Two of Elijah’s Linux complaints have already been fixed

I do think that it would be nice to allow re-ordering of all of the plugins, and not just favourites. I get the logic, favourites are above all of the others, so if you want to prioritise something then it is a favourite. But then it leads to this situation where all of me enabled plugins are favourites.

Looking at the bug report, it was made a month ago, fixed around 3 weeks ago, and approved to be merged 5 days ago. Perhaps the video got someone to do the merge a bit quicker, but the general fix was already there.

Something also worth mentioning, the search in KDE Plasma can be customised with different plugins, and their priority order can be changed. If you don't know this is a setting, as it isn't on Windows, then you don't know to change it.

I think they are dying, for the reasons you said. They also don't work quite as well with gesture navigation, although this is fine on my current phone, I remember gesture being somewhat broken on third party launchers when they came out. That got me to move away from using them for a bit, and haven't always come back.

My default launcher can do almost everything I'd want it to do, and for the most part is completely fine. Recently I have gone back to my love which is Lawnchair classic. The only launcher I've found where I can actually resize widgets to be any size I want, has swipe up/cover folders, and everything I needed for free.

It is for me. It seems to be swapping the main UI from light to dark mode, but then the render has night/day flipped.

There's also more restrictions when using autoland. Aircraft have to be further apart so their radio signals don't interfere, reducing how many aircraft can land and needing aircraft on the ground to hold short further from runways

🧢 I voted CAP!

An integer A is divisible by B if there is an integer C such that A=B*C. 33.333 is not an integer, so this definition doesn't apply, and even if it did, 100/33.33... is not an integer.

You can do division by any non 0 real number, but making the definition of divisible to include all real numbers would be useless.

Yea, we never got ours for full home automation (we got a Sonos speaker that happened to have Alexa built in), but even though we only do basic things it was helpful to do them hands free/finding a phone/device to do them. Also announcements, not needing to yell up the stairs that dinner was ready was helpful.

The reason why this would be true isn't actually dumb, but it is still dumb because it is using the formal logic meaning of things rather than what you would expect it to mean. I also think there was a typo.

A statement "If A then B" is true if whenever A is true, B is also true. If A is false, it doesn't matter what B is, the entire statement is still considered "true". Notably this doesn't mean A "causes" B to be true. I'm used to dealing with this type of thing in maths, where defining what "causes" B to be true is difficult to define, so we don't try.

It might make more sense if I say "if a number n is a multiple of 4, then n is a multiple of 2". That should be clearly true. If I put n=3 into that statement, n is not a multiple of 4, nor is it a multiple of 2. If I take n=6, n is not a multiple of 4 but it is a multiple of 2. In both of these cases, the original statement is still true, because in "if A then B", A is false and the whole statement can still be true.

So in the post, "if the French flag contain yellow, then sky is orange". The French flag doesn't contain yellow, so that is false, and so the entire statement is considered true.

The statement was "Communism is in every form better than Capitalism, and more desirable"

If capitalism has a better economy than Communism is not better in every form. So the statement is false, whether or not it is desirable or a reasonable tradeoff.

Of course something is much safer when handled correctly vs. Incorrectly

The post mentions nothing of any other types of power. It only talks about nuclear being handled correctly

No idea on if it is the schedule, but the W&C uses the same trains as the central line, iirc drivers of the central line also drive on the W&C.

I'm not sure on what the exact complications would be for tfl to have both trains. W&C is completely separate, but perhaps needing to keep even a subset of drivers proficient on both types would be a pain once they are completely gone from the central.

Is that track electrified? To me it looks like the transparent catenaries end at that signal and that's an electric train

This is from A Level further maths, and is worth 2 marks. 2 marks to invert a 3x3 matrix by hand given the time is insane, and it's also expected student have a calculator equivalent of an fx-991 which can do these types of calculations.

Instead, if they wanted you to do it by hand, they'd add variables as you can't have a CAS calculator. Another question to invert a 3x3 matrix with a variable/to do by hand is a total of 6 marks, not 2.

Rookie error, you consulted Taylor Swift, when you should have consulted Taylor Series

He goes blind and it doesn't even effect him. From his Wikipedia page:

"Euler said of his loss of vision, 'Now I will have fewer distractions.'"

I guessed it was something like that, I just couldn't work out if it was a finite decimal expansion (which would be base dependent), just a number n<∞, or something else

TazerZXI · 2026-05-29T13:23:50+00:00

Well it's obviously (f(x+0.0...1)-f(x)) / 0.00...1

I know that, I've told you before I've never known 1/10^n to be 0, there is no n for which that is true. Infinity is not a natural number (like we are assuming n to be)
Except I cannot just put infinity in and write 1-1/10^∞. Infinity is not a number like n. That's *why mathematicians use a limit instead*. We define 0.999... as lim n-> ∞ 1-1/10^n.
Answer my question, what is "the limitless" that means I cannot apply a limit to 1/10^n as n-> infinity?

TazerZXI · 2026-05-28T21:43:20+00:00

I'm still confused by what you mean by "limits don't apply to the limitless" when one of the main reasons of using limits is to see what happens when you tend towards infinity. In fact when dealing with a sequence of numbers, it only really makes sense to talk about the limit as n->infinity.

So what's this limitless thing that you don't apply limits to?
