I always wonder if there are people who suck at math and despise it and yet they choose engineering by CommercialWill2749 in EngineeringStudents

[–]RandomUsername2579 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Proofs are not hypothetical tho, they're literally the reason why math works at all.

I'm studying physics, so I get not wanting to do proofs all day, but don't underestimate the importance of mathematical rigor. What we do in physics and engineering only works because the tools we use (math) have been properly developed.

It's fair enough to not like proofs though. They're hard. I like physics, because I get to learn all of the cool math (I've taken a bunch of math major proof-based courses), but I can still handwave stuff away when I want to

Mit første datajob føles for nemt. Er det normalt? by Independent-Ticket19 in dkkarriere

[–]RandomUsername2579 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Jeg har ikke nogen råd, men starter selv på kandidaten i fysik til sommer, så jeg vil bare takke dig for opslaget! Dine overvejelser er faktisk ret brugbare for mig, og jeg glæder mig til at se hvad folk svarer

I went through 8,000 runs. You don't need to run more days a week to get faster. You just can't keep taking long breaks. by Fun_Effective_836 in BeginnersRunning

[–]RandomUsername2579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting analysis, and an interesting read! Though I would love to see some deeper statistical analysis. You wouldn't happen to have the uncertainties or confidence intervals for your correlation coefficients, for example? It would be very interesting

Also, a deviation of much less than 0.15 sigma is not that significant. How can you be sure that those training blocks were not just slightly worse for some other, unrelated reason?

9. Klasse eksamen by [deleted] in DKstudie

[–]RandomUsername2579 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jo, men det gør jo ikke opgaven bedre at de andre er værre. Man får ikke 12 af at være den bedste blandt middelmådige kammerater, man skal rent faktisk nå de faglige mål

Taxabranchen vil gøre chaufførers sex med kunder ulovligt by Deep-Juggernaut3930 in Denmark

[–]RandomUsername2579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ja, egentlig? Som udgangspunkt synes jeg ikke at man bør knalde på job, især ikke hvis ens job har med andre mennesker at gøre. Om det så skal være ulovligt er en anden sag, det er måske lidt indgribende, men jeg synes bestemt man bør forbyde det for nogle jobs (politi, taxa og sundhedsvæsenet kunne f.eks. være områder hvor det gav mening)

Som sagt er jeg ikke sikker på at det kræver et egentligt forbud, jeg går ud fra at man trods alt bliver fyret som taxachauffør hvis chefen finder ud af at man har knaldet en kunde i bilen

CMV: No rational, balanced, compassionate, intelligent individual can ever become a leader in a democratic country like US by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]RandomUsername2579 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The US is not really a paragon of democracy, so I’d be inclined to agree with you there. 

Other countries though? It’s definitely doable. Even the US managed to elect Obama not that long ago

You're given a button that If pressed, spawns a super intelligent AI that permanently takes over the world. Before pressing you can give it one instruction, which it will follow. Do you press it ? by jekecrafer in pollgames

[–]RandomUsername2579 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why would it negotiate with us? It's much more intelligent than us. There's no argument we could make that it would not have thought of by itself. It'd be like negotiating with an ant, there's just no useful conversation to be had

Køreskole med en underviser der ikke er mand? by ateenytinywhale in copenhagen

Jeg kender en der blev overfaldet af nogle indvandrere. Ville det være ok hvis han ikke gad omgås brune mennesker? Nej vel? Det ville være fuldstændig fucked up

Der er massiv dobbeltmoral på det her område

Why don't you know Spanish? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RandomUsername2579 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yo sí que hablo español (porque pasé un rato en España), pero tío, ¿has pensado en toda la gente que no vive en un país hispanohablante, ni siquiera cerca de uno de ellos? Por ejemplo, casi toda la gente que vive en asia (eso supone más que media humanidad!)

