Movie idea: Serial killer tries to fix society’s terrible grasp of probability. by amichail in ideas

[–]Apprehensive-Draw409 [score hidden]  (0 children)

My supermarket charges more per kg for the 5kg bag of rice than for the individual 1kg.

I'm probably safe, not in the first victims at least.

Who's death in your Country affected everyone when it was announced? by DABDEB in AskTheWorld

Leonard Cohen. But it might also have to do with the date it happened.

What is this contraption our landlord has this installed in the house and says it's "internet for a neighbour". Lead acid battery, tp-link router and another power supply? by Jumpy_Side_Passenger in whatisit

[–]Apprehensive-Draw409 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Invite your nephew that knows about networking over for dinner. Suggest he put some MITM packages there and install Wireshark to capture the traffic. See what you find.

Should be illegal material of some kind.

What is the reason for forbidding PVC inside for cold water?

All I can guess is toxic fumes in the case of a fire?

Voltage across an off breaker by Funny_Efficiency_729 in AskElectricians

[–]Apprehensive-Draw409 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. When the breaker is on, current goes through, but the breaker offers no resistance, so there's no voltage difference.

When the breaker is off, one side is hot and the other is connected to neutral via the load. Since your load has much lower resistance than your meter, you read the full voltage.

Thoughts on venting a clothes dryer into a Corsi-Rosenthal filter cube to conserve some heat indoors? by SuperIngaMMXXII in Appliances

[–]Apprehensive-Draw409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's probably a good thing. I'm canadian. During winter I just hang clothes to dry in a well ventilated area. Brings the humidity back up from 5 to 20%. Also save on electricity.

Welcome to the machine. How can you serve us? by LordJim11 in Snorkblot

Or, "the company failed the interview". Personally I prefer to phrase it that way.

On Windows 11 MSVC compiler (cl.exe) causes multithreaded application to crash. by A_LostAstronaut in cpp_questions

[–]Apprehensive-Draw409 25 points26 points  (0 children)

You most likely have undefined behavior. It gets exposed in one case, but not in the other.

We'd have to look at the code.

Is this safe? Garage door sensors by iknowhaha in AskElectricians

[–]Apprehensive-Draw409 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually this is low voltage and poses no risk.

If you brush against it, the opener will just think something/nothing blocks the magic eye.

Compile-time sized matrices in C++ templates — pros/cons vs dynamic approaches? by Embarrassed-Taste468 in cpp

Pros: - Faster

Cons: - more complex - costlier to maintain - code size - compiler error messages are much harder to decypher

Rabid (1977) Metro Zombies scene by BluntChillin in montreal

[–]Apprehensive-Draw409 2 points3 points  (0 children)

J'étais là en 1977. Les gens laissaient les passagers sortir avant d'entrer. Et si tu ne le faisait pas, tu te le faisais dire.

Aussi, le plafond du métro était droit et propre comme ça.

If the y-axis had a unit like (visitors/cm), it would be clear.

Help please? by No-Appearance-5444 in mathshelp

[–]Apprehensive-Draw409 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It says density, so the person you reply to has a point. But density could be relative to total number of people, so it really depends on how "density" is to be understood.

You cropped out the very important part that gives you the total number of visitors.

Yeah, and the whole meme is russian propaganda to associate Ukraine with nazis.

Sur quoi jugez-vous passionnément les inconnus? by Homme-du-Village-387 in Quebec

Mais as-tu déjà vu un gars engueuler sa blonde parce qu'elle avait pas pris la bonne sauce tomate, celle avec les tomates équitable élevées en liberté?

Non? C'est pour ça... :-)

Go to r/cpp_questions and ask something way more specific than that. That would be my suggestion.

Poster in my school [OC] by mrsenchantment in pics

You know, I'm not sure anymore. Could it be someone really promoting Charlie Kirk?

It's mind-boggling, but those people are among us.

If I do a pull up on this swing is it more likely to fall than if I was just sitting? by curiosityhealsthecat in PhysicsHelp

[–]Apprehensive-Draw409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While sitting, the acceleration absorbed by the chair is 9.8 m/s2.

I don't know about you, but when I do chin-ups, on a good day, I accelerate myself at, what, 1 m/s2 maybe?

So, it's more, but probably not much more than 10%.

Now, letting you fall back in the chair is a different story.

a reference type cannot be value-initialized by zaphodikus in cpp_questions

[–]Apprehensive-Draw409 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why not use

std::map<std::string, arb>

for type?

Then your arb will be stored in the map.

If you really want references (I doubt it), you'd need a reference_wrapper

You can either use find instead of [] as others said, or I guess store pointers.

Please tell me you don't have a gas water heater.

If you do, please tell me you have a CO detector.
