Yeah

Can you tell us more? It sounds legitimately interesting.

That’s a stupid comparison, because earth and Jupiter change their distance all the time. Orbital mechanics and so on.

Man I wish
- Comment on Heiroglyphs 2 weeks ago:
I’m learning Japanese for more than a year by now. I know hiragana, katakana and a small amount of kanji by now. I don’t really know a lot about calligraphy, I purposefully avoid learning to write kanji and their stroke order.
- Comment on Heiroglyphs 2 weeks ago:
Not sure but I think you mean chunking. When you know a word you don’t need to read all letters by themselves but know roughly what the word looks like as a whole, so you can read it faster. This also inrotrozutes a failure rate of course, but works pretty well.

Where is the し?Do Japanese people have some kind of Schreibschrift for kana, so many new questions

Damn it now I lost. It’s your fault for talking about the game! You lose too!

It’s not magic if it can be scientifically proven and studied

This is fine Datacenter burns
- Comment on Is there any significance to people using emojis that match their skin tone? 3 weeks ago:
I like how Japanese does it, just call people by names and titles instead. 2nd person and 3rd pronouns exist but are only rarely used.

That only makes sense for the first rotation, afterwards, the view will be blocked by the circle above.
Unless we’re doing a contour plot, which inserts a constant for the z value of the function. (Too much Multivariable analysis in my head right now)

Minecraft taught me that diorite is also a stone, so maybe it’s when the two kinds of stones are mixed together?

So what? Illegal things happen all the time.

Are the cars destroyed in the process?
- Comment on Seems awfully dangerous 4 weeks ago:
Not motorcycling only, everything in the proximity of cars.
Fuck cars.

That’s a good one. Did not know that xkcd yet.

I only watched a documentary by public German media, sorry.
- Comment on Mushroom ID 5 weeks ago:
Which makes you scared of them, perhaps.
Also, have you seen how mycelium works and so on, the biology is amazing, but it’s also scary.
- Comment on Mushroom ID 5 weeks ago:
Those things scare me.
- Comment on Why has no one thought of this before?! 5 weeks ago:
The hoi4 mod “The new order” explores this idea further, among others.

HTML. Some it people have their CV on their personal website.

I’m doing my math homework with latex this semester, I’m probably slower but it looks good and is more maintainable.
- Comment on LPT Do it. 5 weeks ago:
You can just create a local repo with
git init
, and then never push to a (non existent) remote repository. Git is decentralized, meaning that you always have a functional and complete repo when you’re working with it.Depending on your tooling, you probably have a GUI for git if you’re a noob, which can usually “initialize a git repo” for you. I use the cli/lagygit tui, so I can’t help with that.
- Comment on LPT Do it. 5 weeks ago:
Same except that I taught myself. Written two essays for uni already with it and knew from the start that I wouldn’t touch word if I didn’t absolutely need it.
Latex is confusing, the errors are often even less clear than Python or Java tracebacks, some packages have weird API or don’t work together, and I had to make a build script to work with it, but besides that, I have a good language and environment now to create pretty good PDFs with, including VCS with git and not having to use an editor that is not neovim.
If you want to look deeper, there are a few more typesetting languages, some with more modern syntax. Markdown is surely the easiest, but not quite as powerful.
- Comment on LPT Do it. 5 weeks ago:
Perhaps M$ does that specifically to make it hard to work with their formats? That way, tools like libre office stay not 100% compatible, preserving their market share.
- Comment on LPT Do it. 5 weeks ago:
Adding comments to PDFs is actually very easy, is it not? Even that Adobe PDF crapware can do it, you don’t even need a good pdf reader (like Okular from KDE).

True, it sounds like that might be a problem if we consider that physics has to be between math and computer science.
(Have a nice day)
- Comment on near zero 5 weeks ago:
Floating point numbers are not possible in two’s complement, besides that, what is your point? 0,99999999… is probably the same as 1.
- Comment on near zero 1 month ago:
What do you mean? In two’s complement, there is only one zero.
