I wouldn’t recommend. Due to the softness of human bodies, you won’t get the leverage you’d expect. I mean it might work on very thin people where the bones intersect, but for your average use case I’d recommend a simple pulley system.

Doesn’t observing at the quantum level require measurments? As in you can’t see without interacting with it, thus changing its behavior?

From what I can see, it effectively simulates the same thing that happens as a child, aka you lose you existing teeth for the new set, which means there’s always the risk they won’t come in properly, in the right angle… Sounds like a massive headache to replace a tooth of two.

Well you have to admit, Project X sounds a lot cooler than Project C.

I can’t imagine this being possible (the full sized part anyway). The less customers you have, the less options you can offer, it’s simple economics.

Perhaps what doesn’t help my case is that most of the town works for that one company where everyone has one or two of their meals at their cafeteria. Still, of the neighboring towns, none has a grocery store bigger than a corner store. The only town that does have one has almost 5000 people….

The truth is, when we did have a grocery store, everyone went to the city once a week anyway because everything is there (or they work there). So while they’re at it, they also shopped at the bigger grocery stores, leading to a decline in customers at the local one.

Right but whether they’re correct or not doesn’t depend on the name you use. Every programmer worth his name knows arrays start at offset zero even if you don’t call it that.

Depends how you see it. I live in the countryside and would hate living in the city. Yet one does not both live in the countryside AND eat without a car when the closest grocery store is 30km away. We used to have a local grocery store that hardly had anything and which unsurprisingly went out if business.

In my case, driving IS freedom. It’s the freedom to go where I want when I want without having to rely on anyone else.

Do I miss having the grocery store across the street when I lived in the city? For sure, but I sure am glad I’m back in the countryside now.

Why? I’ve worked as an embedded dev for a few years and nobody in my team cared what it was called.

That doesn’t really address what you call it. Names only really just exist to get your point across. Inexperienced devs may not know what an offset means (or why we use that), so index does the job. An experience dev knows how it works anyway, so whether you say index or offset won’t matter. By virtue of the common denominator, I simply use index everywhere.

Says who?

By definition, an index is

a number or symbol or expression (such as an exponent) associated with another to indicate a mathematical operation to be performed or to indicate use or position in an arrangement

Since the arrays offsets alao tell us about the items’s position in the array, is it not then an index?

People take these terms way too seriously. Hell, many languages have their “list” implemented as an array. What then do you call the index/offset?

Honestly in canada I’ve never heard of them either lol. Typically my familly have always used 1-2 thin bedsheets, then what we call a “catalogne”, which I can’t seem to be able to translate. It’s basically a hand tressed bedsheet that’s impossible to wash without it breaking apart. Then some cover that’s usually pretty thin, just for the looks I suppose. If you’re cold, you just add layers. Once a season, you take that catalogne and the top sheet and soak them in water, then let them dry outside.

Or you can do like my sister and not give a fuck about that. She just sleeps under 10+ loose blankets and a furnace of a dog.

But also money tends to make one more conservative, and age usually comes with more money.
