Ok but the text that you replied to, that you quoted, was “If the event lasts only a moment and leaves no visual cue (e.g. an assault), then binary search is practically useless.” Emphasis mine. If you’d started out saying “there’s ALWAYS a visual cue,” then you likely wouldn’t be getting dragged, but you started out arguing from this position without clarifying it, which makes it seem like you didn’t know what you were talking about. You can’t say that you can simply look for visual cues when the other person specified that there were none.

But the comment you replied to wasn’t talking about bike thefts specifically, it was talking about unspecified situations that don’t leave traces. You responded to someone saying that binary search doesn’t work in situations that don’t leave cues not by arguing against the premise (e.g. “but no such event exists, everything leaves cues”), but by telling them that you simply have to look for the cues from the hypothetical event that didn’t leave any.

ISO 8601 baby

It depends on whether he uses it despite the fact that the developer donates money to homophobic political campaigns, or because of that

My favorite is when I realize I’ve argued with the same communist in multiple threads. He’s just so consistently wrong about everything

Gboard does it too. I’m fairly certain I use the possessive form of “its” more often than the contraction “it’s,” but the damn thing sees an s at the end of a word and is like “that’s GOTTA be a contraction!”

Can confirm, at least one person has done NNN and no shave november. It’s really easy, you just have to not do a thing and you’re set

NaNoWriMo? It’s a push to get that writing project out of your brain and onto paper, it’s super helpful for some people just to have something telling them to do the thing.

NNN? Test of self control. “I can quit any time I want” is something addicts say when they can’t quit any time they want. It’s also super easy; if it feels like masochism to not nut for more than a week, you’re addicted.

No shave november? Pure, unadulterated laziness.

He’s that engineer guy from the original star trek, not sure why he’s got a weird shirt on though

Yup, I figured they were joking because my username has @sh.itjust.works in it, and yup, local browsing is kinda ass but I mainly browse the equivalent of /r/all (hence my commenting in a lemmy.ml thread)

Do y’all actually care what instance you’re on? The only thing keeping me on SJW is that it would take a whole minute to make an account elsewhere

I remember hearing that his actor got arrested a while back, and was afraid he’d done something horrendous, but it turned out he just got in a bar fight

Which if anything makes me like his portrayal of Homelander even more

Yeah, I mean he’s definitely a prick, but I’m okay with my money going to pricks if they make an entertaining show

Any time I see a problem I can solve with one of my amateur hobbies (lock picking, 3d printing, etc), him saying “I can do that” is always the first thing that comes to mind.

free will is sort of like the Prime Directive in Star Trek

That’s a really apt comparison because they play fast and loose with the prime directive all the time, using it as an excuse for inaction while flagrantly disregarding it whenever it suits them
