    You can tell OP does not believe any person outside of America is human.

    You did a lot more than conclude they have either been tuned out or need to re-think some things, and you know it.

    Get out of here with that "If you’re not vocally against every evil at all times… " bullshit. It’s got the same energy as injecting “but what about men?” into every conversation about women’s problems.





  • I do find it interesting/funny that Google felt the need to actually provide this, as a sort of acknowledgement that their main search “results” page is so full of random info boxes and generated content that people can’t find actual links anymore.

    Personally, and In principle at least, this makes sense. About half of my web searches are looking for a quick answer to a question (what’s the per pound cook time for a frozen turkey?), so having that answer highlighted and summarized alongside the source is very useful. It’s actually the minority of the time that what I really want is a link to an external resource.

    The effectiveness of that implementation and the accuracy of the summarized info is a whole other topic…








  • Not all USB power supplies are rated for the current the rpi requires (i forget the number off hand). Anecdotally I had nothing but trouble using a name brand charger supposedly rated for the correct current, which disappeared the instant I switched to a $15 power supply specifically sold for rpi.

    For the minor cost and potential headaches of brownouts and unexpected shutdowns, and given that you are asking the question, I would absolutely go with one made for an rpi.


  • This is kind of a weirdly phrased question.

    Mathematically, THE argument of the sine function is the angle in question. One definition of sine, using the sides of a right triangle, is the ratio of the opposite leg to the hypotenuse of said triangle: sin(theta)=opposite/hypotenuse.

    Edit: it occurred to me that maybe what you’re asking is how to compute the angle, theta, for which sin(theta) = a certain ratio of opposite/hypotenuse. There is an inverse sine function (often called arcsin) that does just that. Arcsin(opp/hyp)=theta. That’s the case where it would make sense to take the side lengths as arguments.

    Going off OP’s thought–the pump or spray bottles whose design and/or straw length makes it literally impossible to get the last bit of product out. I’ve had some where the straw just plain ends about 1/2" from the bottom so there was never even a chance to use all the product you paid for.

    The worst part is I’ve also used spray bottles that–through very minor design tweaks–enable you to get virtually every speck of liquid. So it’s not like it’s even hard problem to solve, but fuck you just throw out the last 10% and buy a new bottle!
