I have to be that guy: it’s K, not °K.

There was no iPhone 9.

He said his grandparents told him so

I guess it’s only the case for the Mandarin-speaking population

I generally agree, and I have the same mindset. So you can imagine how surprised I was when my Taiwanese friend told me how much better off Taiwan was after the Japanese occupation. Probably the only Asians with a positive opinion of Japan…

Japan also is dominated by iOS

That’s because it just sounds cool… But for Valve, I assume the reason is that it’s like the counterpart to Proton (protons are in the nucleus, and electrons are leptons)

Evolution and shit

I’ve seen you multiple times now and I have a question: The transcription of your name in Latin letters is the Japanese reading of the hanzi/kanji, isn’t it? Or is the Chinese reading really so similar?

I’m German and I didn’t know we can count to 720 with our hands…

!Explanation: An exclamation mark marks factorial, and 6 factorial is 720.!<

Ich hatte auch einen richtigen Banger beim täglichen Pendeln: Vorherige S-Bahn fährt genau vor meinen Augen ab. Nächste S-Bahn fällt aus. In den Bus komme ich kaum, weil er so voll ist. Bustür geht erstmal 10 Minuten nicht. Und zum Schluss fährt die U-Bahn 20 Minuten ohne Durchsage nicht weiter.

Americans generalizing the whole of Europe again. In Germany, a large coffee is certainly not the American size, but it’s also not the small Italian size.

So you’re saying waves and particles are projections into 4D spacetime from some higher-dimensional spacetime?

The use of watashi wa would give it away. Japanese people basically never say I at all

The fermion number conservation would be violated anyways.

I’m pretty sure it’s 1990. The two digits in the middle start curving in the image, while the last one doesn’t.

Isn’t Polestar a joint venture with a Chinese company?

Fedora supports secure boot out of the box

Fun fact: German actually has a distinction between these two meanings of the same. “Dasselbe Schiff” would be the ship itself, and no other ship, even if it is the same. “Das gleiche Schiff” is another ship that is the same.

But I think it’s better for it to fail from expected behavior vs unexpected behavior. Your storage being full is very transparent and expected, but that a file reaches max size and starts cutting off is unexpected and would surprise a lot of people.

I myself use supercomputers and the log files can get into a lot of GB, and I would hate it if it just cut off at some point.
