  Or get into NFTs? That community would gladly overexplain the term “fungibility” to you. Just give your wallet to someone you trust for safekeeping while you do your research.

  If someone didn’t learn enough trigonometry in school:

  1+tan^2^c = cos^2^c/cos^2^c + sin^2^c/cos^2^c = (cos^2^c + sin^2^c)/cos^2^c = 1/cos^2^c;

  sqrt(1/cos^2^c) = |sec c|

  And here is for the people who still don't get the joke

  The reading of the answer is very similar to the word “sexy”, which makes the whole sentence a reference to the song “Sexy and I Know It” by LMFAO.

  Well, on the side of easy ones there is “if the last digit is divisible by 2, whole number is divisible by 2”. Also works for 5. And if you take last 2 digits, it works for 4. And the legendary “if it ends with 0, it’s divisible by 10”.

  The divisability rule for 7 is that the difference of doubled last digit of a number and the remaining part of that number is divisible by 7.

  E.g. 299’999 → 29’999 - 18 = 29’981 → 2’998 - 2 = 2’996 → 299 - 12 = 287 → 28 - 14 = 14 → 14 mod 7 = 0.

  It’s a very nasty divisibility rule. The one for 13 works in the same way, but instead of multiplying by 2, you multiply by 4. There are actually a couple of well-known rules for that, but these are the easiest to remember IMO.

  How would one go about using that sink?

  That’s some good data! I’m mostly interested in filtering by Linux support and latency/accuracy measurements. Some of them are very helpful, thank you!

  Using a specialized tool for the task is the way to go, in my opinion. I use OpenStreetMaps when I need to look at the map. If I’m looking for some famous place, I look it up on Wikipedia and jump to OSM from there.
