What I find really sad is how fast people call others transphobic. Numerous times I've even seen trans people being called transphobic.

Sometimes it's also just people making honest mistakes and sometimes people double down on shitty positions if cornered by an insult like being called a transphob. Is that ok? No but it's also human nature unfortunately.

But I get it there is a lot of hate especially in recent times where it is a constant topic in the US culture war. And it must be exhausting to see hate in so many places. A lot of actual transphobic people are akso not acting in good faith of course. This just makes me more sad :(

Black electrical tape works really well to temporarily cover LEDs.

Edit: I feel unoriginal... The very next comment I read also suggested black electrical tape. That's why I should just lurk like always :/

Edit2: it feels like every other comment suggests electrical tape. At least I am not the only unoriginal lemming.

Depends on the author.

Yup it is contrary to normal economic principles, read up on luxury goods and in particular veblen goods and how price finding works there.

In the end humans are not at all times rational. There is no homo economicus. Economics is as much math as it is a social study.

I once moved ~5TB of research data over the internet. It took days and unfortunately it also turned out that the data was junk :/

Probably the ancient pong machine my grandfather had.

I can't resist. I've been indoctrinated by my math classes: "A vector is an element of a vector field."

A bunch of numbers is not immediately a vector. To be a vector you need the defining functions of a vector field also. Like addition and scalar multiplication.

Of topic: At least in Germany the work title "engineer" is protected. You need to have studied a technical degree in at least a 3 year program at a recognized university. Just a fun fact.

A few libraries come to mind immediately: fftw (I think the most widely used fft library) or GMP (I think the most used multi precision library).
