@stux I've also seen cats though that play with laser pointers nearly constantly and dont appear depressed. Its a hard thing to judge effectively by just looking at anecdotal evidence I fear.

@stux I can understand the reasoning, I'm just not sure its true. I think it might just be you projecting how you would react if you were a cat.

@stux Do they though? I mean they are playing and I dont think they have the same sense of failure humans do.

@mewmew With the condition that it must be restricted only to those programs garunteed to be installed on any linux box :) GNU userland only!

@Diptchip

Yea the point here isnt that gravity is as valid as a world turtle. The point in my eyes is more so that for all the absurdity the ideas of old may have, and summarily dismissed on their absurdity. The real world has notions that appear just as absurd (albeit with stronger evidence however).

Philosopher: "For all your science your beleifs are no better than a flat disc on the back of elephants resting on a turtle's back"

Astronomer: "Even without science that makes no sense, what is the turtle resting on top of!"

Philosopher: "Another turtle, its turtles all the way down!"

Astronomer: "See, that is just absurd, how could anyone believe that!"

Philosopher: "What does your science say keeps the earth and the moon fixed to each other?"

Astronomer: "Gravity, the moon orbits around the earth, or rather, the center of mass between the earth and the moon, its just an orbit"

Philosopher: "Then what does your earth orbit?"

Astronomer: "The center of the solar system."

Philosopher: "And the solar system?"

Astronomer: "The center of the galaxy!"

Philosopher: "And where does it end, what is at the end of this logic"

Astronomer with a defeated look on his face: "Its orbits, just orbits... It.. is... orbits, all the way down."

@khird It wasnt quite that trivial last I looked, but i will be sure to make a second attempt when i have some time.

Luckily since these are non-posting account they arent super critical to have the removed. It would be nice to clean them out though for sure.

@khird I wish. I tried to look into that but as far as I know there isnt a way short of direct DB access. It would have to be coded in.

@realcaseyrollins fair, and yea it is. Cool but just a bit to of an apple Ad for me.

@realcaseyrollins Its basically the silicon chips that go into M1 SoCs. My guess would be its the trash ones that need to get thrown away.

This is effectively the company equivalent of me giving out sweaters with a picture of my face on it to people for christmas

@khird Excellent job this week getting rid of spam accounts that had never posted. Lot of time you invested, very much appreciated.

The Relationship is roughly logarithmic to be specific. The rate at which primes are seen decreases at a rate of inverse of the natural logarithm, roughly speaking.

@metanumbers

@digital_carver

If that were true then particularly large prime numbers would be either non existant or rare enough we could just document them all. The distance between primes is larger for larger numbers but this distance grows at a slower rate than the size of the numbers
