  To be fair, they’re not actually telling you what to do, just telling you what they think the consequence of a certain action will be.

  WT…and I cannot emphasise this enough…F??

  There were no other reported cases of intravenous semen injection found across the medical literature. A broader search of internet sites and forums found no documentation of semen injection for back pain treatment or otherwise.

  That, at least, is something of a relief.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Ripple in Space⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  From wikipedia:

  As it orbits, it creates gravitational ripples on the edges of the Keeler gap as ring particles are attracted toward the moon and then fall back down toward the ring. The waves made by the moon in the inner edge of the gap precede it in orbit, while those on the outer edge lag behind it, due to the differences in relative orbital speed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fucked up you can't be gay anymore⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  No, as you can see from the photo, most of the gay is directed straight up, and will, in fact leave Earth’s atmosphere and head in to deep space. However, exactly the same sort of thing happens on planets in other star systems too, and some of that hits Earth beings. If you’re feeling gayer than yesterday, it probably just means you picked up some interstellar alien gaydiation.

  The formatting on your comment seems have gotten a little messed up, so appologies if I’ve missed your point, but the paper seems quite specific that the pair (h,h') is not equivalent to (h',h), especially in term of Def 1. For instance, the result of f(h,h') may be positive while the result of f(h',h) is negative or zero.

  Back in the day, the entire game came on physical media, and patches were things you sewed to your clothes, so the publishers had to, at least try to, ship a working game, with all it’s features in place.

  Now get off my lawn you kids!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you hide wired conversations behind a language barrier?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In general this isn’t going to work with any language that the people reviewing the recording can find a translator for, however a variant of the idea did serve the Allies in WWII. Native Americans were drafted into the military as “code talkers”. They used their native languages to send and receive radio messages, and, as the Axis powers did not have access to anyone who spoke those languages, they could not understand intercepted messages.

  Although no code talkers was ever captured, it is alledged that a member of each unit they were attached to was given a secret duty to shoot them if it looked like they would be, in order to protect the code.

  Bosses who wont send this sort of thing in writing, and who don’t read emails you send them are handy, as you do things your way and just poibt out that you emailed them about it a week ago. The papertrail becomes your greatest asset.

  It gave me a hearty chuckle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So guess what boss⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Which is why you always get this sort of order in writing, from the boss. If they won’t send it, you send them an email saying something like “Thanks for taking the time to discuss this issue with me today. Just to confirm, you said I should <whatever>. I pointed out that this could lead to <consequenses>, but you stated I should continue anyway. Please let me know straight away if you don’t agree with that recollection.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dating apps metaphor⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s actually really simple: did they message me first? 100% of the time they were bots.

  The problem is, anyone you message is using the same test, thus deciding that you are a bot. The only logical way to handle this is to ensure you start all messages with “Greetings fellow human, I have perused the photographs of yourself that you put online. Not only are they very attractive – they’re interesting too. You did the right thing putting them up, and it was very brave to do so. I would lime to get to know you better…” That way no-one will be confused.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I also have one⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If there’s one layer of clothes then you’re correct, it O(1). On further thought deeper piles are not O(log N), but O(N). Once the number of items exceeds C it takes more than a single operation to retrieve an item from the bottom layer, and the number of operations is proportional to the number of layers, or N/C.

  If you consider either picking an item up or moving it aside as a single operation, then retrieval from a single layer take 1 operation, and is O(1), but retrieval from the bottom of a two layer pile actually takes 3 operations (move the top item, retrieve the target item, replace the top item into the bottom layer, or you risk getting a deeper pile in one slot in the pathalogical case). Retrieval from the bottom of 3 layers takes 5 operations (move, move, take, replace, replace). in other words we have an O(1) process for taking the target item, and an O(N/C)=O(N) process for uncovering it in the first place, giving O(N) over all.

  Your statement that “considering that the naximum amount of clothes is likely very small, it can be treated as O(1).” is true iff N<=C, which, I concede, is a likely scenario in any well managed laundry pile, hence comment about cache sizing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I also have one⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not if items are covered by other items. You’ve got a layer of fast L1 cache that is O(1), but exceed the limit of that layer by placing an item of clothing on top of it, and some elements are effectively “pushed down” to a higher latency tier, which is going to be closer to O(log N) as you have to move some percentage of the items out of the way to get to the target item. Cache eviction (doing the laundry) will reset this.

  As always careful optimisation of the cache size, in relation to the expected distribution of items to be accessed, is key to maximising performance.

  Set up a shell company. Set up a trust somewhere with no capital gain tax. Shift ownership of the shell to the trust. As the shell, come to an agreement in principal with the bank to buy it. Use this as colateral to raise a loan from the bank for the purchase amount. Transfer the debt to the bank as part of the merger with the shell company. The bank now basically owes itself to itself. Sell the combined company from the trust, thus avoiding capital gain tax.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wavelengths⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Mantis shrimps seem to be the champions of this. They have between 12 and 16 different types of cones, spanning into the ultraviolet. They have a very different visual processing system to most animals though, so despite all the cones, they don’t seem to synthesise shades between them, so they probably don’t have a very vivid image.
