And now we have free threads so I can’t say at least you don’t have normal concurrency problems 🤣

I think the confusing part is that the rule is presented without the problem it solves.

The problem is when you take two vectors in 3d and want to find the vector orthogonal (perpendicular) to both, you have 2 valid choices.

The right hand rule is a way to pick the same one every time if you always label the two vectors you start with consistently i.e. make your thumb vector 1, pointer vector 2, then your middle finger points the direction of a perpendicular vector that matches the handedness of the hand you used.

This matters anywhere a vector cross product is used in physics, like calculating what direction an electron feels force when moving through a magnetic field. The physics doesn’t change, but you’ll have negatives in different places when comparing results calculated with a right handed convention (coordinate system) with a left handed convention.

When checking the handedness of your coordinate system, you point your thumb and pointer finger in the positive direction of any two dimensions then check if your middle finger points in the positive direction of the third dimension.

I thought the problem was that fracking produces oil, which is processed and burnt for energy ultimately releasing excess carbon? Idk it’s been a while since I’ve caught up with climate science :/

Ya we need the spicy deets

As much as the hacker in me would love to do this, I sincerely hope ideas (posts… not ideas really) like this don’t become fodder for the paranoia propaganda machine driving MAGA.

Yes

You could try drinking the juice out of a can of beans 😹

Lol wait is a joule actually one Newton meter? 😅

Now I’m so confused

E=mc^2 so m is joule seconds^2 / meter ^ 2

F=ma so m is Newton seconds^2 / meter

A joule is 1 Newton / meter so they agree

It’s not a fungal hellscape because the rest of us live at the mercy of fungus.

Ready to publish!

Now we’re in the List of things we “own” on Amazon prime and watch over and over era

Yeah they have 31 flavors or something like that

I hate it so much, but the Baskin Robbins BR has the number 31 in it

Ah I was trying to point out that CSV is the inefficient format. Reading a large amount of data from a more efficient format like parquet is more likely to cause trouble because the memory required can be more than the file size. CSV is the opposite where it will almost always use more disk space than is required to represent the data in memory.

It’s more likely you’ll eat up storage when you read a 600mb parquet and try to write it as CSV.

600MB? What is this, 2004?

You could look for inspiration at pet flea and tick products

Thank you!

So STAR is a type of ranked choice, one that makes perfect sense afaict.

Missing details like this got us where we are today 🙃

How is this better than ranked choice? I’ve never heard of it
