My wife is unemployed and loves doing gift stuff including wrapping. Even constantly asking if I want them to wrap their gifts for themself lol. I think some folks just see this without having loved it and assume it’s bad. The reality is couples split their chores. My wife doesn’t help me with yard work, even while unemployed, does it make them a deadbeat? No. That’s just not how we split the chores.

Yeah, after reading the answers I see it more clearly. Also, I assume in hindsight that it’s three switches which can be on or off, so we know if all three are off the light is off. Which helps as well.

Like I said, it’s been over a decade, some of the specifics may be lost to me.

YOU’RE DOOMED! You must weigh two against two in the first step.

Impossible even if you know if the light is on or off to start with. Even then, there are 2 possible outcomes which means the solution space halves on each test. 3 divided by 2 is greater than 1 (1.5) so we cannot figure it out in a single test.

That’s my recollection of how to solve these from computer science. The classic one is 8 coins and figuring out which one weighs a different amount (and you don’t know if it is more or less). You have a scale that tells you which side is heavier (or equal) but it doesn’t give readouts (as in it doesn’t say a side is X pounds/grams). With only three uses of the scale, how can you find the fake coin? I’m not going to go into the process in depth but because you have THREE outcomes (left heavier, equal, and right heavier) you reduce the solution space (which of the 8 coins is the bad one) by a THIRD each test. The number 8 sort of lures into thinking powers of 2. You can actually do it with 9 coins in 3 tests.

Some of the details of my explanation may be wrong, it’s been over a decade since I took that class in college lol. It was my worst professor (while different story lol) but I distinctly remember him talking about this. He had a very thick accent, some form of eastern European or Russian, I’m not really sure what exactly. But he gave us that problem as homework or something or maybe just to think about. And he’d ask us to explain how we’d do it. Whenever someone began to describe something doing like test 4, 2, etc instead of the correct way (which involves using coins you already tested) he’d say “YOU’RE DOOMED!” Then someone else would try, and when they got to a way that wouldn’t work “YOU’RE DOOMED!” It was hilarious. Very memorable.

Genuinely, if you think so low opinion of a generation, I hope you don’t have access to nukes.

Space Station 14 is a blast. If you’re really interested in hosting it though you might need a larger friend group. I think you’d need maybe 10 or so people before it actually feels interesting.

Edit: There are plenty of public servers to play on too.

“never said it did” was a response to where Forgejo supports federation for issues and PRs.

Never said it did, and the comment replying to didn’t say it did either.

concept of users, write permissions, or authentication

collaborative things like issue tracking, PRs, forums, etc

Forgejo has those, yes.

Forgejo has all that, and then you can achieve “federation” by virtue of pushing to whatever remote. I wasn’t suggesting people use git itself (which is possible). I just meant that it’s distributed as opposed to centralized like Subverison is.

Depends how they define robust. MySQL has a myriad of features SLQite doesn’t have and won’t ever have. If they mean something like user configuration then SQLite is just out by default.

(Coming from a SQLite fan.)

Honestly, this is always more effective than a comment in the config because it can get removed. All it would take is a popular guide having the config with that option on and the comment gone.

I think the ZIP standard has something similar and it causes similar problems.

Git is already a distributed version control system.

Omniscient perspective is easy if you’re making a 2d game.

Define clean? If there are dishes, you do them yourself. If you make a massive mess you clean it yourself to avoid fees. At the end of the stay you generally do something simple like toss all used bedding into one spot. Sometimes they expect you to start laundry by putting all towels in the washer. So, yeah, sort of, but there’s a massive difference between cleaning up after yourself and starting the laundry compared to sanitizing everything, vacuuming everything, etc.

Let me put it like this. I hate house keeping. It’s the worst. I’ve never viewed the check out requirements at any of the places I stayed as too much. Sure, there’s the occasional nightmare scenario, but hotels have nightmares too.

Yeah I am very annoyed there aren’t many (or any?) very compact adapters.

The problem is that getting a new standard is gonna just mean more of the same shit with like a good ten years of swapping because USB is so widely used. USB ain’t perfect, I dislike a lot of things about it, but starting from scratch isn’t gonna improve things.

If it was the sort of magical scenario where everyone swapped overnight, hell yeah.

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking of.
