  • Whatever, I'm not convincing anyone with my use of metric and username. I'm avoiding some other weird phrases though, for example you won't usually see me type "14 days" in English although Czech speakers prefer it to "2 weeks" (idk why, it's the same number of syllables).

  • "Cheaper" means "less expensive". 2x cheaper means 2x less expensive, or less expensive by a factor of 2, or 0.5x as expensive. I can say 2x shorter, 2x slower etc. and I don't see a problem. The adjectives "cheap" and "expensive" don't relate to a number quantity called "expensiveness" or "cheapness" but "price" or "cost", which is what the factor applies to, and the word specifies if it's an increase or decrease. Everyone I know would understand that it's the reciprocal of the original price, although I get that in a country whose president can say he slashed proces by 500 % without instantly having to resign, fractions and percentages might have to be specified but that's longer to say for the same number of significant figures.

    Yes, I can find people debating "two times cheaper" (English) but not "zweimal billiger" (German) or "dvakrát levnější" (Czech), in fact the phrase is often used in promotional material. The only results suggesting it's wrong are English Reddit discussions' automatic translations to German or Czech, and Google's AI summary that cotes them.

    I won't stop using it just because people with inferior education sometimes don't get it. Similarly, I provided the metric value and conversion rate, it's Americans who need to practice mental math.

  • Here's some KDE lore.

    https://community.kde.org/Konqi

    Canonically, they hatch from eggs, but as usual for child-friendly characters, the genitalia question is not explored in the lore. Kiki is a robot representing an antropomorphic squirrel. In general, animal and robotic characters don't need to wear clothes to be considered "appropriate for all ages" as long as they don't have genitalia or sexualized antropomorphic features like boobs. However, the fact that Kiki, Konqi and Katie are canonically a boy and girls means they should not be sexualized, ever.

  • It's fewer syllables, what's the problem? And yes, milk is cheaper here than the same quality in the US (despite our 12% VAT) so I don't see why "cheaper" next to it would feel wrong... And don't forget that we don't get the crap "regular" gasoline with as low as 87 octane rating, the lowest widely available one is 95. Similarly, 75 % of milk drunk here is UHT-treated, as opposed to 10 % in the US.

  • That's the mascot ambassador, a boy dragon with a headscarf and "K" horns antlers, but there's canonically an entire village valley of them, and they created Kiki.

  • The build quality is not great, they saved on backlight heatsinking so the LEDs will bake and delaminate, causing dark spots, discoloration etc.

  • The fuck? Milk is 2x to 4x cheaper ($0.50-$1.00) than the most common gasoline, Natural 95 ($2.10) here. I thought you'd get something from those crazy "Got milk?" dairy subsidies...

    (Multiply by 4.5 to get US units rather than liters)

  • Before someone asks why so much current to earth: blue N wires are connected to it too, so it's the PEN pole of the mostly obsolete but still very common TN-C system. Such current to PE would instantly trip GFCI/RCD in a modern TN-C-S system, now it's just overcurrent through some appliance or wiring gone short circuit and non-compliant breaker/fuse that failed to trip.

  • What are the memory usage of various types of processes?

    Jump

  • Memory usage vastly depends on what the GUI framework is, if any files are open, what processing is being done... There can be a terminal emulator that needs 300 MB, and a hex editor can use any amount of RAM depending on what file is loaded (although better ones load file chunks on demand).

  • Woah, it's a real tag? I thought that's the result of the search (not helped by the fact that "gay" also has the narrower male meaning), I had to re-read to check it didn't say "yaoi"

  • If you have a meter on the wall that says "height", height exists outside the meter too. Height is a property of every point in the room. For any point, you can follow a horizontal line to the corresponding point on the meter, read the number, and that's the height at that spot. Also, every point on a horizontal plane will have the same height: all points on the kitchen counter will have a height of about 83 cm, every point on the ceiling a height of about 230 cm. The meter is basically an axis and you're using it to measure how high various points throughout the room are.

    Then people realized you can do it in 2 or 3 dimensions and represent data.

  • This diagram does not physically exist, it would be impossible to maintain such temperature and pressure gradient. What it helps with is identifying which state water is in under given conditions. Find the temperature you're interested in on the x-axis and the pressure you're interested in on the y-axis, project these values at right angles to find a point in the chart and the color at that point is the state water is in for the specific conditions.

  • I was just using a basic example where a value (latitude) increases as you go in one direction and another (longitude) as you go in another. Coordinates (0°, 0°), or zero point, of maps is indeed the intersect between the equator and Prime Meridian, known as Null Island (which is actually just a buoy). They use Longitude-latitude(-elevation), which are polar coordinates and useful for navigation on and near the surface. There's the ECEF (Cartesian) system too, centered on Earth's center of mass, but much less intuitive.
