When I went to college the dot was used for the dot product (scalar product) of two vectors while the cross was used for the cross product (vector product) of two vectors.
Since in this case numbers (read: one-dimensional vectors) are multiplied, the dot product is used, which should be denoted by a dot.
(But really, if I were to write a formula in Latex I would just use the * symbol, too.)
whatever you need to justify killing a pig
I don’t need any justification for that lol. I wouldn’t care if people ate dogs either.
I was just pointing out a traditional norm that people usually don’t eat carnivores (because they are more prone to disease and are much less efficient to farm).
Dogs and cats are carnivores. We don’t eat carnivores in general, regardless of domestication.
The only odd one out are horeses, who we don’t eat in spite of them not being carnivores.
Identifying the source of an article is very different from the common use case for search engines.
1:1 quotes of web pages is something conventional search engines are very good at. But usually you aren’t quoting pages 1:1.
And then they would have removed them later. Just like all the statues of Adolf Hitler, which no longer exist.
We only learn about the ones with defects, because they are the most interesting. Most people in history were fine.
One historic figure who had no known defects: Alan Turing
If left wing policies were truly more popular, why didn’t the Democrats win? The voters didn’t get Bernie, so if you can’t get your ideal option, you instead take the worse of the two remaining ones? Even if voters were only voting for damage reduction, they’d still vote Democrat in that case.
But the Democrats didn’t win. The voters don’t want damage reduction. The voters want damage.
Another upside is the easy permission management.
You can revoke network access from your password manager to reduce attack surface; you can revoke camera access from your chat app to prevent accidentaly enabling it; You can restrict an app’s file system access to prevent unwanted changes; etc.
It’s not yet fit to protect from malicious apps, but it still finds some use.
If the vast majority of Americans believed the Democrats to be less evil, the Democrats would have 90% of the vote. If that were the case, the Republicans would move ever further left, perhaps even overtaking the Democrats, until they get a chance at winning again.
The reason the parties are right wing is because the voters are right wing.
That’s why we need a communist revolution where everyone will be a happy little comrade
The reason that people don’t vote Democrats is the same reason that people won’t join your revolution.
If you found enough people to support a revolution, that’d mean you have enough people to change the system by simple voting.
It would be great if politicians could all be philosophers writing political theory.
But that’s not what gets the votes. In a democracy, the most important skill of a politicians is being able to sell their ideas.
There’s a reason populism is popular. Because people don’t read theory, people read posts on X.
My cat likes to jump on my shoulders. When I wear clothes, she uses her claws to keep her balance. But when I’m topless, she doesn’t use her claws (and instead awkwardly tries to get down). It seems like she knows that clothes mean I’m protected and that she can use her claws without hurting me.
R6 is in between an Arcade game and a Tactical Competitive Game
I think R6 is very far from an arcade game.
I actively played R6 and Overwatch for a while and then stopped. After a pause, coming back to Overwatch was no problem; below Master pretty much everyone is playing casually. Coming back to R6 however, was overwhelming. Everyone is playing strategically optimally, you have to play a lot, follow the meta, and be very focused to be able to play in mid to high ranks.
At least that’s my experience. R6 is not what I consider an arcade game.
NixOS and Guix are both very beginner-unfriendly. If you’re not very comfortable with Linux and its command line, I’d recommend against using them for personal systems.
But they would be a move to the left (coming from the current state, which is Republicans).
But apparently most American voters do not want to move left, not even an inch.
Fortunately the German constitution prevents people like you from determining others’ “right to live”.
Women are murdered less often than men. It’s simply irrational for women to be more afraid of being murdered than men are.
Providing expiration notifications costs Let’s Encrypt tens of thousands of dollars per year
Not doubting them, but I don’t understand how that’s possible.
Storing the email addresses and expiration dates takes an irrelevant amount of storage space, even if they had billions of cutomers.
Sending the emails should also not cost thousands, even if a significant amount of customers regularly let their certificates expire (which hopefull isn’t the case).
So where are the tens of thousands of yearly costs coming from?
all the downvotes confirm the ccp is here
Not all who disagree with you are paid by a government. Sometimes people just think your take is bad.
I personally think it’s good that the USA did it back then and I think it’s good that China does it now.
Independence and wealth for all.
But I almost always poop at work :(
