Agree, but kinetic energy being mv^2/2 rather than mv can be pretty intuitive in the right context:

I predict a shift towards antialiasing being less desirable as DPI->inf. In my experience, disabling antialiasing dramatically improves sharpness and readability of small font sizes on modern 4K+ monitors, along with reducing eye strain and surprising bystanders.

A triangular/hexagonal grid is the densest possible packing when there's a min-distance constraint.

The Great Firewall doesn't restrict SSH, so you can functionally ignore it (assuming using e.g. `ssh -D` is second-nature to you).

Well duh, which is why nobody would ever say that out loud. Doesn't stop anyone from thinking it, though.

I assume you're running that test suite using a 3rd party 8051 emulator to avoid the potential for common-mode errors in both your compiler and emulator resulting in false confidence the compiler's correctness?

Narrator: No, he was not.

It is still an unknown whether an unqualified increase in productivity in the long-term for software engineering is a given.

Strong disagree. Leaded solder is still a ton easier to rework thanks to its lower eutectic melting point.

Most equipment connects the shield of all ethernet ports to chassis ground, so you're back to zero isolation if you use shielded cables.

Because most people do not get to choose what software they use for working?

Different thing entirely from long-term effects.

This doesn't allow reusing initialization work via CoW mappings (like GP was asking about).
