That’s just a link to the image hosted on xkcd.com, so if that is still pixelated, it’s probably a caching issue.

By “the post” what do you mean? The one in my comment is obviously the pixelated one, I am going to keep it that way for future documentation; the one on xkcd.com has however been fixed.

How can a function like this exist without parameters for N and T?

ok, I have to address the elephant in the room: is the bad image quality intentional (part of the joke) or not or what is going on here?

in case it gets fixed, here it is right now:

TIL that there is a 2x size version of many xkcd comics, which the explainxkcd bot seems to have downloaded and which looks a lot better: https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/File:superstition_2x.png / https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/superstition_2x.png

edit (c. 9 hours later, the morning after in my timezone): ok, it seems it has been fixed, so it was apparently not intentional

I wonder if that was intentional, to post this at a time when there are different years in different parts of the world. :D

“Steiner” is of course someone’s surname (a very common surname in German-speaking countries), not the German word for “stoner”, although they are certainly cognates

I’m still disappointed that 27 never managed to get on this list: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2-7CqYFi64

“Are you a pole vaulter?” “No, I am a German, but how did you know my name was Walter?”

not very accurate, you can still install Windows graphically, and you could install Linux either on a console or with a GUI both in 2005 and now

Compared to how Microsoft names things, FOSS naming is harmless on average.

Think of them naming the gaming app on Windows PCs “Xbox”, or the distinction between “VS Code” and “Visual Studio Code”, or “edit” (msedit), etc etc

Unironic answer, the “g” is pronounced, but obviously like the g in give or great, not like j.

with these things, I always wonder how different I would feel about them if my first language weren’t German and I didn’t understand what was actually being said; as it is, I need to concentrate very much on the subtitles
