I thought this was common knowledge. I distinctly remember this being taught in a basic high school computing class back in the 90’s.

They’re great for a NAS, where the priority is high capacity and low cost, over high performance and high cost of SSDs for comparable capacity.

That doesn’t work if either one is NaN

The top shows Newton’s formula for calculating gravitational force between two bodies. The bottom shows Coulomb’s law for calculating the force between 2 electrically charged particles. The joke is that the Coulomb just copied the formulas from Newton’s that was published nearly a century earlier.

What was even the point of introducing the legacy assertion module? We've known for decades that using == is not a good idea. They should have just killed it while the thing is experimental, instead of letting it get into the stable module.

The extra effort required to explicitly import the strict assertion module, instead of getting it by default, is going to lead to lazy developers inadvertently getting the legacy mode, that shouldn't exist for a new assertion module.

I’m curious how accessible Lemmy is to users who need to use assistive technology, and whether the many 3rd party app developers are making their apps accessible.

Docker for Mac has to run Linux in a virtual machine because macOS doesn’t natively support the containerisation APIs. That’s why it takes more memory and runs a bit slower than it does when running natively on a Linux machine.

Lemmy has gone from having no viable apps a few weeks ago to having several under active development that are getting better every day. It’s actually impressive. I’ve spent so little time on Reddit today.

My only wish is that Apollo comes back as a Lemmy client in the near future.

It’s missing some things like integration for imgur and xkcd, where Apollo would show the images in-app, instead of opening the websites or native imgur app separately.

It’s great so far, but the inverted colours for upvote/downvote are confusing. I see blue and think I downvoted.

I haven’t heard of Liftoff or Thunder. I’ve got wefwef, Memmy and I’m just now trying Mlem for the first time. I haven’t found a perfect one so far, but as an Apollo refugee, wefwef is nice

I wonder if this could also lead to the Apple Card being offered in more countries, since Amex already has existing consumer products around the world.
