What is stable? I just run nix flake update then brew a coffee to accompany me for the next 12 hours

I think the point of big data is to collect enough information to extrapolate other qualities about whatever you want to know, so if everyone is on the list then you have no patterns to go off of besides "on Earth" or "in X country".

Side comment: if 99% of people were on the list, the the govt could just oppress everyone with a 99% accuracy rate. It's entirely possibly they could pick a proportion drastically lower than 99%

I think it's kind of funny that they mention to allow the flat earth comments when just previously saying that they want to prevent cult-like behavior; flat-eathers won't listen despite the evidence. Then again, verifiability doesn't seem to be holding strong these days

 

And fuck I got trapped! Enjoy a picture of chad Kim Dokja from ORV drawn by the artist of Nano Machine :)

I have quite literally dreamed about running neo/fastfetch 😭

I quite literally did this yesterday, but it's OK, my roommates already did before me :)

Not commenting on the validity of the post, but what is the area of a circle doing there? The only explanation I could see for calculus is if their profits were reported to them in an unclear manner (probably not...?) and then doing an optimization problem, but what kind of information must they be giving you to need calculus rather than using like dimensional analysis or something (or maybe it's a tiered system like tax brackets)

I always just used my left hand with the thumb and pinky as the y and x axes respectively, then the in-between fingers just help me visualize which "point" is higher (we only have two options to choose from if they're not equal anyways)

Absolutely agree, lowk a programmer must've done it else I don't think I've met a mathmematician (or maybe, not crazy enough ones) that ever preferred redefining variables (esp in pedagogical material!!!!)

What do you want to learn PDEs for? It's not my strong point, but I've heard high praise for Partial Differential Equations by Stanley J. Farlow. I found it useful in my undergrad, else I think I could have died in analytical mechanics
