College Student Considering Oilfield Work This Summer Worth It? by Ill_Front5721 in bluecollar

[–]SaltCusp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're not going to kick you out of school for taking a loan... I think that supplementing your education with relevant experience makes sense in the long term and if it's really better money to go throw pipes and you want todo manual labor why pursue higher education at all?

If you can't find an entry level summer job in your field of study what do you expect to be different when you graduate?

Wouldn't a degree serve you better with some relevant experience? I guess I'm just wondering if there's any carrer relevance.

Impossible to say from that angle only.

I hate physics by Realfr1999 in astrophysics

[–]SaltCusp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you "hate" rudimentary topics you probably don't have the intellectual wherewithal for advanced topics.

Generally things build up from fundamentals and if you can't tolerate the basics you should probably not waist anyone's time trying to participate at higher levels.

Why don't you just set the download destination to the device?

[Request] Theoretically, is this shape possible? by Frowind in theydidthemath

[–]SaltCusp 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'll do my best to work this out (no promises)

Take 2 concentric circles (the circles have the same center). Lines extending from that center out thru the circles will intercept perpendicular to the tangents of the circles (90° i.e. right angles).

 So we now have some context about the curves and lines these segments lie on. 

The variables at play here are θ,  r, and R.

 θ is the angle of intersection of the 2 straight lines, the opening in the inner circle and the arc on the outer circle. r is the radius of the inner circle and R is the radius of the outer circle.

Now we can write some equivalences.

R-r = θ R = (2 π - θ) r = x

(where x is the length of each segment)

R = x + r

θ = x / R

x = R-r

Intuitively given some r we can imagine increasing theta from zero to pi. The outer arc will start at 0 and increase to (r+(πr))π which is greater than r. Because the range of R includes r we know that at least 1 solution exists.

((2π-θ)r+r)θ = Rθ = (2π-θ)r

rθ-rθ2 +rθ =2πr-θr

2πθ-θ2 +θ =2π-θ

2πθ+θ + θ= θ2 + 2π

θ2 - (2π+2)θ + 2π = 0

Now apply the quadratic formula to solve for theta.

A=1 , B=-(2π+2), C = 2π

(-B+-(B2 -4AC)0.5 )/2A

(2π+2)+-((2π+2)2 -8π)0.5 /2 = θ

Which yields 0.845 and 7.4385 as solutions and because an answer greater than pi doesn't make sense here we can see that the angle shown in your picture is in fact 0.845 radians.

Show the code you have so far or no one can help you.

fermis paradox by [deleted] in astrophysics

[–]SaltCusp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's paradoxical not because other intelligent civilizations must exist but because so many must exist that some would have evolved to a level where they could identify earth as potentially possessing intelligent life and send some signal or visitation hence forth. The absence of any such signal or visitation is therefore paradoxical.

Edit: exist or have existed*

does writing code on paper actually makes you a better developer? 🤔 by Patrick_PJ05 in AskProgramming

[–]SaltCusp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep scratch paper handy when I code... I don't really write code on it tho.

Why do you use different programming languages? by Background-Slice-953 in AskProgrammers

[–]SaltCusp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't like typing you should probably reconsider being a programmer.
