Just because he’s not a Doctor of Medicine doesn’t mean he’s not a doctor. A Doctor of Chiropractic is exactly that, regardless of its questionable merits.

A medical doctorate would be more relevant to a neurologist.

I was under the impression that the assertion that chiropractic neck manipulation causes vertebral artery dissection is often suggested, but that evidence of such a causation is inconclusive. I certainly believe it, but I can’t assume. Chiropractors may twist the inconclusiveness into suggesting that such neck manipulation is safe, but that’s a fallacy.

But dc is a reverse polish calculator Unix program. It’s even in the Bell Labs’ Unix 1^st edition manual.

C was built mostly to abstract from assembly

That’s actually not true; rather, many modern architectures are designed to allow languages like C to be compiled more easily. Old architectures don’t even have a built-in stack.

Ed Is The Standard Text Editor

ed, ex, and vi are all standard, required text editors in the Single Unix Specification.

Examples would be Helium-4

The standard model predicts that hydrogen-1 is the only stable nuclide because electroweak instantons allow three baryons (such as nucleons: protons and neutrons) to decay into three antileptons (antineutrinos, positrons, antimuons, and antitauons), which imply the instability of any nuclide with a mass number of at least three; or for two baryons to decay into an antibaryon and three antileptons, which would imply that deuterium could decay into an antiproton and 3 antileptons.

This is very rarely discussed because the nuclides that can only decay through baryon anomalies would be predicted by the standard model to have ludicrously long half lives (to my memory, something roughly around 10^150 years, but I might be wrong).

Hydrogen-1 is stable in the standard model, as it lacks a mechanism for (single) proton decay.

Crucially, we are able to determine the distance by redshift via the observations of objects with known distance (like standard candles) and their redshifts. The ΛCDM model only becomes necessary for extrapolating to redshifts for which we otherwise don’t know the distance, but this extrapolation cannot be made without the data of redshifts of known distances.

I got all the landscape ones correct—except for one—by applying my limited knowledge of art technique.

I look forward to finding out how it’s actually much worse than meets the eye. [emphasis added]

It this schadenfreude because you hate Canonical and their Snap system?

I meant that electromagnetism is ubiquitous in its role in the nature of ordinary matter itself.

Are magnet’s the most dangerous thing in the universe?

No, not even remotely. That’s not to say that the extreme magnetic fields of magnetars wouldn’t be awesomely dangerous, but “most dangerous thing in the universe” is an absurdly high bar to meet.

After all Blackholes are powerful magnets

The accretion disk consisting of material surrounding a black hole is capable of generating strong magnetic fields, rather than the black hole itself.

Technically, electromagnetism is directly implicated in every death that has ever happened.

DRM certainly can’t be fair as long as it’s illegal to circumvent.

And in the beginning he was, and it was working

I might be wrong, but to my recollection, he never got it to work; in the beginning, he merely believed that he could eventually get it to work, and that the first fraudulent payouts to early investors were originally intended as a temporary way of buying time without losing investors.

use the app center

That’s a weird thing to call a package manager.

When was this?

Are there any advantages over Debian stable?

Because Hurd was disastrously conceived from the very beginning, it can never be more than an unnecessarily inefficient curiosity.
