You are misunderstanding what the remainder is.

5 % 2 == 1, because 5 == 2 x 2 + 1

10 % 7 == 3, because 10 == 1 x 7 + 3

Your “edit 2” is mostly correct. I don’t think of it “undoing” the division. But if that makes sense to you then I guess it’s fine

Some experienced programmers forget how difficult computers and programming can be for beginners. It’s obvious for us to look at the error and resolve it, but for most people it’s pretty arcane. Relevant XKCD

Unfortunately, I think this is also a right of passage of some sorts. If you want to continue programming you will encounter a problem that you can’t ask or find the answer on the internet and you will have to work through it yourself. I’ve had problems I’ve been stuck in for weeks or months. At least for me, it’s always been such a high when I finally solve these. :)

There’s a big difference between winning a rigged election, and losing an election but staying in power anyway.

There was actually a numberphile of this like 2 days ago. https://youtu.be/47qEMTMKRdA

“You are what you eat”. If someone only consumes fascist propaganda right-wing media, then they will become more fascist right-winged.

To OOP: You might not be able to turn off their TV. But you should share unbiased or left-leaning articles, shows, news, etc. And try to get them to “eat” a more balanced diet.

There are novels that don’t measure up to the writing of visual novels.

There are comics that don’t measure up to the art of visual novels.

There are video games that are less engaging than visual novels.

Broad generalizations like this are so useless. It’s okay that you play one or two visual novels and they weren’t for you. I don’t particularly like visual novels either, but to discredit an entire genre because of it is just ignorant. I’ve played some visual novels that were excellent and pushed the boundaries of video games. See Slay the Princess and Doki Doki Literature Club. I’m playing Date Everything right now, it’s not exactly innovative, but I’m having fun with it.

Well, I’m pretty sure the Earth is in orbit around a star [citation needed], so I would think solar panels on Earth would also be in orbit around a star.

I mean, I suppose that technically a lone satellite with solar panels in orbit around the Sun is probably an extremely limited form of a Dyson sphere — it’s not as if there’s some firm lower bound on what percentage of energy output from the star that needs to be captured. One could presumably scale up incrementally.

By that definition the solar panels that are already on the Earth are a tiny Dyson swarm. And honestly, I approve.

Damn, what a wild take.

Nintendo might not be as innovative as some indie games but they constantly innovate and define new genres.

I mean, look at the consoles. Wii, Wii U, and Switch are all crazy innovative.

Some of their more innovative stuff might not be as popular, e.g., ARMS and LABO. Even their mainline series have some innovative mechanics for the genre.

Serious question. What company is more innovative than Nintendo?

What? No. The divisibility of the side lengths have nothing to do with this.

The problem is what’s the smallest square that can contain 17 identical squares. If there were 16 squares it would be simply 4x4.

RIP Coding Blocks. I listened to them for years but they are on a permanent hiatus.

Similar vibe, but I think about this scene/meme a lot as well.

Likewise, Don Draper is being an asshole in the scene. But, in reality most people don’t think about you.

They could say something that offended you. They are going to forget about it. So there is no need to be upset, chances are they forgot about it.

You could say something dumb or embarrassing. People are going to forget almost immediately.

Who dies at mutter?

I’m sure there’s lots of cases where it could be deadly without good enunciation.

I used to do that. But then I realized it was faster to redownload than copy over from my HDD. I have gigabit fiber internet though.

Edit: I had a really crappy HDD though

Agnostic Vampire: Foolish hunter, I am far more powerful than you. You have no chance at success.

Hunter: Yeah, I really don’t know. You look really strong but I’m really strong too.

Agnostic Vampire: Ahhh!!! Your uncertainty weakens me!

Hunter: Oh wow, this feels like a trap. Now I’m even more uncertain.

Agnostic Vampire: Ahhhhh!!!

They upload a ton to YouTube, but it’s mostly on their shorts channel. I’m sure they upload to TikTok and stuff also.

I’m an exmo. Gender and sex is doctrinally binary, I always wondered how intersex children would be treated. Thanks for sharing. There were lots of things that made me leave, but I always disagreed with the church’s stance on LGBTQI+ issues.

I have small hands and my kids use it without complaining. It’s bigger than a Switch, but not too much bigger. I’ve traveled with it plenty.

This isn’t surprising to me. I know that this might not be strictly relevant to this community, but I thought I’d share anyway.

I live in a conservative state that has restricted a lot of women’s health services(abortions). We had a really great family doctor, she was my wife’s OB, she was my kids pediatrician, she even delivered my youngest. She moved to New Zealand over a year ago and we are still upset over it.

We have multiple friends and acquaintances that had to go to a neighboring state for a “procedure” because hospitals in my state refuse to do anything that medically is related to abortions. One friend had a miscarriage and needed a procedure to remove remaining tissue in her uterus and she had to go to another state, even though there wasn’t an embryo in there anymore.

It’s nuts. I’d love to get out of here, but we have young kids and all of our family is local.
