  • Order of magnitude is a hell of a drug

    Jump

  • If you're trying to calculate it, then it's quite difficult.

    If you just want to use it in a computer program, most programming languages have it as a constant you can request. You get to pick whether you want single or double precision, but both are atomic (a single instruction) on modern computers.

  • C is one of the most energy saving language

while(1);

    Not if I'm writing it.

  • Even the most subtle burn in bothers me, but grey instead of black doesn't. LED is better than OLED for me.

    As soon as there is a technology with the same colours as OLED with absolutely no burn in (and my existing displays get too old), I'll consider it.

  • People who use non-QWERTY keyboards: what do you use?

  • Plover. I'm still not any good at it.

  • Australians aren't turning away from electric cars, they're turning away from Tesla.

    The writer of the article doesn't seem to be aware that any other electric cars exist, and the whole article seems to be written on that assumption which makes many misleading statements.

  • For the glory of the Empire!

  • I read through seeming endless logs from a battle simulation and used these log to improve the accuracy of the simulation. It may seem like tedious work not fitting of a Klingon warrior, but now our brothers and sisters will be more prepared with a fair simulation as they train FOR THE GLORY OF THE EMPIRE!

  • I decided to use NAND instead of NOR, but it's effectively the same thing.

    Scala:

     scala
        
//main
@main
def main(): Unit =
  var i = 15 //Choose any number here
  i = add(i, 1) //this increments i
  println(i)

//Adds 2 numbers in the most intuitive way
def add(a: Int, b: Int): Int =
  val pairs = split(a).zip(split(b))
  val sumCarry = pairs.scanLeft(false, false)((last, current) => fullAdder(current._1, current._2, last._2))
  return join(sumCarry.map(_._1).tail.reverse)

//Converts an integer to a list of booleans
def join(list: Seq[Boolean]): Int = BigInt(list.map(if (_) '1' else '0').mkString, 2).toInt

//Converts a list of booleans to an integer
def split(num: Int): Seq[Boolean] = num.toBinaryString.reverse.padTo(32, '0').map(_ == '1')

//Adds 2 booleans and a carry in, returns a sum and carry out
def fullAdder (a: Boolean, b: Boolean, c: Boolean): (Boolean, Boolean) =
  (NAND(NAND(NAND(NAND(a, NAND(a, b)), NAND(NAND(a, b), b)), NAND(NAND(NAND(a, NAND(a, b)), NAND(NAND(a, b), b)), c)), NAND(NAND(NAND(NAND(a, NAND(a, b)), NAND(NAND(a, b), b)), c), c)), NAND(NAND(NAND(NAND(a, NAND(a, b)), NAND(NAND(a, b), b)), c), NAND(a, b)))

//The basis for all operations
def NAND(a: Boolean, b: Boolean): Boolean = !a || !b

    EDIT: replaced Integer.parseInt with BigInt(...).toInt to fix NumberFormatException with negative numbers.

    You have one (1) free teleportation that must be used within the next 24 hours or it disappears forever. Do you use it? Where do you go?

  • What apps/programs do y'all recommend?

    Jump

  • LocalSend. File transfer between any devices with (almost) any OS over LAN. No account required. The best file transfer app I've ever encountered by far.

    StreetComplete. Get motivated to go outside with quests to help complete OpenStreetMaps. Surprisingly addictive. Requires an OpenStreetMaps account.

    f.lux. Remove the blue light from your computer monitor in the evening to help you fall asleep more easily. Redshift. As above. Not quite as good, but works on some OS/System configurations that f.lux can't handle.

    Pulsar. A community version of the discontinued Atom text editor. Highly extendable and configurable. Great for small programming tasks or opening text files with an obscure syntax. Has most of the packages built for Atom.

    Home Assistant. For automating your house and more (controlling smart lights and appliances, monitoring solar panel output, weather forecasts, printer diagnostics, delivery tracking...). A dedicated device (Raspberry Pi, old laptop) is highly recommended. A bit of a learning curve, but hard to live without after using it.
