Neutral activity itself definitely takes phase into account somehow, since you can hear the phase difference of two same-frequency tones being played independently into each ear, without any kind of sufficiently strong mechanical connection that would explain it.
The other comments are talking about just Prolog in general, but I have to say, The Power of Prolog is a rather excellent series of tutorials. The videos are worth watching too, Markus does a great job of capturing the viewer's/reader's interest.
About 6MB of it is the libqalculate.so.22.19.0 file, 1340KiB is .xml files that define all the units/functions/etc, and another 6MB is the documentation.
Looking at qalculate in Arch repos, libqalculate comes in at 14.94 MiB, and qalculate-qt at 3.37MiB, so 18.3 MiB total. If you're looking at the Appimage, the rest of the size would be from the libraries it depends on, like Qt/GTK+
On the other hand, how much of that is actually making it into the mainstream? Although, it's debatable how much of a "mainstream" there even is, any more.
Having 1000...0001 represent -1 would be sign-magnitude representation. Having 1111...1111 be -1 is two's complement. Computers usually use two's complement for integers, because it makes addition and multiplication really easy to implement. Floating point actually is closer to sign-magnitude, though.
Hall effect joysticks seem really promising. Fundamentally, due to the way they work, they should be much less likely to develop drift compared to potentiometer-based joysticks.
When you do `*(pointer + 1)`, it'll actually increment the address of the pointer by `sizeof(*pointer)`, so it indeed works the same as indexing `pointer[1]`
The most popular theory about the Moon's formation is that Earth collided with a Mars-sized planet, so if that's true there definitely used to be at least one more planet than what we have now.
The Sound Blaster 16 actually has the OPL3 chip, which is OPL2-compatible, but also has extra waveforms and allows combining 4 waveforms per instrument, rather than just two.
A huge SUV also has way worse visibility lines than a sedan. If there is a child standing in front of the SUV, you simply won't be able to see them from inside the vehicle.
There are observations that point towards dark matter which don't have anything to do with rotation curves. In particular, gravitational lensing, and the effects of mass on the cosmic microwave background. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullet_Cluster The Bullet Cluster is very hard to explain with any kind of MOND theory.
On the other hand, I wouldn't usually expect birds to gnaw on car cables, and all mammals do register capsaicin. Capsaicin is used semi-frequently to help against rodents gnawing on cables.
It unfortunately doesn't expose the serial ports externally, but it is possible to use an emulated serial mouse. It'd definitely be nice if someone would add in code to give access to the serial ports.
While I agree that hydrogen for electricity generation/storage doesn't really make sense, there are some industries that either can use or must use large amounts of hydrogen for chemical purposes. For example, the production of ammonia for fertiliser needs hydrogen, and refining metals from ore can use hydrogen.
