Is it just another kind of tree?

N-Villany!

But now, he nerd-snipped Spider-Man, he changed the outcome of the experiment by explaining it. Green Goblin didn't even see any need to intervene, he's only trolling.

But doesn’t E=mc² teach us that mass and energy are somewhat interchangeable?

There are two ways to read that equation. Either you use the instant mass, that changes with the object's speed and has an undefined result for anything moving at the speed of light (this is the one Einstein wrote in awe about), or you use the rest mass and that's the half of the equation that doesn't consider the object's speed (this is the one everybody actually uses).

On the second case, the complete equation is E² = (mc²)² + (pc)² where p is the momentum.

Videogame cities are all dead and creepy... I can't imagine what anybody finds beautiful about them.

Of course, they are this way because they are literally designed, by a tiny number of people, and with sole focus on the player. But still, no idea why anybody can think they are beautiful.

The sequels aren't.

The 90s were a great time to talk about terrorism. It was enough "under control" for people not to be censored, and real enough for people to pay attention.

And tomorrow is Corpus Christi, I hope most of you here have it as a day off.

But another one was made, and given to a research lab as a secret...

What are you talking about?

It looks like a bright dot. Or a dark one if you are photographing it.

Non-coding architects has been a well known organizational red-flag for decades.

Non-coding people always lose track of reality, and it's a disaster to give them decision power over fine-grained technical choices.

Now, I don't really know how that maps into non-coding software developers, but I'm not optimist.

So... Aggressivity always escalates if people interact at random without a cooling period?

That's quite a hypothesis. Seems realistic. I wonder if anybody tested it.

It's deeper than that.

People have been doing this since cars became fast. There's something in our brains that automatically turns driving into a battle.

 

As a developer that learned it once, a long time ago, naturally I sign to the pledge...

I have some doubts if I should mark it NSFW.

 

All those student protests on the US seem to be about stopping their universities from supporting the Israel government. But supporting a foreign government is not a normal thing for a university to do, why do they do it?

Is there some educational or research resource they get?

 

The links like !NoStupidQuestions@lemmy.world.

I have had a pretty bad time making those work. I have tried searching for them at the communities page, and removing the exclamation mark and pasting them on my instance (lemmy.world/c/NoStupidQuestions@lemmy.world).

Some times one of those works, other times my instance finds nothing. And if I go directly to the home instance of the community, it doesn't bring my login.

What is the recommended way to use those?
