- Comment on As someone who is aging. Late thirties. How can I keep my finger on the pulse of current trends, particularly in music? 4 days ago:
YouTube music made discovery worse compared to Google music, but it is still OK.
When I hear a good song on a show or movie, I ID it with my phone and explore others by the artist or genre. I also thumbs up it to get more recommendations from YTM
Same when friends recommended music. So yeah, talk to friends about music. And then do the above two steps with their suggestions and likes.

- Comment on Explain yourselves, comp sci. 2 weeks ago:
All vectors are tensors but not vice versa. And every page/definition of vector I’ve seen references magnitude and direction, even the vector space page you linked.
It looks like “vector” commonly refers to geometric vectors which is what most folks in this thread are discussing.
Would N by M vectors be imaginary, where each DOF has real and imaginary components?
- Comment on Explain yourselves, comp sci. 2 weeks ago:
Wouldn’t N by M be a tensor? Magnitude and direction only need one entry per DOF.

- Comment on What characterizes feminine strength? 5 weeks ago:
Strength is the ability to do hard things. Hard is relative. Gender doesn’t play into it at all.
- Comment on How to open a textbook 5 weeks ago:
My favorite class in grad school. I absolutely loved deriving the laws of thermodynamics from first principles based the random motion of atoms. It was beautiful.

- Comment on somewhere a postdoc is crying 1 month ago:
Depends on temperature and pressure. This diagram doesn’t go that low, but I would guess it’s a solid in the near vacuum of space based on what I know of space ice like Saturns rings and comet tails.
- Comment on somewhere a postdoc is crying 1 month ago:
That’s a phase diagram, there’s probably lots of cool things going on in the solid state below that line. Probably different ratio solids at each peak. 1:4 3:2 etc. The % are goofy because it is reported by weight but behaves based on count.

I should be able to do this but it isn’t working. Another commenter fixed.mr moskeeto but I found other problems after that.

KCG blades are my favorite! I don’t have any experience with the razor though.

You can get used Gillette DE for cheap. It may take a bit of labor to get it cleaned up.
- Comment on How do you keep your homes clean? 1 month ago:
Define your standard of clean. How much clutter do you want? How much dirt is OK?
Then break tasks up - decluttering, vacuuming, dusting, mopping, and schedule each as often as is needed.tp.mwet the above standards.
My personal standard is to do light vacuuming and decluttering every day. Dishes and cleaning kitchen +dining room at least daily, sometimes twice as needed. Bathroom cleaning and more extensive vacuuming every week. Dusting and mopping every couple weeks.
Most of my non-floor surface cleaning is done with method pink or 409 and microfiber cloths. A battery Dyson vacuum was a game changer and makes touch ups way easier; no wrangling with cords, just grab it off the wall charger and push it around for a few minutes hitting spots you can see dirt.
Nature’s miracle is great for pet or kid messes, I use both the hardwood and carpet formulas.

It’s like vinyl where the flaws are part of the experience. The original format is objectively worse but nostalgically better.

The average we report is flawed. Perhaps we should calculate an average cost of living for median folks and report the % delta of that.
