if you just show them how easy things become once you start using prentheses.

That has nothing to do with science and everything to do with human traits.

Sadly, this is actually true, people actually don’t know simple math and operation order.

And they ask me why I hold such low expectations for the future 🤦.

How my wife thinks diets should work. They should also get rid of the excess skin.

Welcome to the world of digital subscriptions boys. It used to be a PC only thing… not any more.

How much old tech they actually have… like rooms of it… most of it is kept for spare parts.

Matrix. I’ve watched the trilogy god knows how many times, I still find it entertaining.
