All acids are weak bases and vice versa. Whether they act as an acid or base in the mixture depends on what they're being mixed with.

Virtually all acids are basic by comparison to fluoroantimonic acid…
-
-
The "canonical" composition of fluoroantimonic acid is prepared by treating hydrogen fluoride (HF) with antimony pentafluoride (SbF5) in a stoichiometric ratio of 2:1.
No thanks, that is entirely too much fluorine for me. I'll stay far away from that stuff.
-
@anotherusername What's your opinion of PTFE?
-
@kazitor Replace every other F with an NO3 and get back to me.
-
@kazitor That fluorine is pretty happy though... it already got a bunch of carbon to munch on (that didn't come from me).
Fluorine really likes carbon. I am made from carbon. I think you see where I'm going with this.

@Gribnit Perhaps you want polyvinyl nitrate?
Pentaerythritol tetranitrate looks rather excessive.

Yes… but it prefers calcium even more, to the point where (IIRC) the process that usually kills in HF poisoning is decalcification of the blood.

Ah, but Dr. Seuss's ABC's is a fun children's book with a bunch of examples and illustrations of words that start with each letter of the alphabet.

This also works for Amazing Grace and the Gilligan's Island theme. Since they have the same rhythm, so you can transpose the lyrics.

TIL C++20 will introduce a new character type specifically for storing UTF-8 text. About fucking time.
Also, TIL that if you use
uint8_t
type or its friends anywhere in your code, it technically becomes non-portable in the sense that a fully standard-compliant C++ implementation can refuse to compile it.

I fail to see the problem.

@PleegWat it's there on Linux, but it doesn't have to be there on every system. From C++17 (N4659):
21.4.1 Header <cstdint> synopsis [cstdint.syn]

-
@Gąska Ah. For some reason I thought they were all in the standard.
-
@PleegWat they are in the standard. They're just optional. Probably to accommodate platforms that don't support these exact sizes of integers.

TIL Microsoft workers have levels.
-
@Gąska Hmm. As a hardware engineer, pretty much every variable I touch (except strings for console messages) is explicitly sized — usually uint32_t, occasionally a uint8_t or uint64_t, the latter for holding and manipulating pointers. OTOH, I'm writing code for embedded processors, so portability isn't a big concern; as long as whatever version of gcc we're using (sometimes with custom patches) supports them, we're good.

TIL you can drop links into the Steam window and it will work perfectly fine.

I wonder what's so special with their syrups? We use just-about-expired normal syrups regularly and don't have many problems (except, you know, slightly-off taste)... Certainly not foaming.

No idea, but twice I've tried to do the thing with old syrup and both times it foamed over the entire bottle as soon as the syrup hit the water. The first time I thought maybe I did it wrong, but then I did it carefully last night and the same thing happened. At least I didn't smash a glass that was next to the sink this time.

@dkf When it started foaming I swung my arm to get it in the sink so it wouldn't make a mess, but there was a drinking glass in the way.

@remi said in TIL (about the Dark Arts of HTML):
To me continuity of purpose in a function is more important that length. I'm happy with a relatively long function that does one complex thing that all ties together, rather than splitting it into several smaller functions that are meaningless outside of the wider context. Although I accept that this may be a bias due to the type of code I'm writing (complex scientific code) where breaking out a single step of a long list of equations wouldn't mean much.
I think science is on your side, AFAIK
He then goes on to reference studies from the 1980s and 1990s which found that the sweet spot for functions is somewhere between 65 lines and 200 lines

@sockpuppet7 That was an interesting link, and about a not-even-that-old post to start with. Why did you delete it?
