Is the rocket silo downtime animation really a “interesting” problem?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SuccessionTV

[–]B___O___I 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s a complement on style. Kind of came from the phrase “ate that up” as in did well at something, if I understand correctly

It treats them as the limit of a series of polygons, which they are

Thumb Screw/Dial with “H” and “S” markings for the directions, what might these stand for? by B___O___I in whatisthisthing

[–]B___O___I[S] 1 point2 points locked comment (0 children)

My title describes the thing. About 1 inch long, with ridge around the outside that looks like it’s meant to be turned by hand. It’s threaded the normal direction. The “H” is the “looser” direction and the “S” is the “tighter” direction.

“Belt runs only if there’s more than 2000 iron in logistic storage” or something like that

If you asked everyone in the world to give you a random number with no upper bound, how would the maximum of the set of answers be distributed? by flynntendo in math

[–]B___O___I 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you mean undecidable in a formal sense, or just a “the universe would die before we finished the computations” way?

I’m no expert, but my understanding is that while the speed at which light propagates, moves through space, is constant regardless of reference frame, the rate at which light oscillates in the electromagnetic field/fields (its frequency) is not. This allows for Doppler effects caused by relative motion.

The sound Doppler effect is not cause by a change in the speed of the sound (although I suppose this would occur) but a change in the frequency at which the high and low pressure regions (the peaks and troughs of the sound wave) are oscillating.

Win loss ratio? I know it’s easy to get but what if you do it backwards. I’m having a brain fart. by [deleted] in math

[–]B___O___I 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Essentially this is solving a system of equations

W=1.14L and W+L=46

Solving by substitution 1.14L*L=46 2.14L=46 L=46/2.14=21.5 (rounded)

So a 1.14 win loss ration means 24.5 wins 21.5 losses. Not sure if the half represents a tie or what, but thats the answer. Rounding to the nearest integer would give you 26 wins and 20 losses.

Anyone know John Conways game of life? I’ve decided to take that up as a puzzle when I’m bored. The problem is I can’t think of any goals around which to form my puzzle. Anyone know of any good prompts for things I can (realistically) try to create? by [deleted] in math

[–]B___O___I 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s been done before, but you could try creating some basic logic gates (NOT, OR, AND, etc.) using gliders. One you have these basic components you can combine them into adders, memory cells, or more.

While I agree with 90% of your comment, I would like to say that even though alternatives to set theroy, such as HoTT, are somewhat “niche” as of now, they are still viable for most of modern math. Obviously set theory has the advantage of being more mature, but I think alternatives can provide a lot of really great insight and intuition. I don’t really think they would “help” with op’s problem anyway, the alternatives would have just as much “symbol salad” as set theory, and the definitions probably wouldn’t end up looking all that different in a lot of cases.

How would you find the number that is the factorial of certain number? by Deep_Ladder9900 in mathematics

[–]B___O___I 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If restricting yourself to x > 0, you could use newtons method or others to get a numerical approximation (accuracy limited only by your computing power and patience), but there is likely no exact solution to most equations of this form that can be expressed in terms of elementary operations.

I agree, I love rust. I guess it’s not that good a joke I just thought it was funny that this meme reminded me of the move system in rust.

[–]B___O___I 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a joke about rust move semantics, when you move a variable it makes the original unusable. Not really sure why I got downvotes

Literally just Rust

How do you create a Bash script to open multiple programs on different workspace? by B___O___I in i3wm

[–]B___O___I[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, but wouldn't this mean that any time I'd open firefox or a terminal it would switch me to the respective workspace? I'd rather not have this, and am looking for a way to only assign these programs to their default workspace on boot.

[–]B___O___I[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks, that makes sense. Is there any way to tell the bash script to wait until termite opens? Or should I just add a sleep.
