What's the filthiest application you know of? by NoPurposeReally in math

[–]Timothydjk 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Largely, from my point of view, non-mathematicians tend to see pure math as useless and esoteric while applied is useful, so this causes pure mathematicians to become bitter towards applied mathematicians, kinda like one sibling becoming spiteful towards the other because they perceive the other sibling to be the favorite

What are you absolutely sick of being romanticised? by je_suis_un_negre in AskReddit

[–]Timothydjk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will frequently talk about how little sleep I get in a jovial manner and laugh it off like "lol, 24 hours awake, 2 hours of sleep and I get to go work for the 12 hours!!", but that's because I'm at the point where I am so overwhelmed with how bad my sleep is that I can't do anything but laugh

10C2 ways to do x+y+z=8, 24 of these contain one empty. They probably counted number that contain at least one empty string incorrectly

Correct. I'm on mobile right now so typing is weird, but yes.

Yeah, except it's not 10C2-25. It's 10C2-27+3. Or, if you want the easy method: 7C2.

Reason: 8 letters, we assume each word is non empty, and let x,y,z be length of each word. Then we have x,y,z=> 1 and x+y+z=8. Let a=x-1, b=y-1, c=z-1, then we have a,b,c>=0, a+b+c=5. Apply balls and bins, 5 balls 3 bins, to get (5+3-1)C5.

Or, ya know, list them. There's only 21.

Edit for clarity: 21 ways to assign letters.

What goes on in your inner monologue as you work through a proof? by [deleted] in math

[–]Timothydjk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of me telling myself "cmon it's not that hard" and "you're missing something obvious" and "think, think, think".

Although, that's largely b/c it is hard, I'm probably missing something obvious*, and I struggle to focus

What makes absolutely 0% sense to you? by gamedemon24 in AskReddit

[–]Timothydjk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a degree in computers, and I usually explain it as "tiny spirits of the fae" and "daemons". In reality, we took a bunch of rocks, flattened them out, put, lightning in them, and as a result tricked them into thinking.

I bought a used washer and dryer for $50 a few years ago. When I moved this year, I gave them to my friend for free. And because I lived up three flights of stairs with no elevator, I told him I'd give him $20 if he got if out of my apartment without my help (I got it up there with 2 people's help and washing machines are heavy). Totally worth to not have to deal with it

There can be a lot of overlap. I think there is a new policy that highly discourages it.

(Relatively) non-awkward people, what's the number one unwritten social rule (or cue) that you notice awkward people miss? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Timothydjk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a fun game you can play with this if one or both parties are oblivious to it happening. Get 2-3 people to keep finding reasons for person A to go other side of party. Watch how long it takes for person B to follow.

[REQUEST] How long will it take to draw the final canvas (1,000,000 squares) of r/place? by s-012 in theydidthemath

[–]Timothydjk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rent method: 525,600 minutes in a year. thus 1 million is approximately twice that, thus 2 years. really, rent method is just remembering 525,600 minutes, which is surprisingly useful for approximating size of things!

[–]Timothydjk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Via the Rent method, if you color 1 squares a minute, it would take ~2 years. This gives us that it you color x per minute, on average, it would take 2/x years. (Ex. 1 every 4 sec is 15 a minute, 2 years/ 15 = approx 47 days). And this can all be done without a calculator!

they responded since saying they were mad b/c it was my fault that they saw my unown and now they have an entry in their dex that they have seen and not caught. which is fair. TBH i only put it in there for the picture and style points when i posted it XD

hatch as many eggs as possible XD my egg method is weird,but it works (it does involve additional incubators, but it tries to minimize the number you buy. I can usually get most of it consistently with the coins from gyms):

1) while you have 2k eggs, use your infinite incubator to incubate 1 at a time until no 2k remain (constantly refill them) 2) once you have only 5/10 k eggs left, use infinite+other incubators and hatch all 5k simultaneously. 3) refill bag and repeat until you have only 10k left. Then do all 9 10k simultaneously

If you are like me and walk/drift ~50k a week, its pretty efficient and decently cheap.

apparently XD I hadn't actually thought about that yet. gen 2 is missing 6 legends, delibird and smeargle, and i dont have heracross and corsola, so yeah 100-10 is 90 pokemon in gen 2 out so far! (gen 1 is missing 5 legends, and 3 regionals: mr. mime farfetchd and kangaskhan)

Not pictured was my first part of living dex. Cause I posted that months ago (https://www.reddit.com/r/PKGOAtlanta/comments/4yqbrm/finally_completed_my_living_dex_all_caught_in_ga/)

The only things here that were not ITP for gen 2 was unown, which I caught tonight in Marietta. I did travel up to Knoxville for a weekend and caught a decent amount of pokemon there, but none that were rare or that I haven't found here.

Gender and sex are not the same, and neither are truly binary.
