  • Don't grow older than 255 or else it will overflow

  • Related: I once got onto my feed a post of a tale of someone who had a child on his 19th birthday, so for his 20th birthday, and the child's 1st, they had two balloons celebrating their 20th birthdays.

  • Longer explanation:

    Because most computers use two's complement to make negative numbers. To produce -x, you take x, flip all the bits, and then add 1. Conveniently, this process works both ways, so if you have an int with a positive MSB, i.e. 1*******, that's a negative number, and if you invert and add 1, you get the positive number.

    So if you take 11111111, and apply this process, you get 00000001, which equals 1. Thus, 11111111 = -1

    Secondly, the gestation period of humans is 9 months, and there are 12 months in a year.

    So if you have binary candles and all of them lit, that can suggest, which it does in my previous comment, that you're celebrating a child's -1st birthday.

  • Light all the candles as an announcement that you're gonna start having kids and hope she'll get pregnant in exactly three months. Not in 2, not in 4, but in 3 precisely.

  • I'm currently still locked in due to some magnitude of network effect. Let's just say that I'm looking forward to more news about this program's development with great interest.

  • By dubbing econ "dismal science" adherents exaggerate;The "dismal"'s fine - it's "science" where they patently prevaricate.

  • Echt waar? Fietsen waar het stuur en beide wielvorken zo vervloekt zijn? Nah, deze fiets is een simulacrum van hoe een fiets er ongeveer uit zou moeten zien.

    For the others:Really? Bicycles where the handlebars and both wheel forks are this cursed? Nah, this is a simulacrum of what a bicycle should approximately look like.

  • Negative two: don't think

    This relies on the quote "I think, therefore I am," but if I'd led with that, I'd be putting Descartes before the horse.

  • The heat... I mean the cold... well, it’s palpable!

    Jump

  • there's a whole host of temperature scales, some of which look similar, some look different, some scale the same at the same temperature difference but have different zeroes, and at least one works backwards. Thank goodness there's only three you're likely to see in the wild these days, I'd hate to have to keep in mind whether or not those degrees are not Celsius or Fahreheit, but... idk, Newton? Réamur? Rømer? Delisle?

  • MooOO!

  • It's also worth noting that a profession where you spend every day in close proximity to cows is very common. Meanwhile, a profession that regularly has you in close proximity to sharks is way more niche. Make of this what you want.

  • Will CEOs eventually have to replace themselves with AI to please shareholders?

    Jump

  • company gets super invested in AI. replaces CEO with AI. AI does AI stuff, hallucinaties, calls for something inefficient and illegal. 4 trillion investor dollars go up in flames. company goes under, taking AI hype market down with it

    And nothing of value will be lost.
