I do wonder. I know of the opposite problem in other spheres (some areas in physics), where it is hard to run scientific programs under Windows, and some people resort to WSL, but many also just run Linux on the metal.

EDIT: With Mac, I do not know.

I like how this directly goes against the argument of Fahrenheit being more "graded" with integers lol

But when it comes to weather, the boiling point of water is not a meaningful point of reference.

Well, the freezing point of water is very relevant for weather. If I see that the forecast is -1 degC when it was positive before, I know I will have to watch out for ice on roads.

And the boiling point as the other reference point makes complete sense.

Some countries already use it officially too :)

About the only useful thing I see is that 100 Fahrenheit is about body temperature. Yeah, that's about the only nice thing I can say about Fahrenheit. All temperature scales are arbitrary, but since our environment is full of water, one tied to the phase changes of water around the atmospheric pressure the vast majority of people experience just makes more sense.

I tend to align my personal view largely with the German decision in Solange I/II; as long as the EU provides the same protection of fundamental rights as the national constitution (Grundgesetz in germany's case), it supercedes review under national constitutional courts.

My point here was that they're pushing a bill that clearly goes against fundamental rights recognized by national constitutions and EU law.

edit: I presume you have in mind the recent-ish controversy with Poland. I'll agree with you that that one is counterproductive.

I mean, ideally, you shouldn't be able to submit a bill that not only goes against all (I'd hope) national constitutions, but also violates fundamental rights as established by the European Court of Justice.

But oh well, let's hope that we can stop this before it becomes law, and if it does, that its implementation gets delayed enough for a hopefully sane judiciary to strike this down.

Except that many Android phones also don't have replaceable batteries anymore.

No worries, and glad you learnt something!

I don't know whether this is a joke or not (Poe's law and all), so I will assume this is a genuine question:

Because they were about to say Czechoslovakia, I'd assume. The country that hasn't existed anymore for a long time.

edit: grammar fix

Because Joule is the SI unit of energy, meanwhile the Watt is the SI unit of power, equivalent to one Joule per second.

"Converting" joules to watts would be like converting m/s to US dollars.

I don't see how your example is 'funny'. That's what you expect to get. -5² is -25. (-5)² = 25.

(This doesn't consider the separator) Cyan - DD/MM/YY Magenta - MM/DD/YY Yellow - YY/MM/DD The other ones are mixes of those two colors, so e.g. the US is MM/DD/YY and YY/MM/DD (apparently).

Also just noticed I didn't attribute this picture, I'll edit my comment.

Glad I can count my own country, Lithuania, among the enlightened.

Maybe if they actually made them better compared to the then competition, this could've turned out differently; mind you, it would still be as bad, because Microsoft, but hey, different nonetheless.

And definitely avoid libgen and scihub, lest you accidentally learn something new without paying the exorbitant fees.

pigs in plural, yes. How many streaming services are there now? I lost track a couple of years ago.

Just to propose a different point of view, color vision in humans is caused by the response of cone cells, of which we have three types: L, M and S. Now interestingly, according to Wikipedia:

The first responds the most to light of the longer red wavelengths, peaking at about 560 nm. The second most common type responds the most to light of yellow to green medium-wavelength, peaking at 530 nm.

Meaning that our "red" cones respond better to yellow light than our "green" cones.

I've never thought about it this way before. This must be why some places refuse to invest in public transport. Just imagine the consequences if they didn't even need to fix their cars at all

Exactly why I hope it will flop and they decide it's not worth the money. It's disgusting how tech companies take something free and try to monetize it by hiding it under a veneer of "accessibility" and "integration". One can only hope that information regarding FOSS will remain easily accessible and that the group this update is targeting is insignificant enough. I doubt any serious data scientist would opt to Excel + Python over just Python for big enough data sets, and the average Excel user, let's face it, is unlikely to learn Python.
