“Hundred” in Germanic Europe used to be 120 before the Romans came and introduced their “century” with a value of 100. This is still known as “the long hundred”

12, 60, 120, 360 are the first superior highly composite numbers. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/...

These number divides neatly into integer parts in many ways for their size.

They are also the basis of many pre decimal counting systems, some of which are still around. 360 degrees in a circle. 12 hours in a day.

The Babylonian’s used base 60. We still do for time as you pointed out. The minute refers to a minute(as in small) part of something. The “second” is the “second minute”. Ie a minute divided into minutes. This system is also used for geodetic cordinates. Where we have arc minutes and seconds.

According to an unsourced claim on Wikipedia, "repetition is the essential comedic device"

Is this real?

Hire someone to manage my money.

It always bothers me when it says "no smoking" first and then "safety first" second. If you are serious about safety first, put it first!

I am principally opposed to what is going on with Reddit. But to be honest, I am much more practically opposed to using it without a third party app. Hence I have only just gotten around to join Lemmy now. If I wasn’t on vacation and had a bunch of time right now, I probably wouldn’t have joined until after the apps stopped working.

I expect that the practical reality of not being able to use your preferred Reddit app (which is still hours away) is going to be a big motivator compared to everything else leading up to this.

That would then be an entirely different situation?

There are many reasons one might use inheritance. The one which is often first introduced by OOP proponents is creating a “is-a” relationships in some domain model where the goal is to somehow model “real life” with classes and objects.

This always ends badly in my experience. Not worth doing. Just consider the “rectangle square controversy” https://henrietteharmse.com/.... Inheritance as a domain modelling tool doesn’t really mean anything outside of textbooks talking about animals and vehicles.

One should understand how computers and programming work and model data in a way which makes sense for the concrete scenario. Look in any algorithms and data structures book. Nothing is ever explained and presented through object models. No UML diagrams needed.

But inheritance also bring actual concrete functionality. In particular dynamic single dispatch. If you need dynamic single dispatch, inheritance is good. That being said, I think that parametric polymorphism (“generics” in OOP terminology) is a better solution than subtype polymorphism in almost all cases. Although languages build around OOP and inheritance sometimes make it too inconvenient to use.

Twix are chocolate bars which comes wrapped two identical pieces in one wrapper. OP can apparently tell the difference by taste which is absurd.

How is this different from normal the normal Euro. I seem to be able to use these digitally just fine. That is without even living in a euro zone country. Various digital payment services just makes thing work. also I know that actual printed cash is a vanishingly small amount of euros in circulation anyway.

Why would it be redundant? You can’t even get past the main function before dealing with a char**

I fail to see what blockchain can provide in the realm of audit logging?

Fundamentally, you need to trust the systems which are logging events to log the correct events at the correct time. How does blockchain change this?

Chill people usually don't go straight to waving their constitutional rights in other people's faces at the first sign of any minor disagreement.

Identically named does not imply identical. Could be totally different communities with the same name. Or there could be subtle but important differences.

Likewise differently named does not imply that two communities are not essentially the same.

Having some form of grouping could be an idea that might be useful to some. I imagine different people would like it to function in different ways.

But it is entirely orthogonal to naming. At the end of the day abc@instance1 is a different name than abc@instance2.

Their terminal emulator can use all shells, just like all the other terminal emulators ever.

It is particularly easy to set up different profiles with different shells with Windows Terminal compared to some other terminal emulators though.

RIP everyone who doesn't live exactly on the ecliptic.

The amount of time which the sun shines has very little to do with half of 24 hours most of the year where I live.

The wrapper is not symmetrical. You can consistently define a left and right bar of a given Twix in an unambiguous way.

I get the impression that some of these people were expecting that Diablo 4 was going to allow them to build a meaningful and fulfilling life around playing it at least 4 hours everyday 7 days per week. And now they are desperately sad and angry and having an existential crisis.

nation…..thing

we prefer the term "sui generis geopolitical entity" ;)

How does Lemmy have more avenues for admin abuse than Reddit? On either platform, the admins can technically do whatever they want. (Including editing users posts, spez). Lemmy makes it easier to just go somewhere else. At the end of the day that is all you can do.
