yeah it’s “surprisingly simple” in the sense that there’s a well-defined algorithm to do it. a computer can do it easily, with very little time/effort. anyways, you don’t need to think about every problem specifically. “now i got this parallelepiped, how do i calculate the volume?” you can just use the same formula every time.
- Comment on So are they like extinct or something? 18 hours ago:
well, almost. it’s a bit different than that.
what you mean is this:
you approximate an integral with a lot of small thin rectangles, but if the curve’s not entirely rectangular, there’s gonna be some error, which becomes smaller as the rectangles become smaller. this can be ignored if the rectangles are thin enough. and it’s not what i meant.
what i meant is something like this:
you take a piece of elastic fabric, and paint some squares on it. now, if you stretch the fabric, the squares change shape, they become approximately parallelepipeds. this is a good approximation. now, if we want to calculate the total area of that fabric (after stretching), we can calculate the area of each of the small parallelepipeds (which is easy to do with the formula in above comment) and then sum them.

sorry i am too tired to explain in full detail rn

oh they don’t appear again, but its generalization, the parallelepiped, does:
it’s used to calculate volumes of curved objects. basically you chop down the object into a lot of small parallelepipeds (mentally), and then calculate the volume of each of them small things and sum over them. Done.
to calculate the volume of a parallelepipede, there’s a surprisingly simple mathematical formula. If you have the vectors for the three sides a, b, c, then the volume V = (a × b) · c, where × is the cross product and · is the dot product. it’s very simple and an effective way to calculate volumes of curved / deformed objects.

bluesky (or rather the underlying protocol, ATProto) is not actually decentralized. all public identity keys (signature keys) reside with a single entity (some non-profit organization in switzerland). if they get hacked, the hackers can forge any identity they want to.

how so?

The mood of the world, not just Lemmy, has shifted and for good reason.
yeah and often to the better. less americanism just means more self-expression for many of us outside of the US.

did you know? time is a measure of progress. if you want time to stop, all you have to do is to stop progress.

it sounds like you only have enough sperm to cum 1 time a year, so if you masturbate and then meet a girl it would be really embarrassing to not have anything to give her? poor you. must guys, however, are more capable than you.

If they hold eye contact with you in a friendly way then try saying hi and just chatting to get to know them a little and what they’re out and about for.
written by somebody who has absolutely zero real-life experience. if you do that, women will say that you can’t just let people “be nice” and have to take everything up as a flirting opportunity.
- Comment on Anon questions the epidemic 4 days ago:
That’s an effective summary of the situation. Society has effectively made it taboo to pursue dating/romance in just about any irl space where you might meet someone. Makes me wonder how much was social engineering on the part of dating apps (like Match group astroturfing on reddit/social media).
i tend to think it’s a christian thing. “sexuality and lust are evil, you’re not supposed to flirt” kinda thing.
- Comment on Anon questions the epidemic 4 days ago:
that is so well-written it deserves a place on my disk.
yeah, that’s precisely how it is. effectively you can’t date women today. i’ve given up. i’m bi so i have other options but damn is the situation not good for anyone straight today.

thx for the reply but i think your keyboard might be shaking. might want to get it checked by a mechanic?

i’m allergic to soy btw, but apparently only to the raw soy (soy drink, soy yoghurt). i can eat cooked soy meat-replacement stuff just fine.
