  Redshift comes from relative velocity (and other effects), not acceleration. Andromeda’s light is blueshifted as it’s moving towards us, but it’s not accelerating.

  Three paragraphs may be too long of a read for that person

  Surely you know better after skimming through a dictionary than me, an anarchist that has read dozens of anarchist theory books

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon has a problem with Bioshock⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Core ideas of anarchism: mutual aid, no hierarchies, stateless moneyless society, free association.

  This person: anarchism is capitalism without rules

  Lol, it shows you don’t know how things really work. New bullshit cites old bullshit, it’s all a game of pretending. You can check the statistics of fraudulent papers and that is just takes into account the most obvious ones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky now platform of choice for science community⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s exactly the point. If you want to be a researcher right now you have to play their game. You have to publish papers even if you don’t have anything. So people publish bullshit, use chatGPT, force their name on papers they haven’t contributed and so on.

  Meanwhile the science journals get paid by everyone and pay no one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky now platform of choice for science community⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It certainly doesn’t work, that’s why there exists stuff like arXiv and SciHub

  Same, I could just have to receive my wife with a glass of whiskey and a pussy munching

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On Black Holes...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What do you mean? We understand them well enough that we can predict the gravitational waves of a black hole merger.

  Unless you are in a vacuum chamber, then it makes you lighter. Also you would be dead.

  Lol, you are a reactionary piece of shit.

  Police go to pride because the neoliberal elite has deemed it profitable. A couple of decades ago they called them terrorist, the same way you do with environment and pro palestine activists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pride rainbows taken off police cars after court ruling⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You are delusional if you think police is anything more than a tool of the status quo to maintain their power and do their dirty work. It doesn’t matter the country. Just a few recent examples: 1 2 3

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pride rainbows taken off police cars after court ruling⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Left leaning police is an oxymoron

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the universe about to have a little minty b⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That happened in Permutation City. The simulation could stop intermittently or go extremely slow and no one inside could notice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UwU brat mathematician behavior⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In the case of dx as an infinitesimal it makes sense. You are making a sum of all the values of the function in the integral range and multiplying with a constant dx.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UwU brat mathematician behavior⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you were using nonstandard analysis with dx an infinitesimal you could put it outside I guess. Maybe with differential forms too?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's the dream⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Indie gaming now is great for players, but for gamedevs it is a saturated market and most of them don’t make a profit

  It tracks the quality of your shits, draws a graph of the daily amount that you can share on social media and recommends a list of sponsored foods depending on your needs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fuck geometry⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It depends which metric definition are you using. The one I wrote is a pseudo-Riemannian metric that is not positive defined. Normally physicists use that generalized metric definition because spacetime in most cases has a metric signature of (-1, 1, 1, 1). Points with zero distance are not necessarily the same point, they just are in the same null geodesic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fuck geometry⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can make something like this properly by defining a different metric. For example with metric dl^2^ = dx^2^ - dy^2^ the vector (1, 1) has length 0, so you can make a “triangle” with sides of lengths 1, -1 and 0.

  There is no guarantee a broken game will be ever fixed. See KSP 2.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon quits their job⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  So a company with a higher revenue may reclaim higher costs, even if they paid like shit? Doesn’t look fair to me. In Spain that penalty for not complying with the notice period is automatic. Also companies hiring don’t care for references unless they know directly the person that wrote it (so only useful for small indistry sectors).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon quits their job⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  In Spain you may resign before, but they can subtract for each missing working day to the notice period end the money they own you (it is a penalty, not just discounting from salary the days you are not working). In some cases leaving workers use their remaining PTO days to exchange to leave before the period of notice as they have the same value. So in Spain a greater period of notice can result in bigger penalties when leaving a company, while companies can fire you on the spot (paying the required severance).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon quits their job⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s crazy. So if they present a same day resignation note they have to pay a three month salary penalty? That’s just companies stealing workers’ money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon quits their job⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know what are you talking about. In my country the standard is two weeks and max one month in special cases. I’ve participated in the hiring of multiple people from different European countries and they never asked for more than one month to join in, except when they wanted to relocate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨perspective⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow, that first one is so cool.

  Yeah, I misremembered the Interstellar paper that said it was the first simulation for a movie and thought it was the first image simulation ever. It’s even referencing the old one there.
