The real nightmare is the kerning.

Also what I was taught in US Spanish classes.

Man, I wouldn’t even want to try to do a crossword in Spanish, and compared to an alien language it’s basically just English with more accent marks.

People on the other side don’t deserve a mnemonic.

Made me feel like I was crazy the first time I installed pedals on a bike.

My cat used to go in my bathroom and yowl until I went in and got him. Now he has progressed to just yowling in any room with no people in it.

Then use C or C++ if you really need performance.

And that’s where I stopped. I’m a real working programmer who’s done tons of work in C++, so I know firsthand that it absolutely sucks compared to Rust. Go back to Typescript if you hate Rust so much.

const

They don’t do it well, but an attempt was made.

To be fair, that’s an issue in almost every imperative language and even some functional languages. Rust, C, and C++ are the only imperative languages I know of that make a serious effort to restrict mutability.

For those who, like me, have never heard of a .gitkeep file: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7229885/what-are-the-differences-between-gitignore-and-gitkeep

Not wanting to fix a problem includes not caring if it’s fixed or not.

I’ve never been much of a Nintendo fan, but news like this makes me want to get into using Nintendo emulators.

Sorry, I was being cranky.

Supermassive black holes (SMBs) are much, much bigger than any star. If you look at this Wikipedia article, you’ll see that the theoretical limit for star size is in the neighborhood of 300 times the mass of the sun. SMBs are at least hundreds of thousands of times more massive than the sun, up to billions of time more massive. They are also probably older than any star because they had to exist the form the seeds of galaxies. One of the open questions in astrophysics right now is how SMBs formed as quickly as they did, because there’s a limit on how quickly a black hole can absorb matter. Any faster than that limit, and the matter falling into the black hole is so hot and dense that a lot of it gets blown outward.

If you find this stuff at all interesting, I recommend checking out PBS Space Time on YouTube, particularly their black hole episodes.

Be that as it may, you clearly don’t know what you’re taking about and aren’t interested in learning.

Ever. It’s not entirely known how supermassive black holes formed, but it’s definitely not from stars. They’re millions of times as massive as the sun.

The Wikipedia article kind of alludes to it, but this article by John Baez pretty much comes out and says the virtual particle explanation makes no sense.

physics. Hawking radiation isn’t jets. Hawking radiation is when subatomic particles pop into existence and one is below the event horizon

I don’t believe that’s correct. At least, the last time I looked into it, the sources I looked at specifically said that version is oversimplified to the point of just being wrong.

I don’t know how true it is, but I read in another thread recently that Planck mass is about the mass of an eyelash and also the minimum mass of a black hole. Below that mass the location of a particle isn’t localized enough for it to be a black hole. Also IIRC the Schwartzchild radius of such a black hole is something like twice Planck length.

Not a star.

Why are we looking for new technologies?

Why are we writing new software? There’s plenty already.
