Don’t you think the Swiss out more into Horizon than they got out?
92.
by chrisseaton 4y ago
Yeah but why turn the screw with Horizon? The Swiss input far more into Horizon than they got out - more damaging to the EU than the Swiss - should have turned another screw.

They’re not anywhere near where the Swiss universities are if you look at the rankings.

> This has e.g. happened with the Horizon Europe research program which Switzerland is no longer part of. That’s so self-destructive - surely the EU needs Switzerland’s powerful universities more than Switzerland needs Horizon?

What do you think is happening when you use set with a float on a map? How do you explain this? const map = new Map(); map.set(1, 3); map.get(1); // 3 map.set(1.2, 3.4); map.get(1.2); // 3.4 typ

They have a job. Redundancy is taking their job away. There's a recession.

I don't know - I think that proves what I said - map keys can be floats.

Square brackets were a typo - I didn't run it I just wrote it off the top of my head. Doesn't your correct prove what I said though?
101.
by chrisseaton 4y ago
Yes the square brackets were just a typo. But maps do support float keys - you can try it yourself! map = new Map(); map.set(1.2, 3.4); log(typeof(map.keys().next().value)); That says the key is a number, and it's a floating

by chrisseaton 4y ago
Right - should be using set and get - was written out without running it. But isn't this still a map that has float and integer keys? Why doesn't it count?

> ECMAScript does not have maps where keys can be integers and neither can keys be floats. map = new Map(); map[1] = 3; map[1]; // 3 map[1.2] = 3.4; map[1.2]; // 3.4 typeof(map.keys().next().value); &#x2

JavaScript conceptually only has floats (ignoring big integers, which isn't what most people use for numbers), so any map of numbers to values is using a float key. You refer to that, but yeah they're all floats. > it's ge

It's done all the time in JavaScript. Why not in Java?

No, read it again more carefully. They’ve selected colours from the subset of RGB that is representable with 12-bits. > The palette uses a 12-bit colour depth, so each colour requires only four characters when specified as a hexadecimal

by chrisseaton 4y ago
You’re misunderstanding - they mean they’ve chosen colours from a 12-bit subset of RGB.

…because the discussion is about working people being able to access things? It’s not relevant for people who can pay anything. I think you’re deliberately being confused.

I could cover the entire of her latest album and sell copies? I didn't think copyright allowed for that without permission but maybe I don't know copyright like I thought I did.

No lots of working class people save up to go to concerts, or prioritise it over other spending I'm sure.

by chrisseaton 4y ago
Unreasonable thought experiment - Taylor Swift has a monopoly on her music catalogue. If we removed that monopoly and allowed others to perform and sell it, it'd reduce costs for working people.

The artist's part of the ticket prices already makes them a luxury even if you removed Ticketmaster. If people have some kind of human right to see live music why aren't her tickets cheaper in the first place?

Going to a concert is a pure luxury. It's like getting excited that Champagne is too expensive - not really a working person's problem, and I'm not sure pure luxuries need government intervention in the same way as communicat

Seems likely they served the very best they could produce? And most people thought they were still not something that could be served in a restaurant.

Many people object to eating or using any animal products at all as a red-line on ethical grounds - that can't be news to you?
