There are much longer versions on the YT channel of Ivan Miranda who built it: www.youtube.com/channel/UCF3cDM_hQMtIEJvEW1BZugg
It works by pushing out wrong marbles in the elevator so only correct ones for the current time make out to the queue.

We need to collectively realize that both Celsius and Fahrenheit are mostly arbitrary and not more than practical conventions to assign numbers to temperatures. Kelvin makes more sense but is impractical for daily use. It’s just US-Americans distracting from the fact that most of their units are objectively bad compared to Metric by pointing out that Celsius is only marginally better.

- Comment on E-Mail with own domain 1 week ago:
Yeah, that’s kind of what I thought, and if dynamic DNS is a problem then that already rules out self-hosting for me.
- Comment on E-Mail with own domain 1 week ago:
Thanks, the docs you linked really made it clear how the domain is connected in practice.

Is the point that they are just bots trying to appear natural?
- Comment on This meme is super funny, Especially for people in the UK 1 month ago:
That’s absolutely hilarious! Can somebody from the UK confirm if this is actually true?
- Comment on pwned: do you pronounce it as "pohned" "pawned" or "owned" 2 months ago:
Wait, it’s not pronounced pffned?
- Comment on Self hosting Sunday! What's up, selfhosters?s 2 months ago:
Did an oopsie. I never realized that after upgrading the OS, my
certbot renewservice to renew the HTTPS certificate always failed. So now I had an expired certificate. At least it was an easy fix by reinstalling certbot. - Comment on I love when I see representation in video games 2 months ago:
It’s from the Draconic Evolution mod.
- Comment on Velma can't math. 3 months ago:
You’re probably on the right track. Every hunk of symbols is probably a valid type expression in some system. Including a square root type.
- Comment on Velma can't math. 3 months ago:
Okay, but even if we assumed (x=b) to be a very small equivalence relation, it should appear in the denominator position to form an equivalence quotient.
- Comment on Velma can't math. 3 months ago:
Wrong formula aside, what is the meaning of dividing an entire equation? (x = b) / a

Ah, from the picture I thought he would reach us how to read barcodes, but it’s just some boring simulation stuff.

Which lottery numbers are you picking?
- Comment on US education 5 months ago:
We have no clue what electricity is, because we, the authors, are dumb as fuck.

Huh? This image has enough pixels to be printed on a facade-sized billboard.

Sounds really cool. Weird? Not at all.

Ads disguising themselves as regular posts (e.g. the “LPT”) is bad. It gets worse when someone screenshots and reposts the ad, presumably even for free. But why does the R****t ad make it all the way to Lemmy!??
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 9 months ago:
Yes! It’s an absolute must-have on any of my devices, and the only game installed on my phone

Maybe 3x faster, but because Energy = mass × speed SQUARED, you die 9x harder.
- Comment on [deleted] 9 months ago:
Just the right speed for high-speed trains.
- Comment on Entropy? Never heard of it. 11 months ago:
Just wait until they figure out how much carbon is captured by planting a tree.
- Comment on I predict that this post will get approximately 01000011100101100000000000000000 1 year ago:
Writing the same number a different way does not make it rational. There are no two natural numbers p and q so that p/q = 1 base pi.

Yes, please put tracks everywhere.
- Comment on Cognitive Biases 1 year ago:
What bias is it if the only entry I’ve read in this table is the one for confirmation bias?
- Comment on I have the weirdest aesthetic preferences 1 year ago:
It’s not just ugly, it’s against the spec. The quiet zone is meant to be 4 “dots” wide on all sides for the code to be optimally readable.
- Comment on Oxygen 1 year ago:
Like rocket engines in space, the sun has its own oxidizer tank. Let’s hope it won’t run out anytime soon.
- Comment on Based on a true story 1 year ago:
No, you absolutely don’t need to care at all about the memory management when using Linux. This rabbit hole is really only relevant when you want to work on the Linux kernel or do some really low-level programming.
I would say the most obscure thing that is useful to know for running Linux is drive partitioning, but modern installers give you a lot of handrails in this process.
