  Does anyone understand why the DDOS script is written so weirdly? (100 -1 +1)? Why fetch multiple times per iteration?

  I disagree. The main selling point of a console is not the physical media. There are consoles out there that do not even have that feature. It’s the convenience of buying a console once and then knowing everything will run fine. No tinkering, just start it up with your controller and game.

  People have fast Internet connections nowadays and can just buy it online and download. You probably have patches to download anyway. It might be even more convenient because you don’t have to go to the store or insert the disk to play. I don’t think people are sharing games that much anymore.

  I think the average guy does not care. There might be some complaints at first like with the iPhone dropping the headphone jack, but then people are just gonna be fine with it. Consoles are not going anywhere. They are the iPhones of gaming, small selection but great optimization for that specific hardware.

  All research should be open access, there is no room for publishers making money off of science.

  Even the new version of my banking app seems bad in comparison to the old one. Sure looks nice, but having a white screen until the web app has downloaded isn’t really good design

  Care to explain?

  What about standard

  I kinda don’t believe in Energy, in the sense that I find it a useful conserved quantity to calculate stuff. Energy, or other physical quantities like fields “existing” though, is philosophical question

  Want kind of use cases do you have for your phone that that’s relevant? Sure it’s nice to have, but I can’t even remember when I last moved files to/from my phone

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨a real danger of quantum computing⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The wavefunction obtained by the Schrödinger equation is indeed time dependent, so it is possible for the probability of measuring a certain eigenvalue of a physical quantity described by an operator on the wavefunction to change over time. I don’t quite get what you are trying to say here. Are you talking about whether quantum entanglement breaks relativity? Measuring for example one electron spin up will get you the information that the other one (maybe a few light-years away) is of a certain other state (maybe spin down). This does not allow to transfer a message between the two locations, as measuring the state on the senders end is still completely random. They would have to send a lookup table which is still only possible with the speed of light

  So you’ll just not visit websites at all anymore?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Word.⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The normal user still uses spaces and newlines to format their documents instead of tabstops . Doesn’t use automatic Table of contents or knows how to use sections to make the page numbers show up where they want. It doesn’t help, that the online version doesn’t support section insertion. I pretty much never use Word, but it’s an incredibly complex piece of software, people don’t know how to use. Even the elusive positioning of pictures isn’t all too hard if you know what anchors do.

  Wait did you just contradict yourself in two sentences? Or are you saying you checked for 45+, where it seems to be true but think it’s not for other ages?
