Because Joule is the SI unit of energy, meanwhile the Watt is the SI unit of power, equivalent to one Joule per second.

“Converting” joules to watts would be like converting m/s to US dollars.

I don’t see how your example is ‘funny’. That’s what you expect to get. -52 is -25. (-5)2 = 25.

(This doesn’t consider the separator) Cyan - DD/MM/YY Magenta - MM/DD/YY Yellow - YY/MM/DD The other ones are mixes of those two colors, so e.g. the US is MM/DD/YY and YY/MM/DD (apparently).

Also just noticed I didn’t attribute this picture, I’ll edit my comment.

Glad I can count my own country, Lithuania, among the enlightened.

Maybe if they actually made them better compared to the then competition, this could’ve turned out differently; mind you, it would still be as bad, because Microsoft, but hey, different nonetheless.

And definitely avoid libgen and scihub, lest you accidentally learn something new without paying the exorbitant fees.

I’ve never thought about it this way before. This must be why some places refuse to invest in public transport. Just imagine the consequences if they didn’t even need to fix their cars at all

Exactly why I hope it will flop and they decide it’s not worth the money. It’s disgusting how tech companies take something free and try to monetize it by hiding it under a veneer of “accessibility” and “integration”. One can only hope that information regarding FOSS will remain easily accessible and that the group this update is targeting is insignificant enough. I doubt any serious data scientist would opt to Excel + Python over just Python for big enough data sets, and the average Excel user, let’s face it, is unlikely to learn Python.
