Ive switched from coffee to green tea. It is a hell of a lot healthier. Just have a look at this study: for men, 12% lower risk of dying from any cause, 22% lower risk of dying from CVD, 42% lower risk of dying from stroke. Its even better for women.

The problem is that due to floating point inaccuracies, log10(1000) is actually 2.999999999 and not exactly 3. It is rounded and shown as 3, but when you truncate it, you get 2.

moral of the story: Don't use trunc.

Next to nothing times 10^42 can be pretty large. E.g. the plank length, smallest measurement of length with any meaning, times 10^42 is over 16000 km.

amazingly you find tourists everywhere. It would have been both realistic and fun to add fat people with hawaii shirt white socks and sandals.

kthxbye

I once stumbled upon a paper that analyzed rat eating behaviour. They basically change their food source only rarely, and tend to eat whatever they smell other rats are eating. This behavior has lots of advantages. Since they only switch food source when they have to, they seldom eat something poisonous. Since they switch to food they smell other rats have eaten, it is unlikely that the other food is poisonous because otherwise the other rat would have been dead.
This is an extremely robust behavior, and I am sure it can be used in some form as a swarming algorithm, much like ant colony or particle swarm.

I have no idea how this can happen.

raw numbers are irrelevant! Canonical is self sustaining! this is like a car that can produce enough fuel on its own to continue driving.

This is the same company that has stolen the 9rules logo. Compare it yourself here.

a little bash trick everybody should know: Almost every time I type a command I press Ctrl+R before I type it. This way you can use search on typing on the command history. For it to be really usable you can set the history file size HISTFILESIZE to a large number.

Here in austria we had live commentatory on TV and on online newspapers. Many people stayed up from until 5 o'clock in the morning (your election was in the middle of the night for us here) To watch this event happening. It was a huge thing, congratulations!
