But the floppy diskette and the “hard disks” did in fact have circular discs inside that spin around.
I suspect that the word diskette was created as an analog to tape “cassette”. With both diskette and cassette, the media is stored inside an enclosure, and you don’t have to take it out manually.
I sure hope you have some peer reviewed clinical studies to back up a controversial statement like that!
The Geneva conventions are not monolithic documents, and they are not completely uncontroversial. I believe the article 51 you refer to is in a 1978 addon protocol that Israel has not ratified. For reference, there is a different article 51 in the original 1949 conventions, that talks about when an occupying army may conscript civilian labor.
Like any other international treaties, the conventions only apply to countries that have signed on and ratified the treaties. The United States and Israel have not ratified the additional protocol, so from their perspective they are not bound by the text.
The original 1949 conventions do have protections for civilians, but they are weaker protections. Ratiometric evidence of civilian casualties is heartbreaking, but unfortunately simply not relevant to the 1949 conventions. Under those rules, if a facility is used by your enemy to harm you, you can attack that facility. Period.
IDF is always careful to portray how they scrupulously follow the 1949 conventions when they speak to the media. Clear violations that become public are referred to investigation.
As in any war, some elements of IDF are almost certainly violating the conventions. But as a USian I don’t think I’ll get close to understanding the truth any time soon. I basically don’t trust any news source coming out of that region any more.
“gradient descent” is a jargon word for one kind of training method.
Could be your freezer cycling up and down. Mine gets real warm right after I load in a week of groceries. I also should probably store more stuff in the freezer for thermal mass.
Free soda stands. Pay toilets. No exit.
Lands End clothing has gone way downhill in recent years, but it is still generally more durable than typical stuff you’d get at places like Target. I can typically wear their items for five years or more. My experience is with the men’s side.
This is a job for Bitt3rSteel. Make it a hoi4 disaster save episode.
This is actually pretty important to being able to solve engineering problems in the real world. Invariably, every little sub industry has its own cursed unit system. And dimensional analysis is great for solving real problems on its own.
And if you get to a high enough physics level, they start setting hbar = c = 1 or G = c = 1, and you never have to worry about it again.
I’m the mean time, it’s worthwhile to learn the trick to do this stuff fast-ish.
Skip aero. Let’s go back to compiz fusion and deskcubes.
The long jump sequence is crouch, then jump. Close enough together that it registers and turns into a single long jump move.
The crouch jump sequence is jump, then crouch. And it’s really just a regular crouch in mid air.
Now I want an fps game where you have to stop and load each round into magazines for a while.
And the Star Trek memes.
Specifically several sitting justices have previous white house administration experience where they had to worry about consulting their lawyers because of the illegal stuff they were doing (like Iran Contra).
It really is junk fake Latin.
150 pounds makes about 600 average burgers, you reckon?
I can’t imagine trying to put $12 in quarters into that machine.
These are also used by competitive weightlifters.
No. I would like to go back to beans, please.
