It's not entirely clear if that definition includes 1. On one hand 1 is certainly divisible by both itself and 1, but on the other hand they are the same number, so maybe it shouldn't count for "both", because the word &

I'm sure there are extreme cases but the vast majority of homeless are not much different than you and I. It does not need to be cheaper for every single homeless person individually, just cheaper on average. If you can rehabilitate ev

-40°C is extremely rare in Southern Finland where most people live. In Helsinki the average temperature is about -6°C in the coldest months of the year, and at worst it might drop down to around -15 to -25°C (depending on the year).

The US approach to fighting homelessness is the equivalent of hiring more and more cleaners to mop the floor instead of spending a little bit more upfront to fix the leaky pipes. It's both expensive and ineffective (much like the healt

A stable environment is certainly going to dramatically increase the chance of overcoming an addiction. It obviously does not guarantee success but it's a crucial first step in the process. As pointed out in the article the housing fir

I don't know of any concrete examples of "tritwise tricks" (this is not my area of expertise). But as ternary logic is a superset of boolean logic there are more possibilities available (3*3=9 different state transitions comp

> Control flow, bit masking, and a mountain of other useful things are all predicated on boolean logic. At best it would be a waste of an extra bit, and would also introduce ambiguity and complexity at the lowest levels of the machine, w

From reading the code it looks like it's just taking a screenshot (.jpg) and sending it once a second. Does doing it that way actually save on bandwidth compared to modern video compression (that re-use information from previous frames

I probably could have worded my criticism more clearly. I know there are interesting technical details under the hood, and I'm sure they are great, but that's not really what I was talking about. I was talking specifically about i

I had high hopes that System76 would take advantage of the chance to establish a clear design language around their new desktop environment from the get-go, but from the screenshots it looks like they're happy to repeat the mistakes of

In many rural/remote locations – especially off the grid – heating with wood (or oil-based products) is the only way to survive the winter. It isn't necessary to cut down entire forests to produce wood either – if you own some for

I've been using Kagi as my primary search engine for over 2 years. The search is much more customizable than anything else out there, and the results are usually slightly better than Google's. I don't find their current AI of

Most people don't want to be cult leaders. Unless they are an attention hungry person (which we can safely rule out at this point) they have nothing to gain from making their identity known. And I assume the tax authorities might be so

It looks great but I would not be able to use it as-is because different kinds of elements (button, textbox, dropdown) look too similar. I'd rather make an ugly but usable site than the other way around.

The book (which I really like so far, 7 chapters in) is more of a deep dive which covers a lot of the gotchas and intricacies without shying away from the nastier parts of the language. The documentation on the official site should get you
