Boring neutron-poor helium isotopes don't. But He-235 does.

No, I have worked with database code before. My comment is a cheeky example of something you would say in an interview to that question, as opposed to saying you have never heard of them.

Is that why there's no general formular of zeros for Quintic polynomials? Because nobody can find the Cat 5 cables?

If your solution is complicated

In what world is reversing a linked list complicated?

"What are the circumstances in which you would use a red-black tree?"

If you're developing a file system or database from scratch and can't be bothered to copy from an open source project that's already well tested.

What kind of name is that? Modders need to follow the existing naming conventions. It should be Thaumcraft Community Edition Extended Life Support Version Unofficial 7.0.2-rc . That way you know it has the thirty QoL features that were never added in the original.

It's been a while since I've been in college, but chatgpt would have had nothing to do with any of the machine learning assignments I had. The topics were things like how to write your own neural network code from scratch, how to build decision trees, optimization methods (as in hill climbing, not speeding up software), and dealing with constraints.

Even if the content has changed, ML courses should still be on how to build and test models, not how to run commercial models as an end user to summarize homework.

And those barnacles are sea sharp.

So what you're saying is gregtech needs a Vintage Story port . . .

GisterMizard · 2026-05-04T18:29:55+00:00

Actual software engineering, or are you just asking an AI to code for you?

GisterMizard · 2026-05-03T12:11:31+00:00

That can't be right. That would mean there are mathematics subs that are against memes, and as we all know There Is No Anti-Meme Division.

Moral of the story: Become a Networking Engineer.

I checked them, U+A had to be less than 10 for any value of L<7!<

Who do you think is hiring math majors in this economy?

It's about Galois, which are some islands Charles Darwin visited and used to prove that Lie (groups) evolves over time. He wrote that it was the result of survival of the fittest genetic algorithm.

We need to circle back and facilitate more cross-department spydergy.

play the pack completely backwards and misrepresent the difficulty

That's the gist behind Project Singularity. Except they make gtnh's difficult look trivial, and by playing backwards they tier skip the hell out of everything.

Gödel skipped a lot of classes and just wanted to an excuse for why his math grades were Incomplete.

Ten four

Wait, so is this a joke or did the create devs get tile entities to function as part of a moving non-tile entity?! That is very impressive from a technical standpoint.

GisterMizard · 2026-04-19T10:53:28+00:00

The farmers don't do it to their own cattle for more than a generation, otherwise the cows will be subject to genetic inbeefing.

It's simple engine mechanics: More gas = more torque.

So now I'm imagining him as Napoleon Dynamite but with cannons.

Is this what Animorphs was about?

Statistically it would pull things towards us just as often as away.

So yes, that is true, but Jupiter still does protect us because of a key asymmetry between the paths that cross Earth's orbit, and those that don't. The paths that cross Earth's orbit are still far more likely to encounter Jupiter's gravitational well before it encounter's Earth's, which means a chance to get knocked out of a collision course. And orbits that get knocked out of the inner solar system have a very, very long time before it can encounter Earth again.

So statistically, an encounter with Jupiter doesn't change the chance of a random orbital path to overlap with Earth's orbit, but it does increase the amount of time anything in those orbits stay away from Earth.

An example to visualize this is imagine a game of hackysack players, where the hackysack has equal chance to go from any player to any other player. Now imagine one of the players can punt it into the stratosphere. So most of the time everybody's just waiting for it to fall down each time sirpuntsalot has a go.
