@sol_hsa I suspect the main reason for this is technical - generally, electric stoves have them in the back panel which would make wiring easier, and gas stoves have them at the front which makes piping easier.
Personally, I don't find them at the back to be dangerous at all. First, as others have identified, they are harder to accidentally bump. And much harder for small children to get to. Second, the outer knobs almost always control the front burners. You reach around for them, not over.
@sol_hsa but most importantly, with an electric stove, if you've found yourself with an emergency like a grease fire, shutting off the burner isn't going to help you. You have more pressing needs, and the dangers of not shutting the gas valve off immediately (i.e. open flames below or gas leaks if they go out) just aren't there.
I wonder if the target demographic for the rentable electric scooters is assholes. At least if I consider where people leave the things. Such as sideways parked in the middle of a bicycle lane on a steep hill. Right after a curve.
Stumbled upon an "experienced game programmer's" resume. Three pages of super detailed listings of work tasks, 9 years of experience. Zero mention of any released games.
@sol_hsa@msinilo@Doomed_Daniel No, that isn't really the issue. I just mean that working on a game that doesn't ship doesn't really mean anything to a prospective employer in most cases.
@slembcke@sol_hsa
digital in the late 70s or even in the 80s?
wouldn't that have been a lot of data for the those days standards, if you have (at least) one track per instrument etc?
@Doomed_Daniel@sol_hsa Sure, but it wasn't done on computers with floppy disks. It was all tapes. Even with 70s tech you could put a song's worth of data onto a reel of digital tape, while processing it over and over without losing quality. You couldn't do that with analog, so it made mastering much more expensive.
@sol_hsa getting strong 80's East Germany flashbacks where a C64 on the grey market would fetch the price of a "low-end" car (Trabant) and an Amiga 500 the price of a "high end" car (Lada 1600) :D
@oblomov@sol_hsa oh no worries. If your reply was "yeah, there's a whole new GL spec in the works right now that adds all the new stuff finally" I'd have had to check and see if I had somehow fast traveled to the first day of the month of April.
@sol_hsa doesn't English have the same problem (of V and W being identical)? In German there's the same problem with V being redundant with F. We could fix all those problems by dropping U and use V instead like in the olden days ;)
@demofox@BartWronski@slembcke@sol_hsa Actually, if you know the distribution is nlogn you could sample at the nlogn location and search linearly above or below. You should find the nearest prime very quickly.
