I'm sorry to hear that. I think at one point in my past, about half my job was tracking down nil dereference errors in Ruby. And probably a quarter was writing tests for things a good type system would catch at compile time.

But you can delete your copy, ask others nicely to delete theirs, and refuse to accept more copies of the same thing.

I'm not sure if Lemmy supports any of this, but it seems pretty important for e.g. child porn.

If the earth is fixed (not just in position, but in rotation), you're using a non-inertial reference frame, and things get wonky. But you can make the math work.

It's still wild to me that I visited Hawaii as a kid, and then several years later. When I went back, a road I had driven on as kid was covered in lava.

What? The people who made him buy it got paid already. I'm sure they're laughing every time they see it drop in value.

Yeah, the few at the top bring in revenue, but most don't. Speculating on future revenue is not helpful.

If you'd read the links I shared, you'd see the revenue figures include alumni donations, and they're still a net negative for the majority of schools.

It's really not at these scales. Earth and Mars go from roughly 4 light minutes apart to over 20.

At the best case, saying something and then waiting 8 minutes for a response is hardly what I'd call "real time".
