Oh, you mean somewhere it is tracking the statistical likelihood of the output. Yeah I buy that, although I think it just tends towards the most likely output given the context that it is dragging along. I mean it wouldn’t deliberately choo

>Linefeed (\n) is a single byte in DOS as well. In binary mode. In text mode if you printf(“Hello World\n”) you get CRLF because that’s how text works on DOS. Unix had the convention of only requiring the LF for text. And Unix didn’t ha

Going all the way back to the earliest C compilers on DOS. There was a decision made to make “\n” just work on DOS for portability of Unix programs, and to make the examples from the C programming book just work. But in Unix “\n” is a singl

Copyright has a lot to do with what we as a society want to protect and encourage. We want to protect an author that put the hours into creating a book, as opposed to the person creating a copy of that work. The person copying can claim the

Yeah it’s just meant to be funny, in a haha-been-there kind of way. It’s an example of Asperger’s -like thinking, overly literal. My friend was embarrassed in front of his gf, and he learned what indirect speaking was. Indirect speakers do

There does not appear to be one in this robot, from what I am able to read about it. I think sometimes people assume there must be something like that to help balance. This generalizes fixed 2-wheel dynamic balancers which mostly don’t have
