  Is that one of those instances where the doctors of old tried to look at animals and project that knowledge onto humans?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia not providing specifications for old GPUs⁩ ⁨⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  No offence, but this is useless advice and exactly the reason why I wanted official data. “Usually”s and “Shoulds” don’t help. Especially for a completely different graphics card.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia not providing specifications for old GPUs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I would’ve liked some sort of official source, since other sites may have errors. (Of course the Nvidia page could contain errors, too, but I assumed they’d be more scrutinized than page number 328 which scrapes these details.)

  Same question: If a species evolves due to adapt to a changed environment, is the original species extinct?

  Yes, yes it is. That’s why a species ‘going extinct’ doesn’t always mean that it suddenly died off.

  No, that’s a mistake. Incredible how many mistakes one can make in a simple derivation.

  Thanks for pointing it out.

  What about this is “vaguely whale-looking”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨omg⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Observe the identities

  a / b = a × b^(-1)
  

  and

  sqrt(a) = a ^ (1/2)
  

  and derive

    2 / sqrt(2)
  = 2 / 2^(1/2)
  = 2 × 2^(-1/2)
  = 2 ^ (1 + -1/2)
  = 2 ^ ( -1/2 )
  = sqrt(2)

  Predatory publishing is this shit. It’s a bastardized version of the open access movement that gained traction at the turn of the millennium.

  In a nutshell: Instead of having readers pay for an article, publishers take money from researchers to publish the article. Reading it is free for everyone. Publishers are now incentivized to publish as much as possible, with no regard whatsoever for quality. Everyone with two grand on their hands can publish any article.

  Those corporations, they torture sentient and intelligent beings for money. If it was children, what would you do?

  You talk as if we didn’t force them to sew our clothes and mine our gold and farm our crops.

  I never knew that estrogen and testosterone are so similar. I also didn’t know that there is not one estrogen molecule, but that estrogens are a molecule class.

  Thanks, OP!

  not to be confused with the family porn plan.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨E-bike rider killed in collision with police car⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Journalists don’t use passive voice to take away blame from the police, but because this is a story about the e-bike rider. In active voice, this would read “Police kill e-bike rider in collision”, which takes the focus away from the victim and shifts it onto the police. Is that better?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wikipedia not rendering math formulas?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems plausible. When you edit the page and render a preview without changing anything, the formulas render correctly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do I need to choose a language when posting on Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If a user doesn’t want to see an English post, accurately tagging your post allows them to filter it. So it’s a matter of being nice, but not strictly necessary to tag your post correcly.

  Let us sing praise for the Rhineland Palatinatian Landesverordnung zur Ausführung des Gaststättengesetzes (Gaststättenverordnung - GastVO -), in effect since 1971, which mandates one toilet each for males and females in every restaurant or pub, and more for larger establishments.

  I give my users instructions on how to report an error if they seek assistance. It’s regularly ignored. Instead we get the ubiquitous “Something bad happened … somewhere. HALP!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Troy McMillan can't be bothered⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This looks more like an extended table of contents, where you get introductory paragraphs instead of just the headings. Much preferrable, IMHO.

  Sure, but have you ever wasted hours of your life checking the documentation for the exact string of case-sensitive letters that force LaTeX not to yeet your image 45 pages further into the document, because that’s THE MOST PERFECT PLACE to put it?

  Or they’re confident enough in their parenting that they can allow their daughter to come to her own conclusions about this situation after a while.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  she doesn’t want to because she knows it will be a difficult conversation.

  That’s a lot of assuming. If we argue in her favor, then we might assume that her parents might not be the most receptive. This is a sensible assumption on her part. Any parent whose daughter is suddenly missing will be agitated. This state of mind is not conducive to a rational conversation.

  So her reaction makes sense: She asks her brother whom she views as a good bearer of news to just tell their parents that she is fine, so they don’t go crazy. After they’ve calmed down, she intends to explain herself.

  I think this is extraordinarily good thinking. Calling her parents immediately with the news that she’s gone will just end in a shouting contest. Not telling them at all is an undue burden on them and might have undesirable consequences like involving the police. This girl seems to do her best to have a calm talk. That’s way more than I’ve come to expect from adults.
