I love how the text seems to be right from the time where the symbol was already abstract, but it was still used as an et ligature instead of a standalone symbol

What does type() mean here?

The effective vibe is much more important than any underlying biology.

Tomatoes are vegetables.

It’s weird because usually the people writing the expressions want to communicate clearly, and stuff like 1/2x is not immediately clear to everyone, so they write the 1/2 as a fraction.

The same expression on both sides of the division sign only reduce to one if they actually bind to the division sign, which is rarely an issue, but that is exactly the thing that is in question here. I think it’s clear that 1 + 1/1 + 1 is 3, not 1, even though 1+1 = 1+1.

But as you said, of course, the evaluation order is just convention, you can just as well write everything in https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_Polish_notation

your first line is correct, but while it looks like 1 (and it might be under different conventions), evaluating according to standard rules (left to right if not disambiguated by pemdas) yields

2(2+2)/2(2+2) = 2(4)/2(4) = 2*4/2*4 = 8/2*4 = 4*4 = 16

Using implicit multiplication in quotients is weird and really shouldn’t happen, this would usually be written as 8/(2*(2+2)) or 8/2*(2+2) and both are much clearer

Your second argument only works if you treat 2(2+2) as a single “thing”, which it looks like, but isn’t, in this case

Not really cylinders, but toruses. Disks with extent are cylinders.

Are you sure? The way I understand it, ray marching is not something that can really replace ray/pathtracing, it’s mainly used for rendering signed distance fields which is cool if you want to draw fractals and stuff, but not very efficient for classical geometry

A piece of software that is the core of each operating system which handles tasks like talking to hardware, scheduling tasks, allocating resources etc.

I like your doubled use of “a” and wish you a long and prosperous life.

He is the dark path in this meme, at least

Do I still have the gun?

Well landau notation only describes the behaviour as an input value tends to infinty, so yes, every real machine with constant finite memory will complete everything in constant time or loop forever, as it can only be in a finite amount of states.

Luckily, even if our computation models (RAM/TM/…) assume infinite memory, for most algorithms the asymptotic behaviour is describing small-case behaviour quite well.

But not always, e.g. InsertionSort is an O(n^2) algorithm, but IRL much faster than O(n log n) QuickSort/MergeSort, for n up to 7 or so. This is why in actual programs hybrid algorithms are used.

As the volume of the room is finite, even “exponential” or worse search algorithms will complete in constant time.

Yeah I mean you can get 95% by just saying everyone is cis, that’s just not an schievement

That’s only how it feels, as you only notice it at all on people where it is “obvious”. And even then, people get it wrong, cis people have been harassed by transphobes often enough. Just be nice.

Based on these numbers alone, anywhere from 0 to 341 respondents could be both straight and cis
