    This sentence made no sense to me as it directly contradicted the previous one. But it’s just a confusion on my part between the function called square root, which confusingly outputs two different numbers called “square roots”, and “the” number called square root; I’ve edited my comment. Thanks for correcting me!

    No?

    In mathematics, a square root of a number x is a number y such that y² = x; in other words, a number y whose square (the result of multiplying the number by itself, or y ⋅ y) is x. For example, 4 and −4 are square roots of 16 because 4² = ( − 4 )² = 16.

    Wikipedia


    Edit: I’m wrong lol, there is a difference between the square root function, which accepts two results, and the square root, or principal square root, which is a unique positive number




  • HDR support is spotty but holy fuck was it bad when I was using windows

    Playing my HDR game? Add a few seconds of loading time while my screen turns off and then on. In game it’s fine, but alt-tab, or receive a notification while playing, and the screen has to turn off and on again to display the SDR content, which takes long enough for the notification to be gone anyway. I can’t even tell you how good or bad the HDR is on my screen lmao

    7800x3D / 7900XTX / Samsung Neo G9 OLED, so really it’s not an hardware issue

    It’s not more heretical to claim that jesus wasn’t entirely human, quite the opposite in fact. It’s a very old theological debate of homoousianism vs heteroousianism vs homoiousianism (same substance, different substance, similar substance). This debate was settled in the 4th century and Arianism (heteroousianism) was rejected

    Homoousianism - god the father is of the same substance as Christ, is the most prevalent vision nowadays, which means that christ is purely divine and not human
