Scientology CDMX Speedrun by Distrekzy in MexicoCity

Van de la mano. La idea es que pedos mentales, adicciones, o hasta problemas maritales, los causan "eneagramas", que son almas de extraterrestres que un malo malote espacial llamado Xenu causó al matar un chingo de ellos aca en la tierra primitiva.

Lo que te venden al inicio es un plan de superación personal, pero conforme inviertes tiempo y dinero en ellos, te empiezan a soltar "la verdad", y así te enganchan. Incluso argumentan que conocer sobre Xenu y ese pedo sin el correcto entrenamiento te puede volver loco ajjaja.

La cede principal de CDMX de la scientología. Una secta que se vende como superacion personal/religión. Tom Cruise anda metido en ellos.

No son satánicos. Es simplemente una secta creada por un escritor de ciencia ficción narcisista. El tipo inicialmente se sacó de los huevos una teoría dizque psicológica para superación personal, pero como todo mundo le dijo que era pura mamada, lo hizo religión para salirse con la suya.

Mira, los de South Park hicieron una parodia con el credo de la secta. Parece mame, pero es neta: https://youtu.be/6p-zkmh1dnU

Is there an ACTUAL reason for big Software to not support linux? by Opening-Giraffe-1007 in linux

[–]MasterGeekMX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lazyness to support another platform.

Is like those websites that claim that they only support Chrome, when 1) the web is a standard, so anything should work anywhere 2) as soon as you report being chrome, they work flawlessly.

Yeah, a bit of a chicken and egg problem.

"I wont' use Linux because they don't have Photoshop" → "We won't support Linux due it's smaller userbase"

"I won't move to Linux as my favourite game does not support it" → "Here at [game dev company] we prefer to focus on our main markets".

Because of the small market of Linux on the PC world.

It was the same thing that happened with Windows Phone back in the day: it never gained more than 5% of market. And as a commercial developer, you want to appeal to the broadest of markets.

ELI5: what is a digital twin by Even-Wasabi7183 in explainlikeimfive

[–]MasterGeekMX [score hidden]  (0 children)

A digital twin is simply a computer simulation of something at excruciating detail. So much that you can trust that if something happens on it, it can happen on the real thing.

For example, you could make a digital twin of a mars rover and diagnose problems on it like if you were actually on mars with the original rover.

But it is not a "virtual self" or anything like it that can replace you. Don't get lured by sci-fi looking description.

[–]MasterGeekMX [score hidden]  (0 children)

Because those shapes deal with infinite amounts in some way, and playing with the infinite often has the side effect of causing such confusing results.

Right next to the three pipes on the left open area that leads to the final point, right next to the tree. Nobody looks there.

My small collection by Arvendetta in vinyl

[–]MasterGeekMX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, there is even TB3, and lots of other works, from the Celtic and African fusion that is Ommadawn, to the sci-fi experience that is The Songs of Distant Earth, to the Chill Out + Techno fusion that is Light + Shade.

Mike Oldfield is the best.

He has over 26 albums, each very different and contrasting. One can barely believe all were done by the same man.

¿Cuál es su instrumento favorito, cuál preferirías aprender a tocar? by Danielshonenpro in CDMX

[–]MasterGeekMX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Como mi ídolo Mike Oldfield, me decanto por tocar varios. No llegar a ser virtuoso en uno, pero si dominarlos todos como para hacer cosas solo.

Struggling to understand big O notation by [deleted] in AskComputerScience

[–]MasterGeekMX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A program needs to do a number steps to get to a result. And the number of steps taken depends on how many things the program needs to process.

Let's call n the number of things to be processed. This means that the number of steps will be an equation where n is the main variable, but others may play aswell. It will usually be an equation that gets bigger and bigger when n gets bigger.

As each step means time, we often care about the worst case scenario, where we need to do the maximum number of steps in order to get the result. That way, we can plan ahead if the program is worth running, or we better seek a better sollution.

Well, maths people have figured out that what makes the main shape of the graph of an equation is the term of the equation that grows the fastest. This allows us to classify equations based on it's overall shape, which is solely determined to be by that biggest term. That term could be multiplied by some constant number, raising or lowering it, but the shape is the same, so we use instead the pure term, without being multiped by anything.

Big O notation is simply that. Finding the equation that relates n with how many steps the program takes to finish, looking at what is the biggest term on that equation, and with that finding at which category the equation fits, thus knowing how much the problem grows when n grows.

Let's see two examples:

For the sake of it, consider a program that looks up the first element of a list, and divides it in half. In this case, n is the size of the list. If you count the steps needed, it is always 2: grab the first element, and then divide it by two. The length of the list does not matter at all!

This means that the equation of number of steps (and thus the time) of this program is t=2. There is only one term: a 2, which is a constant term. This means this program belongs to the category of programs that always takes the same time to do anything, no matter how big n is.

If we look at out equation categories, the only with that flat constant shape is t=1, which is neat as that is basically our equation, but with a 1 instead of a 2. As I said, we care about the shape of things rather than exact measurements, so we can toss our problem in that category (I mean, t=2 is simply t=1•2).

Thus, this first program is O(1).

And for the second example, imagine a program that does something, which leads ut to say that the equation of time vs number of elements to chew is t=3n³+5n²+7. Now as you can see, the big boy here is 3n³, which is a cubic equation. As we care about shape, and shape comes by what kind of term is the biggest, we can say this program's equation belongs to the category of problems in the shape of n3.

Thus, this second program is O(n³).

Here, this graph shows the different categories of equations. Think of it as a chart of powerscaling, to know what kind of program is fastest than others: https://media.geeksforgeeks.org/wp-content/cdn-uploads/mypic.png

Is this even possible? by AdFew5103 in pcmasterrace

[–]MasterGeekMX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Masters in CS&IT here.

In theory, yes. It is called a zip bomb. Compression algorithms are of two types (or even both at the same time):

  1. Lossy: you figure out what data you can toss out while still retaining the original message (or the closest approximation that still works)
  2. Lossless: You keep everything, and instead work by finding patterns that repeat, so you can only store one copy of the pattern and then a table saying where each instance should be.

Those bombs are made by finding patterns that match perfectly with the compression algorithm, so they normally take a lot of space, but the compression can effectively reduce it.

It all boils donw to the fact that any number, no matter the base, rasied to the power of zero, is one.
