I love how the text seems to be right from the time where the symbol was already abstract, but it was still used as an et ligature instead of a standalone symbol

But be careful, you can pretty easily break stuff by messing up fstab

What does type() mean here?

The effective vibe is much more important than any underlying biology.

Tomatoes are vegetables.

This may be a stupid question but is your video cable plugged into the gpu or into the motherboard?

It’s weird because usually the people writing the expressions want to communicate clearly, and stuff like 1/2x is not immediately clear to everyone, so they write the 1/2 as a fraction.

The same expression on both sides of the division sign only reduce to one if they actually bind to the division sign, which is rarely an issue, but that is exactly the thing that is in question here. I think it’s clear that 1 + 1/1 + 1 is 3, not 1, even though 1+1 = 1+1.

But as you said, of course, the evaluation order is just convention, you can just as well write everything in https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_Polish_notation

your first line is correct, but while it looks like 1 (and it might be under different conventions), evaluating according to standard rules (left to right if not disambiguated by pemdas) yields

2(2+2)/2(2+2) = 2(4)/2(4) = 2*4/2*4 = 8/2*4 = 4*4 = 16

Using implicit multiplication in quotients is weird and really shouldn’t happen, this would usually be written as 8/(2*(2+2)) or 8/2*(2+2) and both are much clearer

Your second argument only works if you treat 2(2+2) as a single “thing”, which it looks like, but isn’t, in this case

That would be extremely funny

Not really cylinders, but toruses. Disks with extent are cylinders.

Are you sure? The way I understand it, ray marching is not something that can really replace ray/pathtracing, it’s mainly used for rendering signed distance fields which is cool if you want to draw fractals and stuff, but not very efficient for classical geometry

In your case I would just start by copying a full setup someone else made and then customizing it, starting from scratch always takes a lot of effort. Reddit’s unixporn was great for that, the alternatives on lemmy are sadly still a little empty.

A piece of software that is the core of each operating system which handles tasks like talking to hardware, scheduling tasks, allocating resources etc.

Someone needs to maintain them for them to keep working. Nobody else is willing to do that anymore, but you can still volunteer as a maintainer. If you don’t, it’s as much your fault as anyone elses.

I like your doubled use of “a” and wish you a long and prosperous life.

He is the dark path in this meme, at least

Almost all programs use both 32bit and 64bit integers, sometimes even smaller ones, if possible. Being memory efficient is critical for performance, as L1 caches are still very small.

Garbage collection is a feature of programming languages, not an OS. Almost all native linux software is written in systems programming languages like C, Rust or C++, none of which have a garbage collector.

Swap is used the same way on both linux and windows, but kicking toolbar items out of ram is not actually a thing. It needs to be drawn to the screen every frame, so it (or a pixel buffer for the entire toolbar) will kick around in VRAM at the very least. A transfer from disk to VRAM can take hundreds of milliseconds, which would limit you to like 5 fps, no one retransfers images like that every frame.

Also your icon is 1.1Mbit not 1.1MB

I have a gentoo install that uses 50MB of ram for everything including its GUI. A webbrowser will still eat up gigabytes of ram, the OS has literally no say in this.

a fallen apart burrito is still tasty

Do I still have the gun?
