Cool Guides@lemmy.ca•A Cool guide to Cistercian NumeralsEnglish2·1 year agoUsing the same argument, 10 is one symbol. It is the “ten” symbol.
I’m just pointing out that it makes no sense to say that this system allows writing any number as one symbol.

World News@lemmy.world•As Ramadan begins, Israeli settlers increase attacks on Palestinian villages in occupied West BankEnglish13·1 year agoSome Hamas leader: “We are an Islamic resistance movement” (although there seem to be worse ones around)
Apparently they like islamic dress codes, going so far as to patrolling beaches to enforce them
They don’t like music and dance either
Please point to any source (not obviously islamic propaganda) of Hamas not being an islamic organization. I’m not saying it’s what makes them the bad guys, just that it’s dishonest to say they have “nothing to do with religion”

World News@lemmy.world•As Ramadan begins, Israeli settlers increase attacks on Palestinian villages in occupied West BankEnglish27·1 year agoHamas […] has nothing to do with religion
From Wikipedia:
Hamas, an acronym of its official name, Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiya (Arabic: حركة المقاومة الإسلامية, romanized: Ḥarakat al-Muqāwamah al-ʾIslāmiyyah, lit. ‘Islamic Resistance Movement’)

Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•The little-known, massive advantage that renewables hold over coal.67·1 year ago“Energy contained in coal” doesn’t make any sense. Is it “energy we could get from burning coal if it was 100% efficient”? “Energy we could get from coal if we could use it in a nuclear reaction”?
Coal (anything) doesn’t “contain” energy. We can transform some things, and some transformations produce energy in some form or another.
The upper line of this graph should be labeled “total energy liberated by burning coal” and the lower one “useful energy liberated by burning coal”.
Love how nobody got the joke
When DST ends you set your clock back 1 hour (or it does it automatically nowadays) in the middle of the night, gaining 1 hour of extra sleep
The joke here is that the guy did the same for Leap Day, setting his clock back 24 hours and gaining 24 hours of sleep, so when his boss called at 2pm he was in the middle of his ~32h night
A blockchain is only as secure as the amount of work (= processing power) that goes into it. Anyone with 51% of the processing power invested in a blockchain can attack it and essentially steal from other people. For cryptocurrencies it’s a problem that solves itself, because every person that possesses some of the cryptocurrency is incentivized to mine to keep it secure (and to earn some at the same time). The more your cryptocurrency is valuable, the more people will want to mine it and the more secure it will be.
For anything other than cryptocurrencies, you can’t incentivize a huge number of people to commit computing power to secure your blockchain. So you have to protect it some other way, for example only allowing you and some trusted people to write on it. But then it doesn’t really need to be a blockchain anymore, just a write-only database (which will perform better and occupy less space).
If it requires no work to generate a block at the end of your blockchain, any attacker can generate malicious ones.
They don’t though, they disable printing with the subscription’s cartridges. You can still buy other cartridges and it will work.

Technology@lemmy.ml•Here are the details on the grisly deaths of Elon Musk’s Neuralink monkeys216·2 years agoIf you never use medicine that was developed with the help of animal testing I guess you could. If you do use pretty much any kind of antibiotics though, or are unfortunately diabetic and have to use insulin, then it would be pretty hypocritical.

Games@sh.itjust.works•Baldur's Gate 3's success is not about setting a new "standard"English2·2 years agoBG3 had a day-one patch, and is at its 6th hotfix now. Does it make it a broken game?
With the scale of modern AAA games it is inevitable, if a studio had to wait until every bug in a game the size of Starfield was fixed to release it, it would simply never release. You have to decide at some point that the game is in a releasable state, and at this moment you start printing discs, then you keep working on it and fixing bugs and that constitues the day-one patch. And don’t worry about the expansion, they started working on it long before the release.

Games@sh.itjust.works•Baldur's Gate 3's success is not about setting a new "standard"English51·2 years agoA day-one patch is the day of the release, so it counts as included in the release in my books.
It doesn’t mean « they haven’t done enough testing before physical production », it means they took advantage of the inevitable several weeks or months between start of physical printing and release.
And of course a patch 1 year after release is fine. What I’m saying is that I prefer a broken game that is fixed on release day over a broken game that is fixed 1 year later.

Games@sh.itjust.works•Baldur's Gate 3's success is not about setting a new "standard"English131·2 years agoWhat’s the problem with day-one patches? I’d much rather have a game with a day-one patch than a game that needs a patch 1 year after its release
Game + day-one patch is essentially the initial state of the game
