  • The difference is the different buoyancy of the balls in air. That's negligible.

  • The acceleration will be 1G minus drag. The Earth is sufficiently larger than anything one would drop off a tower so the weight of the dropped thing doesn't matter at all

    How does your model of the universe explain the hammer and feather dropped on the moon by Apollo 15's David Scott landed at the same time?

    Ed. There is an effect of buoyancy that will make denser things fall faster. It becomes noticeable in distances where the dropped items reach terminal velocity or on more dense media where buoyancy is more significant.

    In air over short distances buoyancy is negligible, in vacuum there is none

  • They have several domain names, each one works like a url shortener

  • g is a misspelling of k

    Terribly common

  • I imagine he walked in grass barefoot or in sandals and got stung by a bee between his toes, having not noticed the bee in the clover

    Such stings suck

  • A little older, with a ~700 million year half life and about ten half lives to be practically completely converted you're looking for 7 billion years ago

  • The KeePass file is encrypted so it's reasonably secure

  • RTFM

  • Mint is pretty popular and that's not much other than reskinned Ubuntu

  • I have always told my team "remember that last piece of work? Add an appropriate fudge factor to this estimate to deal with those sort of problems"

    There's usually a last one, if not there'll be one I can call by name

  • Allow a 100:1 wall clock to CPU/brain rate

  • It's no secret that a lot of doctors are terrible at their jobs too

  • I guess one good tern deserves another

  • Even on Linux where it's easy to find what any running service does, the are so many

  • I seem to have annoyed an admin of an instance enough for them to subscribe my signup email to hundreds of dating profiles (presumably using a service that offers to harass someone for you)

    Many of them aren't good at validating email

    One in ten has one email arrive, asking me to click a link to confirm

    9 in ten have 5 emails before I notice them:

    • Please click a link to confirm
    • You received a wink
    • You received a wink
    • You received 3 chat requests
    • You received a link

    So it's important to not send emails beyond the validate one to unvalidated addresses, to perfect your service annoying or harassing this parties

    Also, use a disposable address for signing up to Lemmy

  • They said they are doing some coding at their non-coding job. It would be good if AI could replace amateur programmers, it would make better code and take a load off the workers

  • Red hat (in '99). I chose it because it was included on the disc that came with an IT magazine I bought at the time

    I moved to Linux From Scratch a few years later, then to Debian. I have been on Debian based OSes since then, I like Mint at the moment

    Knoppix was my favourite recovery and rescue live CD

  • Hint: each bar has five beads, with a 2 bead multiplier above

  • Ah so you're talking about the rigid floppies
