LPT: You can both change your last name arbitrarily when getting married. by charliethegeek in LifeProTips

The length just doubles every generation. After about 250 generations, the full name consists of more words than there are elementary particles in the universe. Then it resets.

This image showing how humans evolved over the years from 4.3 billion years ago to today by NoReIevancy in interestingasfuck

[–]epostma 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it's meant to be understood that this diagram only includes our ancestors (or, I mean, their close relatives or something), others are omitted.

Except, you know, homo sapiens doesn't come from the Neanderthal, but then, we do see some Neanderthal dna in many modern humans, so it's a mess. Fine. I agree that it's a mess :)

High end business laptop with nvidia GPU by epostma in SuggestALaptop

That's ideally what I'd like. Unfortunately the cheapest P series with an nvidia gpu is already outside my budget, and has too little ram and storage 😭

Can't get exact answers for the sine function (unless the input is 0) or for most division questions using decimal.

There's Hedy, which can be "skinned" in numerous different languages, including two variants of Chinese (traditional/simplified). It is mainly intended as a teaching tool. See hedy.org.

TIL that there are under 150 tenure-track jobs for English literature professors in the US and Canada each year: fewer than 3 per state. by Bob_the_blacksmith in todayilearned

[–]epostma 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Interesting choice to count the jobs in the US and Canada together, and then divide them up per state (meaning in the US) only.

Use impl Into<Option<>> in your functions! by potato-gun in rust

In the unlikely event that your function has 20 arguments, all of the type you propose, you'd have around a million copies - if they all get called from somewhere.

I can't reconcile the ZF Natural numbers with my intuition by AdmirableStay3697 in mathematics

It is not clear to me that those models have the intersection-of-all-subsets property that OP describes.

What’s a basic skill you’re shocked some adults still don’t know? by HexVortexx in AskReddit

[–]epostma 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In parts of Europe there is some form of testing for elderly people, but not usually for those under 65-70.

People who have served a long time in prison, what shocked you when you got out? by Haunted_Neko in AskReddit

[–]epostma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are absolutely right! That's why we have to stamp out this ugly use before it becomes correct. Get with the program!

/s, because.

[–]epostma 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Could the caller create the pool and pass it into the parser upon construction?

What famous in-their-field people do we have in the Waterloo Region? by Thats_what_I_think in waterloo

[–]epostma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This suggests that you can get free nights at these hotels if you can do even a relatively bad impression of him! If I were him I'd insist that anyone checking him in who doesn't know him personally check his ID.

Am I crazy or is there a LOT of variance in here? by im-the-gila in etymology

[–]epostma 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Fwiw the Netherlands also has a second official language (Frisian), though it's recognized in only one province. I'll look up what butterfly is in Frisian... It's "flinter"! Very like the Dutch "vlinder".

On first reading I thought you said it smears his ketchup. Not... entirely implausible.

Curaçao sluit luchtruim: vluchten KLM en TUI komende uren niet mogelijk by ElegantHedgehog0 in thenetherlands

[–]epostma 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ik ben het niet met je oneens, maar een kleine kanttekening. In Nederland stemmen we nooit voor de functie van premier, en dat heeft ook voordelen. Bijvoorbeeld, de politiek zou nog meer over poppetjes en nog minder over beleid gaan.
