Honest question. How is that sponge an animal and how is "animal" defined? If we grind something through a sieve and it reassembles surely the lifeform can't be too complicated.

If you are fine with touching winget to download something, you probably should be fine by touching edge to download something.

Who cares. Just say it's inside the home and enjoy your pay day 🤣

Joules is unfortunately a vector because it's over a distance in a direction.

What? Joule is an energy unit and energy is a scalar quantity and not a vector. There is no "energy direction" and no "distance".

Edit: even your edit doesn't make sense. Provide a source that says that energy or joule is somehow a vector.

@Prunebutt meant 4.5! and not 4.5. Because it's not an integer we have to use the gamma function, the extension of the factorial function to get the actual mean between 1 and 9 => 4.5! = 52.3428 which looks about right 🤣

Your example with the absolute values is actually linked in the "Even more ambiguous math notations" section.

Geogebra has indeed found a good solution but it only works if you input field supports fractions and a lot of calculators (even CAS like WolframAlpha) don't support that.

Now you changed it to an explicit multiplication. The ambiguity only comes from the implicit multiplication after a division, that's when the interpretation can be ambiguous. That's what the blog post really is about.

🤣 I'm not sure if you read the post but I also wrote about that (the paragraph right before "What about the real world?")

The full story is actually more nuanced than most people think, but the post is actually very long (about 30min) so thank you in advance if you really find the time to read it.

Not quite. I'm not really sure but I think the original idea actually was a fixed hardware address but I'm not sure if a lot of devices actually ever implemented it that way because it's simpler (and cheaper) to control it in software. In modern (especially mobile) devices it's actually a security requirement because with a fixed MAC address you could be tracked by other wifi devices.

How does it compare to Nickel (https://github.com/tweag/nickel)?
