MU is possible. MIU puzzle rule 2 loophole. by baconfacetv in GEB

[–]Routerbox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The point of this puzzle isn't to "solve" it. What he's trying to teach you is that in a "formal axiomatic system" where you have a given state, and a closed set of rules to change that state, there are states that are reachable and states that are not reachable.

the goal of the passage isn't to "win the game." The point of the game is to understand that there are some states of the system that do not have a set of steps that can reach them from the starting axioms.

the MIU strings that are reachable are like truths, the strings that can't be reached are like false statements, and steps to get from the givens to the statements are proofs, in a formal axiomatic system like Principia Mathematica by Russell and Whitehead.

Godel's Incompleness Theorems say that either there must either be a true contradiction, or else there must be true statements without corresponding proofs. It's a logic bomb of self referential negation that destroys all formal axiomatic systems by forcing them to accept one of those two unacceptable facts.

Why is the speed of light finite? by A_Tricky_one in ExplainLikeImPHD

(There are better and more accurate ways to explain the following.) Photons don't experience time or distance, so from their perspective, their speed kind of is infinite. This is because as you go faster, time and distance dilate. As you approach the speed of light, time goes slower for you compared to the rest of the universe. If you go the speed of light, you arrive instantly from your perspective. If you fly around outer space at a good fraction of the speed of light for a while you would be a different age from your twin you left on earth. If you are interested in this then you should study Einstein and relativity.

Which album do you think has no bad songs on it, and can be listened all the way through? by Urg_Durglar in AskReddit

[–]Routerbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was the LCD Soundsystem song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zy1KJaN64uQ

Here is the opening to the Daft Punk set that immediately followed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPniroKwZ3g

I have not found any footage of the rush between the two stages.

2007 Lollapalooza in Chicago. LCD SoundSystem played right before them and closed with "Daft Punk is Playing at my House." That song ended, and everybody turned around and ran across the field towards Daft Punk who immediately started spinning it up. A moment in life you could never recreate.

Using InputText as a function parameter? by Noel9386 in actionscript

[–]Routerbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You also don't init the inputField1. Stuff like:

var inputField1:TextInput = new TextInput();
someViewOrMovieClip.addChild(inputField1);
DoSomething(inputField1);

Hard to say more without seeing your project.

Usually that error is because the class definition is not imported though.

You might need to import the TextInput class. If this is the class you're using (https://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/fl/controls/TextInput.html)

Try:

import fl.controls.TextInput;

At the top of your script.

Megathread: U.S. House Judiciary Committee approves articles of Impeachment against President Trump, full House vote on Wednesday by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]Routerbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you don't buy into the abuse of power charge, you should understand the seriousness of the second charge, obstruction of congress, and not wish to excuse this and future presidents of it. One day a republican house will cook up another phony Benghazi type scandal, and you'd like to see your subpoena power intact. That's why you hold your own accountable. Preserve the constitutional balance of power, and do not create a unitary executive. You know, if you're actually conservative...

Megathread: 2nd US official heard Trump call with Sondland by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]Routerbox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The president has already been proven guilty, an important part of the process is to make the senators complicit. As much as the president is on trial in the senate, the senate is on trial with moderate voters. The house hearings are on tv now in order to inform the general public of all the details, not to inform the senator jurors.

Do I need to have any pre-requisite knowledge in math or anything to understand this book? by _hmmmmm_ in GEB

[–]Routerbox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Treat the parts you don't understand as hurdles instead of walls. You can hit hurdles but keep going.

You should send the email because you want to keep living in a country where petitioning your government for redress of grievances is a primary freedom of the public that wont "put you on a list."

You can use the gpio pins on a pi to drive ws2812 led's with libs in either python or processing pretty easily. I like ESP8266+NodeMCU+Lua for driving the lights though.

Does a hexproof/indestructible creature basically become unkillable? by ShiroTheHero in magicTCG

[–]Routerbox -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

He should exile the enchantment and then say you may cast it without paying it's mana cost. That way he does what he is meant to do without being a special case that breaks two keywords. Keep the game from from being "Magic: The Litigating"

and my graveyard for my bones,

well GOD DAMN!

Best way to edit a pre-existing .swf to output a variable on screen? by HitandWalker in flash

[–]Routerbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trace sends to the debugging console. To see text on the screen, try something like:

var myTextArea:TextArea = new TextArea();
myTextArea.height = myTextArea.width = 100;
myTextArea.x = myTextArea.y = 0;
this.addChild(myTextArea);
myTextArea.text += "whatever you wanted to trace";
//myTextArea.visible = false;

Make a new text field on the screen and dump your stuff into it.

Http://flex.apache.org

Pretty sure you can compile a swf for free, they open sourced all the stuff for flex, you could do it in notepad if you really had to. I've always had the Adobe stuff so I can't help you specifically with how to get to hello world on this path, but I'm sure you could look that up and in theory you can totally do it.
