    I needed to update my parents old NUC from Win7, it was either new hardware to run Win10 or give Linux a try, I told them I had been running Linux since 09 full time and it isn’t any harder than running Windows.

    I said how about you give it a go for a month or so and see how you go.

    I installed Mint, it has been a few years now and no real issues beyond taking a while to get the printer working. I installed rust desk for remote assistance which I have only used 3 times since install.







  • When playing games with the kids, we start at 0 being the position you are currently in, then count from there.

    e.g. in snakes and ladders, if you are on spot 30 and roll a 5, tap spot 30 and say “zero”, then spot 31 is “one” etc… till you are at spot 35 saying “five”.

    Teaches the kids about zero and avoids miss counts from the younger ones counting their current position as “one”

    You are applying too much classical thinking.

    Something in superposition isn’t in some unknowable but definite position before measurement.

    It is all possible states, at the same time.

    Einstein famously did not like the implications of QM, saying “god does not play dice with the universe”, though his work on the photo electric effect helped pave the way for QM.

    This is just a misunderstanding of superposition.

    A superposition is being in all possible states before “collapsing” into a defined state, after interacting with something (a measuring device).

    So Schrodinger’s immigrant will be in all possible states; they are obviously lazy welfare bums; whilst simultaneously taking all the jobs; and being so poor that they eat your pets; and having the time to organize groups to go raping; whilst also being trustworthy enough to be a housekeeper or nanny
