whotookkarl@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's a piece of esoteric knowledge you have?17·1 day agoThe most efficient base for a number system is e.
We use base 10 with 0-9 digits and each position is a ten’s place, and the efficiency being measured is the product of the number of digits and the length of digits needed to represent a number in a given range of values. So if we used base 2 binary instead of base 10 decimal we only need to remember 2 digits 0-1, but to represent most numbers we’ll need more digits, 11 in base 10 is 1011 in base 2. On the other side we could use hexadecimal to write shorter numbers like 11 is B, but need to use more digits, 0-F digits where A-F are the 10-15 digits.
If you try to plot a function that minimizes the efficiency the minimum is at e. So you’d have digits 0-2 and e would be written as 10 since each position is an e’s place.

whotookkarl@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which country do you live in and how much paid time off work do you get?3·4 days ago1947 marked a major turning point for workers rights in the US when they outlawed solidarity between unions
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taft–Hartley_Act
The US and France currently both have around 10% union workforce, France is a million times more effective at striking because unions strike together & nonunion workers don’t cross strike lines, coordinated and targeted.
whotookkarl@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which country do you live in and how much paid time off work do you get?3·4 days agoMidwest US at a large nonprofit with ~10% union workers, ~7 hours PTO accrued per 2 week pay period adds up to just over 184 hours or 23 days, and another 14 holidays. PTO accrued was tiny until 5 years seniority, currently at 13 years and I think it caps at 8@20.
I usually take off as much as I can, about a month per year spread out by 1-2 week stretches for a vacation or just to take care of personal work or projects, moves, family stuff, etc.
whotookkarl@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•When you are walking outside, do you often look around to make sure no one is following you? Do people normally do this, or am I just paranoid?2·4 days agoDepends on the circumstances. If I’m walking on a street or neighborhood someone told me they got mugged on I’ll be way more aware and observant than otherwise. Same if I’m walking in nature it’s good to look behind regularly to be familiar with how the trail looks both ways so you don’t get turned around on the way back or if there are large predators in the area. If I’m walking around my neighborhood I’ll be much more selective about when I’m more observant because I know where the poorly lit areas and blind corners are, and more so at 2am than 2pm.
More than most would guess I bet. Most movies have very limited release if any in theaters, and may have been part of a film festival or just someone who wants to try their hand at directing and producing and was watched once in one screening then never seen again. There’s archives to try to preserve some of it but not everything gets submitted for archival or preserved.
You could become convinced your perception of it is an illusion and not reality as it actually is, then you would have no choice not to believe it.
