I am not going to even click that. "superposition of probabilities" is not a real thing, merely a mathematical tool. The definition of probability still involves something that is going to happen. Hey that's amazing, it'

I think drinking too much is why we are having this problem in the first place, so maybe people should just stop it. You'd end up with Maßßen and Maszen eventually. Ich geh dann mal zum Arz, mir jezt ein attezt holen. Da wird man d

I maintain that ss is a legitimate substitute in standard German orthography, just as ae for ä etc. not only because I can't be arsed to switch key layouts, but because ß is a useless character. If you compare Fuß, Ruß and Mus; Muss

That does very much sound like magic. The wave function is in principle just describing the probability of measuring a value, if I recall correctly. What you make of it is but an attractive theory to interpret that wavefunction after the fa

The linked page notes that the Alexa provided stats might be considered inaccurate. Either way, it has youtube.com on place 2. If that is counted as English, which I simply suppose were the case, "English is used by ..." is highly

While I completely agree with the sentiment, I still wonder what's the difference to graphics. Is drawing easier, for lack of a better word, than gfx-programming? I would argue this comparison is apt and yours falls flat. B flat. For s

By your own argument, this is obviously not primarily intended to teach coding.

> an eke-name I'm not buying this. "eke" as "also" may give the sense "by-name", alright. What irks me is the lack of explanation of the rebracketing, which would appear like a mistake. But "nick o

My pet peeve in English as well as German is conjunctive use of "that" or "dass" respectively. I'm glad that you got right at least :)

No, I don't believe this. Rather, as you note inhibition, you rationalize an excuse before hand, here that you have no control over your actions, and as that has so far always worked out, as far as immediate gratification is concerned

Cut it out. I think it could be better. A lot of oversees development has not been documented well and "studied" on an ad-hoc basis. The incorrect division of Italian "(n)arancia" is debatable, as the similarity to e.g

> ... the "status" of English by making it more latinized (things like, not ending sentences in prepositions). very interesting, that's something I'd really need to learn more about it. But how much of that is common

not only that but it comes with access to learning material built in. Still though, English is probably not the majority spoken language, much less absolute majority, even on the net, especially if proficiency is a factor.

0 is a symbol, but that symbol has quite literally no value. It is special that way.

That's not easy to prove, because nobody can look into the quasar. The question still stands. What are "those objects"?

Old shaky hands aiming a looking glass at one of two moving elephants standing close by each other would tell a different story, perhaps. I'm not sure how well established Virtual Quantum Noise is, but saying that an empty place contai

No, no, null is not meaningful. That's the whole point. It is meaningful as neutral element of a ring, as center of a coordinate system or as limit of some function, sure, but only in comparison to other values and the other values are
