What is stable? I just run nix flake update then brew a coffee to accompany me for the next 12 hours

C for [ˌt͡ʃɛ.kʰɪ.sl̥oʊ̯.ˈvɑ.kʰi.ə] (Yes I did narrow transcription for the purpose of making it look worse 💀)

I think the point of big data is to collect enough information to extrapolate other qualities about whatever you want to know, so if everyone is on the list then you have no patterns to go off of besides “on Earth” or “in X country”.

Side comment: if 99% of people were on the list, the the govt could just oppress everyone with a 99% accuracy rate. It’s entirely possibly they could pick a proportion drastically lower than 99%

I think it’s kind of funny that they mention to allow the flat earth comments when just previously saying that they want to prevent cult-like behavior; flat-eathers won’t listen despite the evidence. Then again, verifiability doesn’t seem to be holding strong these days

I have quite literally dreamed about running neo/fastfetch 😭

I quite literally did this yesterday, but it’s OK, my roommates already did before me :)

You know, this ain’t so bad

I seriously thought I was reading Spanish at first

I wonder if such a situation could occur if we were in some huge medium where Cherenkov radiation could occur

Hmmmm, I guess that the premise was probably wrong then, since the object necessarily has to have mass and travel slower than c (I mean, a massless object would be constrained the by c anyways). The gravitational lensing is a good addition! I have no idea how I forgot, but I remember a hs physics class where this came up for new telescope images

I always just used my left hand with the thumb and pinky as the y and x axes respectively, then the in-between fingers just help me visualize which “point” is higher (we only have two options to choose from if they’re not equal anyways)

Absolutely agree, lowk a programmer must’ve done it else I don’t think I’ve met a mathmematician (or maybe, not crazy enough ones) that ever preferred redefining variables (esp in pedagogical material!!!)

What do you want to learn PDEs for? It’s not my strong point, but I’ve heard high praise for Partial Differential Equations by Stanley J. Farlow. I found it useful in my undergrad, else I think I could have died in analytical mechanics
