The information you use is only related to the last object the light interacted with, not the light itself (with the small exception being the “brightness” - that has nothing to do with the object).

This is obviously false, otherwise all objects would look the same under any color of light - yet they don’t. This example actually shows that it is only the light itself that matters, because it has the information of the objects it interacted with during its lifetime!

No one claims to hear the air in their ears rather than the violin that is being played nearby. That’s just not what the word “hear” means.

But everyone would agree that we’re hearing the sound waves produced by the violin. Again, a great example counter to your point, as the equivalent to a sound wave is the photon.

Ah yes, that’s famously why screens literally build tiny versions of the world inside them. We don’t see the light, we see the objects!

Ah, that explains my work ethic - there is no spoon!

Oh, I’ve got ways to maintain the wetness, don’t you worry

Dry or wet weight?

Sure, he at least has the contact info of Green Lantern I think, maybe Wonder Woman

His ultimate weakness: bald robots

I think you mean “figuratively”

I’m only making assumptions, but I’d guess that 300nm is the range of frequencies it can amplify. AFAIK fibre cables are used with multiple “channels” by sending data with different frequencies at once. Say your signal range is centered around 850nm, this amplifier could amplify in the range of 700-1000nm.

But I might be totally off, just guessing.

Yes, the first example does the same thing, but there’s still less to mentally parse. Ideally you should just use if len(mylist) == 0:.

This is honestly the worst version regarding readability. Don’t rely on implicit coercion, people.

Well, for most

IMO the big difference is that tools for basic functionality (like trackpad/mouse scrolling, as you mentioned) usually cost something on Mac. I’m not against people earning money with their software, but there are so many small annoyances in MacOS that you need separate tools to fix, and you have to hope that the authors keep updating them.

I mean, it’s a Mac. Is there anything you don’t need dozens of extra tools for?

I’ve recently been going through Persona 4 Golden, and I love Kanji. He’s a rough guy who people assume is a bully (for example, he beat up a biker gang), but he has a heart of gold - for example he crochets dolls for a kid to play with. He’s very interested (and talented) in arts & crafts, but at the beginning he’s ashamed of others looking down on him for that.

One of my favorite tropes, and quickly one of my favorite characters.

Sure, I’m not against research! But I am against diverting investments from renewables to nuclear, because this unavoidably slows down fossil phaseout.

Or because it was cheaper. You don’t have to pay for disposal if you’re not the one disposing of your industrial waste!

I don’t think that’s it, since I also grew up with normal computer mice - my first phone-type touch screen device was probably around 12/13, at which point I already had lots of desktop usage.
