4 days agoWhy stop at hex? You could use the entire alphabet. Even if you take only uppercase letters and numbers, we are at 36^9 possible numbers. If we include lowercase and special characters from ASCII, we can go much further.

12·6 days agoI tend to enjoy such math issues but I guess I have to wait for ELI5 YouTube video to explain me the issue and potential impact of the solution.
Deal, maybe if we show 'em the meme, we can go on a double date.
Just learned that I’m gay. Any fellow dudes who want to hook up? Any tips on how to tell my GF?
1·11 days agoThat sounds pretty good indeed! ;)
Do you have a source for that?
Peel contains about 40-50% dietary fiber and has been considered as a new source of dietary fiber in bread making. In addition to these, peels are rich source of phenolics and fair source of vitamins like riboflavin, ascorbic acid, folic acid and vitamins B6.
While the potato skins offer about half the nutrition of the potato meat – they still have plenty to offer including fiber, iron, and vitamins C and B-6. The skin does outrank the potato meat in some important categories. For example, for a whole baked potato, the skin has 115 calories, 27 grams of total carbohydrates, three grams of protein, which is equal for both meat and skin, and five grams of fiber. Meat only has two grams. The skin of a whole baked potato provides 88-percent of the total amount of iron. Along with iron, the meat and skin of a potato provide an abundance of key minerals that lend to the overall health of muscle contraction and nerve transmission.
I’ll never get why so many people see a need to peel potatoes, carrots, cucumbers etc. You’re cutting away the healthiest and most delicious part!

Looks like the close-up of an elbow. They can also make up for an ass crack or a fake vagina. What a versatile part of our body!
70·24 days agoHow the hell can one have patent of ‘catching a creature through aiming’ or even more crazy to me ‘riding a creature’ in games? Both concepts exist in so many games and even in real life. I mean did Nintendo never hear of horses?

Personally, I don’t like noticeable make-up. If it’s barely visible, it’s fine as well but in general I like ‘no make up’ the best.
It’s also not only about looks:
- If you wear make-up, you have to be careful with rain, touching the face, kissing etc.
- It may take a lot of time to apply.
- It’s expensive.
- It’s rather bad than good for your skin.
- It’s bad for the environment (more trash, animal testing, contimination of water etc.).
No make-up = Win-Win-Win-[…]
As she apparantly liked roses before and now does no longer, I read it as ‘she was born without the ability to smell’.
How do you suddenly gain that ability? Are there implants for smell as well? Or did they extract some lego bricks that she stuffed up her nose as a kid?
What is CSAM? It is an abbreviation for many things apparantly. Are you referring to ‘Child sexual abuse material’? Did you encounter such things on Lemmy?
So far I luckily didn’t come across anything like that but I also blocked all porn-related instances that I saw so far.
Who else was waiting for the plot twist? I thought she dumps him because his voice sounds like a drowning pig in panic or so… :'D
As sudo applies only for a single command, removing the cover is more like su, no?
sudo would be more if above every covered button there was a tiny hole through which you could push it with a needle or so.
Is Johnny the brother of little Bobby Tables?
If we say that the SSN database internally only stores numbers today, but could also store hexadecimal values without significant redesigns, I would assume that SSNs are stored as text already. So no matter if you put numbers, hex or text, 9 places will always use 9 bytes (assuming it’s ASCII only and doesn’t support UTF-8 etc.).
Furthermore, the post implied that the current technical limit is 999,999,999. That very much sounds like a character data type to me. Otherwise, the limit is usually something like 2^x.
If SSNs are stored as numbers today, then hex and text would lead to quite some change. If you go for a re-design, you can as well just increase the length of the field.
