  I don’t recall it ever having been used to bring people back after they’ve been killed; usually it’s only relevant in weird circumstances like when Scotty showed up in TNG

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I? Who knows⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The fediverse is basically anything that uses some means of connecting to other sites. A lot of them now use ActivityPub, a standard for this kind of thing.

  Mastodon isn’t “on” Lemmy, but they can communicate with each other

  This happens all the time. I feel like a big reason people don’t like meetings is that they tend to involve a lot of bikeshedding.

  Computers are binary, yeah? So we have to represent fractional numbers with binary, too.

  In decimal, numbers past the decimal point are 10^-1, 10^-2, … etc. In binary, they’re 2^-1, 2^-2, …

  2^-1 is one half, so 0.1 in binary is 0.5 in decimal. 2^-2 is one quarter. 0.11 in binary is 0.75 in decimal. And of course you’ve got 0.01 = 0.25

  The problem comes when representing decimal numbers that don’t have neat binary representations. For instance, 0.1 in decimal is actually a repeating binary number: 0.0001100110011…

  Star Wars movies are actually from the far future, set in their past (but still our future). And they sent them back in time.
