Which scp is this?

Yes, in elevators usually one cable could hold far more than the full weight, then they add 5 more for the safety.
For rail speed limits this is the exact way they calculate it. For road speed limits they consider braking distance, which grows by the square of your speed, so if you go 120 on 60 road, you will need 4 times the distance to stop. I wrote 1.5 as a safety factor, not 4, With a 1.5 safety factor you can go by 75 though, but I would use a 1.1 safety there, as in my country the speed cameras are set up that way, you can go +10% of the official speed limit, they only send a cheque if you went even quicker than that.
It’s not wrong, it’s close enough. And the point it works with more numbers and more type of calculation. Let’s calculate 4% of 1243. That’s the same as 1243% of 4, right, much easier to calculate by simply changing the 2 numbers… While my method is the same, by simply rounding everything.
And in engineering you always multiply/divide your results by a 1.5 or 1.25 safety factor, depending on situation. So you don’t have to calculate exact results, just close enough. E.g. G is always 10m/s2. π is only 3.14, the other digits doesn’t matter.
My engineering brain says it’s 3.25.
4% is ~ 5%. 10% of 75 is 7.5. To get the 5% I have to divide it by 2, so 4% of 75 is close to 3.25. I will have to multiply it with some safety coefficient at the end, so the exact value doesn’t matter.


ncmpcpp -h media-pc
Ncmpcpp is short for NCurses Music Player Client (Plus Plus). Its ui is top notch, its name is super memorable.
I obviously know that, I can recognise such a basic dinosaur. But I pronunce it with latin spelling, and I have no idea how you should pronunce it in english to make the joke work




Ok, I thought this is fake as everything nowadays on the internet, but no it’s a legit screenshot without any shenanigans: https://www.blackpoolfc.co.uk/news/2025/october/04/club-statement--steve-bruce/

I noticed first the text is not center aligned perfectly and the messed up apostrophe. If they couldn’t even add the text manually, I guess everything is just pure lazyness.


Is this AI slop?
No, hecto and deca are also not capitalized. The rule should be, uppercase if more than 10^3. Or simply the change between upper and lowercase is between 10^3 and 10^6, not at 1.
It grinds my gears much more, that all the letters are latin, except μ.
