Reply guy is an internet slang term for someone who excessively responds to social media posts, often in an annoying, condescending, or overly familiar or flirtatious manner.

Says Wikipedia.

isthereanydeal isn't grey market and only shows prices from resellers that operate "above board".

You can find way cheaper than the prices listed there if you're willing to go grey market.

Lemmy has a real problem with people just not caring about what the community is before they come in to drop their hot their hot takes.

I believe that this is a symptom of lemmy's relatively small size. Individual communities aren't as active, so you have to cast a wider net if you want to see fresh content.

I know that I browse "all" here far more than I ever did on Reddit.

You can though? mySet.values().map(mappingFunc) will create a new iterator transformed by the mapping function.

I'm currently on a crusade against lodash where I work.

Associative thinking is very normal. This is just another post in the ongoing trend of common things being called out as divergent.

So what is the mass of a byte of ‘pure’ information? And how do you derive it?

That's all in the linked wikipedia article, but since you asked:

At room temperature, the Landauer limit represents an energy of approximately 0.018 eV (2.9×10^−21^ J).

That's 1 bit, so 1 byte is eight times that, which you can plug into E=mc^2^ to get its absurdly small equivalent mass.

It's important(?) to note that Landauer's Principle is not settled science and has yet to be rigorously proven, unless there's some recent development which the comic is referencing. I haven't checked.

No, you missed the point. See @milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee's comment and link to Landauer's Principle, the namesake of which is literally named in the title of the post.

TL;DR: Storing information requires a change in entropy. A change in entropy requires a change in energy. There must be a minimum non-zero amount of energy required for a given quantity of information. Energy is mass due to mass-energy equivalence. ∴ information has mass independent of its physical representation.

Everybody's saying that the Scatman stutters but doesn't ever stutter when he sings.

The most conservative person I know is a Bangladeshi immigrant.

 

I made a post here a few days ago complaining about content all being elsewhere, which was nice to vent, but doesn't really help the situation. Now I've decided to be the change.

Let's actually talk a little. What games do you all play? Tell me what you like about them!

Personally I've always been big into Street Fighter. I enjoy almost any fighting game, but the SF series is the one that I have by far put the most time into. I'm having a blast with SF6, even if I am just a diamond rated scrub. :D

 

Just venting, but if you want to avoid Twitter it means missing out on easily 90% of FGC activity, and the remaining 10% is almost all Discord and Reddit.

RIP SRK.

 

I can't wait.
