Yes.

In summary, for the purposes of this analogy, a balloon has no center.

There is evidence of space time being curved

There’s no center of the surface of the balloon (approximating the balloon as a sphere and ignoring the nipple).

If you are standing on the earth, there is no center of the surface of the earth. The actual center of the earth requires movement in the 3rd dimension, but the surface is 2 dimensional.

If our universe is hyper spherical, the “center” would be something unreachable; it would require moving in the 4th spacial dimension.

Good enough 90% of the time makes 99.9% of the money so why bother making things perfect for the power users?

It’s not separate builds, but the App Store already checks your location when you access it, and it uses that location data along with other hints you are under EU jurisdiction to decide whether to allow you to sideload or not.

Or you can use the developer tools to perform a more limited form of sideloading in any country.

Ah, got me

If you add that to the definition, you could still have a “square” with a segment of a circle connecting the edges in the middle

Not Gwen specifically, but I’d recommend seeking mental health resources to anyone who has been exposed to League of Legends.

Updating my computers from Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04 was a whole day process. It doesn’t help that the upgrade tool requires you to press enter every so often.

(Yeah yeah I should try other distros. I’ll play with other distros when I’m not spending my time as pictured in the meme.)

(To be clear this is on a couple computer I personally own. The ones the lab owns are on Ubuntu 20.04 if I’m lucky…)

lol your VPN company is going to kick you the instant you turn on LOIC through them. Your packets wont even get to the target site because you are basically attacking your own VPN.

Cellular respiration is sugar + oxygen -> water + CO2

Combustion reactions are often characterized as anything that is something + oxygen -> water + optionally something else.

The game “Plague Inc” spiked in popularity, so the devs rushed out a game about saving humanity instead of destroying it lol

That would fall under “nonvisual” (meaning not light-based) perception.

A vector space is when you can:

• add two Things
• multiply a Thing by any real number

And get another Thing that’s the same Kind of Thing.

By Thing I mean Vector and by Kind of Thing I mean element of the same Vector Space.

Examples of vector spaces:

• real numbers
• complex numbers
• sets of N numbers (what most people think of when they hear “vector”)
• matrices
• polynomials
• functions
• quantum states of a given system
• quantities of apples sold, classified by type of apple

Examples of Not Vector Spaces:

• integers
• negative numbers
• nonzero numbers
• unitary matrices
• apples

Yeah a few of these come with asterisks I’m happy to answer questions but don’t want to argue with pedants.

This is more like if you measured altitude by counting from sea level vs the center of the earth vs the top of Mount Everest or something

/home is for every program to store its personal junk in hidden files apaprently

Honestly if you buy a Mac give macOS a try. It’s Unix based so you’ll feel at home in the command line. It doesn’t come with a command line package manager but there are two popular ones you can install (homebrew and macports).

Unfortunately it really doesn’t. And it’s actually Linux that’s the bigger problem: whenever it decides to updates GRUB it looks for OSes on all of your drives to make grub entries for them. It also doesn’t necessarily modify the version of grub on the booted drive.

Yes I’m sure there’s a way to manually configure everything perfectly but my goal is a setup where I don’t have to constantly manually fix things.

Don’t show this to the Rust fans