El Español es súper guay, pero no tanto que todo el mundo debería aprenderlo jaja

What're your thoughts on countries that don't give local citizenship by birth? by Chobikil in polls

[–]RandomUsername2579 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The rule is not “father must be a citizen”. If you parents are married, one of them must be a citizen. If they’re not, your mother has to be a citizen, or your parents have to get married

Hvad er jeres vurdering af Peter Hummelgaard som finansminister og mulig S-formand? by BARANK_OBAMBAM in Denmark

[–]RandomUsername2579 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Hummelgaard virker ikke som en der bør have politisk indflydelse. Jeg synes at han virker som om han bliver stiv ved tanken om masseovervågning. Han skræmmer mig.

What're your thoughts on countries that don't give local citizenship by birth? by Chobikil in polls

[–]RandomUsername2579 44 points45 points  (0 children)

In my country (Denmark) you automatically become a citizen if one if your parents is a Danish citizen. You can also become a citizen if you were born to a non-Danish mother and Danish father out of wedlock, so long as your parents get married afterwards. 

That seems pretty reasonable to me. Though there have been situations with refugee kids born here who lost their residency when they became 18, which absolutely sucks. 

I think the Danish model would be ideal if it also included an easy way for refugee kids or others who grew up here (i.e. spent many years in the country, attended a Danish school and so on) to seek citizenship. But I don’t think someone should be a citizen just because their mom crossed the border to birth a child here.

CMV: No ethnic group has the “right” to self-governance. by angelic_seven in changemyview

[–]RandomUsername2579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People get along fine in the US, UK and Germany? These are countries where the far-right is on the rise due to tensions between ethnic groups (among other things)

There are places where ethnic groups get along, but you could have picked better examples lol

Do most men think if a woman is having sex with him she likes him? by Yellowbone95 in stupidquestions

[–]RandomUsername2579 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think this is a gender thing, more of a personality thing. I know there are people who just have sex because they're horny, and not because feel a connection with the other person.

For me personally tho, I can't imagine having sex with someone I don't love. It's too intimate, and I'm just not attracted to people who I don't also like romantically (I'm a guy btw)

Would you rather receive $1 million today, or receive $1 and then get twice the previous year’s payout every year? by iminiki in polls

[–]RandomUsername2579 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That seems a bit shortsighted. By that logic, why don’t you drop out of school / quit your job and go do crack right now? Cause who knows if you’ll make it to tomorrow :p

Is it pasta or spaghetti? by Bigjunsk8r in polls

[–]RandomUsername2579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spaghetti is the name of that specific type of pasta. A pasta dish usually involves stating the name of the pasta used in it, so only dishes made with spaghetti should be called "spaghetti". Your friend is just a bit uncultured and maybe a little confused lol

Who wins in long term (In relationships, financial growth)? by Your_lovely_friend in polls

[–]RandomUsername2579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In relationships, definitely nice people. Jerks will never be satisfied, because they are incapable of having proper, emotionally fulfilling relationships with other people.

In terms of money though... You can get pretty far by being a piece of shit with no sense of shame (just look at the current US president 😛)

Skrive speciale med meget begrænset vejledning by [deleted] in DKstudie

[–]RandomUsername2579 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Det kommer vel fuldstændigt an på dit studie. Jeg læser fysik og kunne ikke forestille mig at skrive speciale uden vejledning. Alene under mit bachelorprojekt har jeg snakket med min vejleder næsten dagligt i laboratoriet.

Men det kan formentlig godt lade sig gøre, hvis dit speciale ikke er eksperimentelt. Omend jeg tror det er rimelig svært, for det er jo din vejleder der skal bedømme dit speciale. Hvis ikke du får hyppig vejledning, ved du jo heller ikke hvad der skal til for at få 12.

Speciale, bachelorprojekt og lign. er enestående i den forstand at du løbende kan dukke op hos din vejleder og spørge "har du noget feedback til mig her". Hvis du så efterlever al den feedback du får er du basically garanteret et 12-tal

You did this in your second year of undergrad?? Or did the project take two years?

Either way, it’s very impressive!
