I’d say the index is actually an offset is a reasoning for explaining why it should start at 1. If index was an index, I’d just start at 1.
I don’t think any one is better than the other, but history chose 0.
That you can choose it in VB is probably the worst option :D

Anything But Metric@discuss.tchncs.de•A combination of standard unitsEnglish
0·1 year agoA kilogram or a pound have no real tangible comparison to real world things unless you yourself make the comparison
A kilogram is a 1l bottle of water. A ton a 1m3 cube of water or a car. 10 ton a truck.
Anything bigger is just unimaginable ^^

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL Cigarette butts are the most common form of plastic pollutionEnglish
1·1 year agoI highly doubt it, but go ahead and prove your claim.
I would turn that around cause you are claiming filters help prevent cancer. Producers should prove that, but they don’t. Filters don’t help.
Speaking as an ex-smoker who didn’t match the caricature
Good for you, but you are in the minority. I know no one that smokes that carry around a portable ashtray. If there is none in a couple of meters, they get thrown on the ground.

101·1 year agoSmoking with a filter has no health benefits. Statistically, there are even more illnesses with people that smoke with filter cause they on average smoke more cause it irritates the throat less.
Our local cancer NGO even lobbied to ban filtered sigarettes as they cause more smoking and are plastic litter.

2·1 year agoIn Europe it’s not. If an article is sold by a private person to a company, no vat is added and if the company resells it, vat has to be calculated on the profits only and not the full sum.
This is especially true for second hand cars.
Pure aluminium is only used when you need to have very little reactivity.
General construction steel has >98% weight iron. Around the same as most aluminium alloys.
I think there was a Renault that worked like this. I think the main issue is that you need a decently sized battery that can supply enough power or else the ICE needs to start every time you hit the gas pedal like was the case with the older Prius models and then you might as well connect it to the wheels and you can have a smaller electric motor.
But batteries keep improving and you can pull more power per kWh now. Maybe with solid state batteries this power train could become the more affordable option.

Technology@lemmy.world•How One Chinese EV Company Made Battery Swapping WorkEnglish
2·2 years agoThere was a scooter sharing company that drove around, swapping the batteries. It went out of business and now there are only the Bird style scooters.
If there were battery swapping stations, I’d definitely by me a bike.

1·2 years agoThat is the case in Belgium.
It is not enforced tho. If you didn’t register as a donor, they will still ask the relatives, especially of they need to keep the body on life support after the person is declared dead.

Technology@lemmy.world•Can an online library of classic video games ever be legal?English
33·2 years agoCause selling new games is more profitable.
If a new games costs €60 and older games €5 or less (which would be a lot less on streaming services), they’d have to sell at least 12 old games for every new game they sell less cause of this change. And if gamers spend more time on older games, it’s highly possible that they’d buy, even just a single game, less.
It’s the same with movies or TV. They would only loose money if they make the whole archive available as there is just so much of it that some of the new things could become irrelevant.
Not that I’m against archiving, but it is caused by the creative sector having to have to make money, which isn’t easy for smaller players, and greed.

11·2 years agoMost isn’t the right word. In countries where the government doesn’t or can’t keep the cost is meat down, a lot of people don’t east meet daily as it’s more expensive than other food sources. Gigantic subsidies for meat and diary exist in the US, EU, China, Brasil,…

212·2 years agoMost of the world does indeed eats little to no meat, especially red meat. In the EU, these kind of subsidies also exist.
I start writing the implementation and get the “variable not defined” error and then let the ide add the declaration. It’s less keys to press and misspell.
I do like subtites almost everywhere, but hate these slides.
Maybe I also want adjustable playback speed, fast forward and readable high contrast subtites in my real live playback.






I bought a TV running VIDAA. You can use it without wifi and disable everything and let it just start on an input.
I don’t know of it’s EU only.
