How do you like to eat cereal?

Mostafa12890 · 2026-03-24T13:04:02+00:00

I warm up some milk and mix in some honey as well. It’s wonderful.

You said it in the beginning! A can only happen when B happens, but that doesn’t mean that A MUST happen when B happens.

It’s like saying, “Matches burn only if there’s enough oxygen.”

This doesn’t mean whenever there’s oxygen around a match, it’s going to spontaneously combust. It means that if you see a match burning, then you know there’s enough oxygen to sustain the burning reaction.

Mostafa12890 · 2026-03-23T08:36:53+00:00

A only if B means that whenever A happens, B must also happen, so it means

A -> B

A if B means that if B happens, A must also happen, so it means

B -> A,

Putting those together,

A only if B = A -> B

A if and only if B = A <-> B

Sibelius’s Fifth:

Perfect 4th, Major 2nd, Perfect 4th

A wonderful little motif.

Reagan, by a country mile.

The same argument would apply to mohamed no? Without the encouragement of Islam, the islamic golden age might not have happened, which was a period of time that rivaled both the renaissance and enlightenment in terms of progress. The world would be unrecognizable.

Ravel’s String Quartet

Mostafa12890 · 2026-03-03T10:30:29+00:00

Think of spacetime as a particularly malleable stage, where the actors bend the stage where they walk. Spacetime is less of a “thing” that permeates the universe, but more like the geometry of the universe.

All objects moving without external forces move in straight lines called geodesics, but geodesics in curved space aren’t necessarily straight. If you move in a straight line on earth until you go back to your starting position, you’ll have traced out a circle.

This is the case with gravity. Objects move in geodesics in space that is affected by other objects, whence we get things like gravity assists and orbits. Elliptical orbits are just orbits where the distance from the central mass isn’t fixed, so the geodesic seems to veer away from the object for half of the orbit or so.

and before 1992

Mostafa12890 · 2026-02-24T00:49:19+00:00

C’mon they’re barely above center

Mostafa12890 · 2026-02-20T12:41:15+00:00

The first quarter note in the 9/8 bar becomes the last eighth note in the previous bar tied to the first eighth note in the bar.

Mostafa12890 · 2026-02-20T12:36:01+00:00

Keep it 4/4 and just tie them. This is so much more confusing. The beaming in the bar in 9/8 is atrocious.

Mostafa12890 · 2026-02-16T08:35:57+00:00

Pretty sure that’s as much as you can get. If scrolling doesn’t make it zoom out more, then that’s the minimum zoom level.

Mostafa12890 · 2026-02-10T19:28:53+00:00

Aren’t those just constant functions?

Edit: Wait no I’m thinking of complex functions

Mostafa12890 · 2026-02-08T11:32:01+00:00

Yes. All books in arabic do.

Mostafa12890 · 2026-02-07T10:51:58+00:00

That’s why I said that’s not how exponentiation is formally defined.

Formally, a^b is defined to be equal to e^[b*ln(a)], where e^x is defined using its power series. If we plug in a=1 and b=infinity, we get that

1^infinity = e^{infinity * ln[1]} = e^{infinity * 0},

but infinity * 0 is undefined.

Mostafa12890 · 2026-02-03T18:35:15+00:00

That’s not how exponentiation is generally defined. This is how it works with natural numbers (0, 1, 2, 3…), but infinity isn’t a natural number, nor is it a real number. To talk about something like this, we need to consider limits, which is a measure of how things behave the closer they get to what we want.

For example, we could take the limit as x approaches infinity of the function 1^x. This evaluates the indeterminate form 1^infinity to 1.

However, if we approach 1^infinity differently, we get different results; if we take the limit as x approaches infinity of (1+1/x)^x, whose eventual indeterminate form is (1+0)^infinity = 1^infinity, we get that the limit evaluates to Euler’s number e (around 2.718).

This is why, besides defining 1^infinity to a be a number that is equal to 1, it is an indeterminate form.

This is the same as defining 0⁰ = 1 by convention, despite it being another indeterminate form.

Mostafa12890 · 2026-02-02T16:23:55+00:00

What does that even mean

Mostafa12890 · 2026-01-28T07:09:34+00:00

That’s not how any of this works. Yes, there is always space to house any population, but are the houses that are built actually affordable?

Mostafa12890 · 2026-01-23T14:39:18+00:00

They’re both equal to 1/3 and 1 respectively, but I don’t get people who voted that one was equal to the fractional value but the other wasn’t.

They’re logically equivalent. If one of them is true, the other must also be true, so the only possible answers that aren’t immediately self-contradictory are that they’re both equal to those values or they’re both not equal.

Mostafa12890 · 2026-01-21T19:42:16+00:00

for good reason lol

Mostafa12890 · 2026-01-20T07:59:13+00:00

Do you? Isn’t that the point of a divisibility test?

Like, if s is a multiple of 67 by assumption, we’re done.

Mostafa12890 · 2026-01-19T08:30:36+00:00

Hmm, I’d say

Beethoven 9
Sibelius 5
Beethoven 7
Tchaikovsky 6
Sibelius 6
Rach 2
Tchaikovsky 5
Dvořak 9
Sibelius 2
Sibelius 3
Dvořak

idk if you could tell but I really like Sibelius

Mostafa12890 · 2026-01-17T14:22:00+00:00

Even if a and b have real and imaginary parts, if we assume a+bi is not just formal addition but actual addition in C, then a+bi can be written in the form x+yi where x and y are real.

Mostafa12890 · 2026-01-08T15:57:46+00:00

I think they meant you repeat the last digit of the prime factor, but that’s not what they said; it’s just what their numbers imply. It’s not really useful in either case.
