Is the adoption of the stirrup just down to its benefits outweighing the safety risk, or were people good enough at not shooting themselves that it wasn’t a concern?
el_psd@sh.itjust.worksto Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Any recommendations from the Steam Spring Sale?3·6 个月前Rain World is very, very niche in its appeal, but it’s perhaps the best argument for games as art that I’ve ever come across. I’ve never had to rethink what a game even is in order to engage with something before.

I’d rather break things in favor of something better, and provide a way to make the old thing run, than be stuck with ancient baggage
Windows is office software first and foremost, designed to be used by people who neither know nor care what an “operating system” is. Every last one of these people is entirely incapacitated by even the most lovingly-crafted and descriptive error message. If Microsoft ever considered a policy like this, the city of Redmond would be razed to the ground inside twelve hours

el_psd@sh.itjust.worksto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•My grandpa's 68 and playing the field again11·7 个月前I find that I slip into the same habit sometimes – specifically, when I’m typing something where perfect grammar will come off as overly formal, but I’m stressing a bit over what level of informality is appropriate. It taxes the frontal lobes, which means that my thoughts are disjointed in a way that ellipses just make sense with. I think it’s so widespread among older people because when they were first introduced to instant messaging, they weren’t sure how they would come off, and then it became a habit. But that’s just me guessing.
el_psd@sh.itjust.workstoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•it's good to look in the mirror and understand the material outcomes of voter behavior7·7 个月前I agree, and I don’t care. It’s a distraction. These people didn’t move the needle an inch, and I think it’s ridiculous to worry about probably 0.5% of the electorate when there are tens of millions who actively support all this shit. Where is their accountability? Where is the accountability for the billionaires who have spent their fortunes attacking democracy? Those people are grinning ear-to-ear when they see their enemies trying to fight each other like this.

I cannot into computers, but draining the capacitors before rebooting has fixed this issue for me in the past. Not sure if this is even possible on your device given you’re running Plasma Mobile

Thanks for the catch! Once I noticed that the probability of winning on the initial flip was the difference between the two, I stopped thinking about the other terms…
I read the other answers in the thread, and I definitely would have gotten this wrong without that. This answer stands a chance at least
Independence
A and C are independent, A and B are not. Since you have a chance to win on turn 4 that you do not have on turn 1, P(A|B) = 1/2 + 1/16 + 1/64… = 7/12 != P(A). Conversely, P(A|C) = 1/4 + 1/16 + 1/64… = 1/3 = P(A)
