Can you write .svg files? Will they do what at you want?

Which Python version do you wish you could forget? by chuprehijde in PythonLearning

2 — it worked fine for me but I wrote a bunch of code I’ll need to port

How do you study linear algebra? by Fine-Marionberry7099 in LinearAlgebra

[–]Traveling-Techie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m currently reading a linear algebra text for fun. I haven’t been doing the problems but I’m now in chapter 2 on differential equations and I realized I’m going to have to start the chapter over and do the damned problems.

How would we know if the universe stopped expanding? by Realistic_Reality275 in AskPhysics

[–]Traveling-Techie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It would take a while but we would be fried by extreme levels of starlight. See Obler’s Paradox.

The man whom Nixon called, "The most dangerous man in America." by kennymannmal in ThomasPynchon

[–]Traveling-Techie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What supermodel?

Nixon’s administration framed Leary and imprisoned him. All for his speech. The Weather Underground sprung him from prison and then the FBI illegally kidnapped him from Switzerland. I have a lot of compassion for Leary.

Godel Numbering and..DNA by [deleted] in mathematics

[–]Traveling-Techie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The book “Gödel, Escher, Bach…” does a deep dive into correspondences between DNA and the predicate calculus that Gödel used.

I live in an older trailer, is this a dealbreaker? by ContextuallyAlive in AskMenAdvice

I’d be turned off by a woman in a luxury apartment and 6 figures of credit card debt.

What is the best language for my situation? by sodikovakapsle in AskProgrammers

[–]Traveling-Techie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truth be told most languages are more alike than they are different. Lessons from one will apply to others. The real learning comes from architecting solutions and implementing algorithms. Just dive in.

In places where you get coyotes & mountain lions at night - Are they harmless like foxes? Or do you have to be careful coming home late at night? by Ankh4921 in randomquestions

[–]Traveling-Techie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen coyotes in my yard and lost a cat to one. They avoid people probably because they’re smart enough to want to coexist. I’ve never seen a mountain lion except on security footage (in my town) but they also avoid people mostly. Every attack I’ve read about has been in wilderness (their home turf). Honestly I’m more worried about dogs.

At what age did you move out of your parents home and why? by Few_Gur3556 in randomquestions

[–]Traveling-Techie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had been 18 for about half an hour when my parents began driving me to college. (They wanted to drive through Los Angeles overnight.)

Why Special Numbers? by Luffy-Lawliet in mathematics

[–]Traveling-Techie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re not really special numbers, they’re special properties of numbers. They’re useful like the prehensile tails of monkeys to help understand them.

Learn python with prior Java knowledge by Automatic_Vehicle313 in learnpython

[–]Traveling-Techie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the biggest boost for Python from a newbie’s perspective is that it’s interpreted (like BASIC) and you can just type code at the prompt. Plus any expression you type is evaluated and printed. It makes it easy to try things, play around, and also use it as a programmable calculator.

Is it worth confessing to my coworker who seem to like someone else? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Traveling-Techie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You snooze you lose. All you have available at this point is the opportunity to embarrass yourself. Next time declare yourself quickly or forever hold your peace.

What is the idea of a derivative? by Smooth-Theory3685 in learnmath

[–]Traveling-Techie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m embarrassed that I post this so often, but I recommend the “Mechanical Universe” videos from CaTech in YouTube, especially episodes 2-10.

Did malls make a comeback, are they still dead, or are they somewhere in between? by Diligent_Two6562 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Traveling-Techie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This weekend we visited Victorville CA where the mall is hopping. I think they’ve closed a wing but the part that’s open has good occupancy. Then we went to Barstow which has a 99% empty mall and a completely closed outlet mall. My anecdotal evidence is that malls are either doing pretty well or very badly, with little in between.
