  My first thought, having lived in an area with trees but inadequate funding for clearing leaves, is that every sidewall just gets buried and slick with wet leaves.

  Idk what the labour costs are for these things.

  SG1 was like… One of the first shows I watched from start to finish. I now cannot, it is so blatantly a centrist lib being like “I wish the US military was like this”.

  Being long term unemployed, I would sometimes think of sleep as a low energy state until the next welfare cheque. But also being drunk fulfilled the same purpose.

  Or ever, most people retain info better having positive social engagement with someone interested in the topic than going to sci-hub (or at least being told to do their own research and then not doing it, which is likely the case).

  Truly a mystery why people prefer socialising over homework

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just Terrible⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is linear algebra older than 0? Hang on (no, it is not, formalised in 17th century)

  In my CS course, at least, it was treated as “engineering”, so we did both linear algebra and C programming. For everyone counting from 1 was more natural and the C method had to be taught a few times throughout the course (starting with java loops, which wasn’t used for malloc, OOP was probably the first unit anyone did for CS). As a habit it tended to stick even where we didn’t really use it (or in languages that don’t, e.g. lua), given how grueling C programming was and the other languages that were downstream of it.

  I guess you could analogise things like saying “17th century” is 1600-1699 (first century is 0001 to 0099, I guess), in CS you are counting the very start of a thing (e.g. how many apple-widths to get to the first apple), vs the more common how many apples to have gotten the first apple. Or something, idk,

  I’m drunk and avoiding housework, sorry

  Is there a reason for the convention other than that’s how most people count? (Which is a perfectly fine reason, I’m just curious)
