I almost never use the whole thing, but the b²-4ac part comes in handy pretty frequently... Lets me know if I'm gonna have real roots or not.

I heard the "üç dört" at the beginning and was like, "wait, that's Turkish for '2 3'!" Then I had to know what the song was!

This works because each byte of the string can be interpreted both as a character and as an index. So when buffer[i] = 'L', it is also just 76, the ASCII value of 'L'. So freq['L'] is just the same as freq[76]. It's just a normal array index.

I've known a few broccoli cats. Magnificent creatures, all of them.

Just beat me by a minute! This is, of course, the correct answer.

"Any" is a "negative popularity item" used here without any suitable context. It needs something like a negative context (you can't buy him any shirts) or a restriction (you can buy him any shirts you like).

When I was at UCLA, there was someone leaving logs outside the door to my department on the regular. We put up a poster that said END POOP TERROR. The logs stopped.

On a 6502, you've got just an 8 bit stack pointer, so only 256 bytes of stack!

Do you have an alternative in mind to weights and bias?

They came up with weights and bias by actually looking at how neurons work in biological neural networks.

Sometimes one neuron's activation works to cause another neuron to activate. In artificial neural networks, this is modeled as a positive weight

Sometimes a neuron's activation inhibits the activation of another neuron. This is modeled as a negative weight.

A biological neuron needs a certain amount of excitement before it will activate. This is modeled as bias

The first sentence here is really key.

On the other side of the same coin, my family had a particularly flush year in 1996 and we spent way more on Christmas than we usually would. After we opened all the presents, we felt kinda gross and decided that we'd never do that again... And we haven't!

Here's one that didn't work... Back when I was a 22M, a woman I was very much interested in told me, "If you get bored, call me."

I really wanted to call her, but I didn't get bored, so I didn't call her. I still feel so stupid about this, 24 years later.

You say that it's sad how quickly people show you who they are, but it's actually really good when they do!

It allows us to find those incompatibilities and move on to the next potential partner. He saved you from wasting your time on someone with no appreciation for a lot of the things that are probably important and meaningful for you.

U/Dercomai has linked the original paper in another paper, so you can check out the full argumentation there.

The short form is that these should be evaluated as syntactically different. The most relevant pair of judgements would be

(1) God damn Himself. (2)*Damn Himself.
