It's how CPUs do floating point calculations. It's not just javascript. Long story short, a float is stored in the format of one bit for the +/-, some bits for a base value (mantissa), and some bits for the exponent. As a result, some numbers aren't quite representable exactly.

Means TV, but it's a subscription version of YouTube for leftist content and it's a cooperative. The Means Morning News channel is 80s/90s cheesey and a decent news summary that ends with the Rich Dick award

I don't think you'll be complaining on any of them. Was having gigabit nice? Of course, but 350 is plenty. Most services won't even transfer that quickly to you and you can run a lot of video streams on that.

But the main way to tell would be if your router has a traffic meter on it since it has all devices going through it. Otherwise if you're mainly on PC you can use the task manager to see how much is going on and out

I don't know what country you're in, so something specific can be difficult to say as to where to go. It can often take a few days (3ish sometimes) for some tests to show positive, but get tested and "test where you play". It should be cheap or free. It probably isn't a big deal, so don't freak out, just get tested. Go to a clinic or a doctor's office, or call them first.

In Becky Chambers' Wayfarer series, there is a species who actually breathes methane. The focus though is less on how that actually happens and more on how they navigate as the only species for whom oxygen is toxic. It's a great series, btw. It's a not-quite-as-optimistic as star trek future, but still optimistic and with a vast range of species who are all intermingling as learning how to get along.

Not always, it was an octothorpe before phones

Very accurate. But don't worry, there are worse places along the way!

Proton and its services have been pretty good. Some things to know about proton mail:

  • Search is only for titles, as content is encrypted
  • You can do search in the body in your browser. It downloads your email into the browser and searchers locally. It takes a while to do this and build up indexes. I haven't had too much issue searching for things though.
  • Since they don't read your email, no automatic calendar events if there isn't a .ics

The VPN had been great

The storage isn't enough for me to be able to move off of my main cloud provider. There also isn't a way to pin a file on Android for it - and the 500gGB of space is less than I use

The Pass app is handy and it's easy to make aliases, though it often doesn't know to fill in, doesn't do it, or something, and I need to open the app to copy paste. Pretty trivial though.

I'm sticking with them. I don't really have a reason to leave. The aliases are really nice, the catch is that it's not easy to have them go to a sub email address that I use - it has to go to your primary email. Not a huge deal though.

Low effort? I thought winning a tournament was big effort!

While reporting on the inequality and unequal treatment between tourists and locals in Oaxaca, Mexico, Bianca was told to not mention the hotel chain because they were affiliated with the company.

In Oaxaca, there is a water shortage that has a great impact on the people there and in the surrounding area. But if you're a tourist, you may not even know.

This story was censored by a big and well-known media company. So I decided to tell it on my own. I look into the following question: does the current tourism model in Oaxaca lead to deeper inequality?

 

This is a feature that I miss, along with attachments on calendar events. I was thinking of building something myself using NLP and NER to read an email and extract calendar details from it, but I'd need access to an API to be able to do that and the API is no longer public. Is there any way to either get access to these APIs or some other workaround for this?
