@marioostolaza @EUCommission 😳😬😱
@seabass @bkuhn For what it’s worth, in France we call it "guerre de sécession", which seems closest to "war between the states".
By the way: I followed your instruction and didn’t vote, but a "I didn’t grow up in the USA" choice would have been nice to let people like me see the poll’s result and be notified when it has ended.
@lowqualityfacts That’s a high-quality comic! Unacceptable! I want my money back! 😤
@evan No. I do have a thought for Newtonmas, though.
Tom ForsythFrom @mmalex :
"
i cant believe i never realised before that to make a bitmask with set bits in [x0, x1), you can just do `mask = (1u<<x1)-(1u<<x0);` (obviously be sure that 0<=x0<=x1<32). ive used the degenerate case with x0==0 a billion times, but never thought to extend it. doh.

@lowqualityfacts 😮Whoaaa! I would never have guessed !
John Carlos BaezHere's a chart of how close we can get to a frequency ratio of 3/2 using N-tone equal temperament.
See how great 12-tone equal temperament is?
There are also some neat patterns. See the stripes of even numbers and stripes of odd numbers? That's not a coincidence. For more charts like this, and much more cool stuff along these lines, go here:
