  2. No, you are the one imagining the silly invented convention of zero based arrays is somehow logical or useful just because that's what you learned first.

    There is no reason or benefit to it, and it does cause bugs. Any logical person without the baggage you hold between your ears would think an array containing 3 items should have indexes go from 1 to 3. It's just common sense, which many language inventors and you lack.

    what can you expect, languages are invented by austic pedantic fucks that otherwise would be living in their mother's basement since they'd be otherwise unemployable

  4. nah, an array 3 elements big has indexes go from 0 to 2. Really we need to smack the autists that invented C upside their heads

  5. that's actually an intelligent thing to do, autists made the 0 choice

    there is similar mindset in China with various ethnic groups and social castes. they even have a word that you could translate as "n*gger" meaning "garbage person" that in the USA is used for black people but over there is for certain other groups

    yes I know, in 2018 it's not nice to point a certain thing out, but there are a couple groups that don't do so well on those whitey boy IQ tests, cause, you know, they ain't white. And they mostly live in the city...

    er no, a normal reactor would just melt inside containment and not kill anyone. you have a greatly exaggerate idea of what a failing reactor could do.

    you seem to underestimate the stupidity of the design of Fukushima and Chernobyl reactors. It's not normal, most reactors *couldn't* do that.

    after somewhere around after season 2 and season 4, most geeks dropped it. The material got stale. After that it was just another sitcom. I know a LOT of geeks, work with a building full of them....

  16. you miss the point totally. bitcoin doesn't use 1% either, that's bullshit. Look at the IEEE spectrum article about estimated usage, they were whining it uses more power than a city and might someday (2024) use more power than Denmark.

    the guys in the caboose were around on every freight train until the 1980s, steam had nothing to do with the lessened use of them.

  19. exaggerated nonsense - not 1 percent on Bitcoin Mining Now Accounts For Almost One Percent of the World's Energy Consumption (theoutline.com) · · Score: 1

    the overhyped energy consumption claims against bitcoin have been debunked already.

    it's a fool's investment vehicle, and very il-liquid so not a "money", and I wouldn't waste the power mining since it could go to near zero in a heartbeat...

    but it doesn't take that much power, IEEE spectrum article decrying the waste says it might take as much as Denmark by 2020...

    tiny power consumption

  20. except you'll note that article states a much smaller amount of electricity used by Bitcoin than the sensational nonsense of this article.

    Claiming 1 percent of is bullshit, a lie

  21. Much more energy is used for porn distribution, storage and consumption. Plenty of other non-essential human things too.

    bitcoin doesn't matter; if the energy wasn't used for that it'd be used for something else

    popular with whom? not with actual geeks

  25. eh, well known nuclear is only useful for base load, when the peaks come power companies fire up the peak-shaving fossil plants. all nuke won't work.

    of course nuke isn't necessary now, solar is efficient enough and storage tech exists. just need far reaching UHVDC lines and problem is solved.
