Or do think there’s something special about the person that makes them flip tails more often?

Yes, that’s the conclusion that the scientist has come to. The chance of getting 20 in a row is so extraordinarily unlikely that it’s reasonable to conclude that the chance is not 50/50 for that particular surgeon.

The normal person thinks that because the last 20 people survived, the next patient is very likely to die.

The mathematician considers that the probability of success for each surgery is independent, so in the mathematician’s eyes the next patient has a 50% chance of survival.

The scientist thinks that the statistic is probably gathered across a large number of different hospitals. They see that this particular surgeon has an unusually high success rate, so they conclude that their own surgery has a >50% chance of success.

not() is a base function that negates what’s inside (turning True to False and vice versa) giving it no parameter returns “True” (because no parameter counts as False)

Actually, not is an operator. It makes more sense if you write not() as not () - the () is an empty tuple. An empty tuple is falsy in Python, so not () evaluates to True.

Oh, really? That’s disappointing to hear; I had no idea he was like that.

Oh hey, it’s the Minecraft guy

Does he know the kings of England, does he quote the fights historical?

It’s meant to show Adam and Eve being cast out of the garden of Eden. Trump is depicted as an angel holding a flaming sword, which is a reference to this Bible verse:

He drove out the man, and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the cherubim and a flaming sword that turned every way to guard the way to the tree of life.

Genesis 3:24 NIV

The artist is trying to imply that the Biden administration’s choices will cause them to be expelled from the White House (the “garden”), and that Trump (an “angel”) will be instated by God to prevent them from ever returning.

Last I heard they want to switch to another platform, and don’t consider it worth upgrading to 0.19 because they’re leaving soon so it wouldn’t be worth the hassle.

This is pure guesswork on my part, but they could be waiting for Sublinks (a Lemmy-compatible backend) to get up to speed before switching to that. They say that the new platform is “compatible with all Lemmy apps”, and Sublinks is the only project I know of that fits that criteria.

One option would be to use an enum with a label computed property.

enum TransitionState {
    case stageOne, stageTwo, stageThree

    var label: String {
        switch self {
             case .stageOne: "Stage one!"
             case .stageTwo: "Stage two!"
             case .stageThree: "Stage three!"
        }
    }
}

struct MyView: View {
    @State var transitionState: TransitionState = .stageOne

    var body: some View {
        Text(transitionState.label)
    }
}
