The Windows version definitely does not open your default browser to download a new installation package which you then need to install yourself.

I stand corrected

The same priority operations can be done in any order without affecting the result, that’s why they can be same priority and don’t need an explicit order.

6 × 4 ÷ 2 × 3 ÷ 9 evaluates the same regardless of order. Can you provide a counter example?

Yes, that’s all true, but none of that describes its free-fall trajectory. Drag causes it to deviate from free-fall very slightly, and it definitely wasn’t in free-fall when the pieces were launched from Earth

Spent a moment thinking about this and I think there’s an implied definition for what “on earth” means that we intuitively accept but don’t ever really need to state.

If your projected free-fall trajectory both forward and backward in time intersects with the surface of the earth then you are “on earth”.

Standing on the ground? Intersects twice. Thrown rock? Intersects twice. Person in an airplane? Intersects twice. ISS? No intersection. Incoming impact meteor? One intersection.

Reply guy is an internet slang term for someone who excessively responds to social media posts, often in an annoying, condescending, or overly familiar or flirtatious manner.

Says Wikipedia.

What compression settings are you using for each? If you’re just accepting defaults it’s quite possible you’re comparing against a lossless webp, which is quite likely to be larger than jpeg at typical quality settings.

Associative thinking is very normal. This is just another post in the ongoing trend of common things being called out as divergent.

So what is the mass of a byte of ‘pure’ information? And how do you derive it?

That’s all in the linked wikipedia article, but since you asked:

At room temperature, the Landauer limit represents an energy of approximately 0.018 eV (2.9×10⁻²¹ J).

That’s 1 bit, so 1 byte is eight times that, which you can plug into E=mc² to get its absurdly small equivalent mass.

It’s important(?) to note that Landauer’s Principle is not settled science and has yet to be rigorously proven, unless there’s some recent development which the comic is referencing. I haven’t checked.

No, you missed the point. See @milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee’s comment and link to Landauer’s Principle, the namesake of which is literally named in the title of the post.

TL;DR: Storing information requires a change in entropy. A change in entropy requires a change in energy. There must be a minimum non-zero amount of energy required for a given quantity of information. Energy is mass due to mass-energy equivalence. ∴ information has mass independent of its physical representation.

I’ve actually found the lane keeping in my Mitsubishi to be basically flawless when operating. Potholes and the like don’t seem to give it any issues at all.

It does lose track of the lanes and periodically disable if the lines are faded or absent for more than a few meters, but at least then it just switches to normal steering and doesn’t swerve me into traffic or anything.

Was ingrown on both sides, and grew back the same each time.

Ah, yeah. I was told that was a possibility when I had it done. Sucks that it happened to you.

Completely gone. Was badly ingrown and after a doctor removed it three times and it grew back ingrown again every time they just destroyed the root completely.

You joke, but I’m missing a nail on one of my big toes and it’s so much more comfortable and less hassle that I kind of wish all my toenails were gone.

…not so sure about fingernails though. They’re pretty useful for picking things up or praying things open.

I also still agree with most of my old posts, but younger me could absolutely have worked on the delivery. Had no chill.

Jellyfin has some security issues that, depending on who you ask, are either critical vulnerabilities that make it completely unsafe to expose to the Internet or largely unconcerning for regular users.
