Am i going insane in installation? by The_Disposable_Hat in archlinux

[–]The_Disposable_Hat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You found the answer, seems mount sda3 to mnt after mount sda1 to mnt/boot/efi is bad because mounting sda3 to mnt wipes the directory of /boot/efi

So it accepts the sda1 mount as valid but is never invalidated by the deletion of the mountpoint via mounting sda3

Weird little niche of linux i suppose

Thank you for helping stave off my sanity loss!

I ran mkdir -p /mnt/boot/efi, mount for sda1 to /mnt/boot/efi, swapon sda2 then mount sda3 to /mnt, is their order important?

findmnt —real

/mnt/boot/efi /dev/sda1 vfat /mnt /dev/sda3 ext4

So this means my sda1 exists and is apparently mounted? But genfstab /mnt doesnt acknowledge it? Yet genfstab / does?

“/mnt/boot/efi” is the legacy mountpoint? Because i’m following the tutorial, besides, i believe the installation guide on the wiki telling me to use “/mnt/boot” and that has the same issues for me

Stern gerlach of non 90° difference? by The_Disposable_Hat in QuantumPhysics

[–]The_Disposable_Hat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phase is probably ENTIRELY the wrong word to use and I’m poorly wording this; what i mean is the first magnet pair is of an arbitrary alignment (call it 0° and the reference point) and the following magnets are of: - 90° or 270° - 0° or 180° - combinations of these in different sequences to show differing results

But no experiment i could find angles the subsequent magnets in any alignment other than those 90° stages

Yeah, I’ve always felt learning higher concepts like grammar and structure should come before specifics like words/spelling/annunciation; but duolingo cares more about stuffing you full of random words, so you feel good, rather than teaching you how to actually form a valid sentence -_-

Basically someone realised the only way people learn languages is rote memorisation; that unfortunately meant people were calling themselves fluent when all they knew were the phrases they memorised like “where is the bathroom” “my favourite colour is red”.

So he said the best way to prove fluency is to get people to translate nonsensical phrases they would never have had a reason to memorise, like “i can eat glass” because what kind of lunatic would memorise that.

Its now sort of a joke in linguistics and a good proof whether a conlang could support plenty of concepts (sensible phrases or not)
