  Wow that got complicated very quickly. Bummer no-one can come up with a simple example of when quicksort is useful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Binary search⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That doesn’t make sense at all. How would you - given two stacks of papers - know which stack the correct form is?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Assassin's Creed Shadows Will Feature Denuvo & Account Linking + EULA also requires you to allow Ubisoft to "monitor" your RAM⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And micro transactions

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So this is how my neighbor fixes his fence.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m on the fence about that one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨stacked⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I say Pyramids ⊂ Cones. You say Cones ⊂ Pyramids. Therefore Cones = Pyramids.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨stacked⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No, a cone can have any flat shape as its base, wherefor a pyramid - which only has four sides - is also a cone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨stacked⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A pyramid is just a cone with a square base.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨10 years⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not a simple shape. Why would people want to talk about it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Slapping Chicken⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are so many weird assumptions here. There is more than a hand moving when a slap is performed.

  A skilled slapper could put more of their body weight behind the slap. I’d assume at least 40 kg or even more as the average slap.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Burning Up⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Uhh and 100 ° C is also really hot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Seconds⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m no astrologer but from what I’ve learned, we also need to look at the color to glassify stars into categories. It varies a bit though in each category so it’s a blunt tool.

  Then there are other objects like gas clouds and even galaxies. For those, we have no idea of the density distribution, so radial size gives us even less info.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Seconds⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Size doesn’t say much about mass though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can anyone suggest some good co-op games for two people?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep that’s perfect. They get to be the “farm hand” and get their own little cottge and everything! You can buy more cottages at the carpenter if you are more than two people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can anyone suggest some good co-op games for two people?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Stardew valley has split screen support on PC!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone else feel like fireworks are a complete waste of money and a ridiculous amount of unnecessary Pollution?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Try thousand(s) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fireworks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨These notifications are bundled together for some reason. So if I want to be notified when my subscriptions renew themselves, I have to also be notified of random games going on sale, too.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, most of these apps were made before the notification categories were invented and they don’t keep the consultants that made the initial app, or want to pay for the change.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This terraforming operator is kinda smooth⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But there is an atmosphere. There are huge sand storms on Mars.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Or we could do metric time⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Leap years aren’t every four years though, just FYI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Paid full price and got this in the mail (open box). GameStop and I have different definitions of “new”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  On digital vs physical:

  1. Digital versions are locked into the whim of Nintendo. For instance, you can’t play the game on another switch if the user who brought it is playing another game on their account. In fact, the second Switch can’t even play it without having an internet connection.

  2. You can’t sell a digital copy second hand, meaning the value is way lower for digital copies. They still have the same retail price though…
