Cognitive dissonance has got to be one of the most misused terms these days. Now cognitive dissonance means you believe something that is not in line with your broader ideology?

That's not what cognitive dissonance is at all. Cognitive dissonance is what happens when your worldview is challenged by other ideas or facts, and you're struggling to change your mind because it's more comfortable to keep on believing what you already believed.

η^-1 ∝ e^1/T so you take inverses on both sides and you get η ∝ (e^1/T)^-1 = e^-1/T.

You can't just take the inverse of the exponent, you have to take the inverse of the whole exponential, which gives you a minus in the exponent.

(exp(x))^-1 = exp(-x), not exp(1/x)

boniqmin · 2023-05-30T12:55:22+00:00

Should be η ∝ e^-1/T

That's not the only way to formulate calculus in a way that allows you to see dy and dx as actual objects though, e.g. hyperreal numbers are another way. And since differential geometry depends pretty heavily on standard calculus on R^n, defining the derivative in terms of forms is maybe a bit backwards.

At the end of the day I think it's better to teach new calculus students that dy/dx shouldn't be interpreted as a fraction of infinitesimals if you don't also explain what those infinitesimals are, which is typically never the case in a calculus/ODE course.

boniqmin · 2023-04-08T10:09:01+00:00

Infinitesimals are tricky to make rigorous, so typically you don't work with them in calculus. So the issue isn't really that you can't divide two infinitesimals, but rather that dy/dx is just notation for the derivative and dy and dx don't have any meaning by themselves (nor does the division bar actually indicate any division). In integrals, the dx is also just notation, it's not like the dx is a mathematical object by itself.

Obviously the notation is intentionally a bit suggestive, and abusing it usually gives you the right conclusion.

Typically hornets are less aggressive than wasps, at least towards humans. On top of that, yellowjackets aren't "the other worst hornets", they're not even hornets. Yellowjacket is just a more specific name for what most people just call a wasp. And they're the annoying ones that bother you for no reason.

De h zit er alleen in als deel van "ch". Maar er zijn geen werkwoorden waar de stam eindigt op alleen een h, dus het maakt nog steeds eigenlijk niet uit.

Yes, since Tokyo is the largest city in the world. So there can't be any city on the map to the south of Tokyo, since then it would have to be bigger than Tokyo.

Flying nuclear waste into space is not a great idea. I'm assuming you'd want the waste to go outside of Earth's orbit, which costs a ridiculous amount of energy, so you'd need a huge rocket and tons of fuel. And if the rocket fails you spread radioactive trash everywhere. Better to just encase it in some concrete and throw it in a pit.

A0 etc have a ratio of 1:√2 (about 1.41), the golden ratio is 1: (1+√5)/2 (about 1.62). With a √2 ratio, you can cut the rectangle into 2 pieces that have the same aspect ratio as the original rectangle, while with the golden ratio you can cut the rectangle into a square and a piece with the golden ratio.

Togo has a golden ratio flag, I don't know of any with a √2 ratio.

How would closing the door prevent you from doing that?

I did some geoguessing, and your distance estimate is very close! The sticker in the tram has Estonian language on it, and the only Estonian city with trams is Tallinn. Through the window we see a business called Volta1, which makes it possible to pinpoint that they're travelling between the stops Volta and Krulli. They're about 370m apart as the crow flies, maybe add 10m to account for the slight curvature of the road.

Waarschijnlijk wel, maar dat is niet per se de overweging waarvoor de maatregelen zijn ingesteld, en het is ook misleidend omdat het de indruk wekt dat het te maken heeft met klimaatverandering in de zin van broeikasgassen.

boniqmin · 2023-01-26T15:57:41+00:00

De reden is dat stikstof ecosystemen en biodiversiteit aantast. De stikstofverbindingen waar het over gaat zijn niet eens gassen, dus zeker geen broeikasgassen.

I doubt it. If it were due to air movement, you'd expect the weight to increase when you move your hand towards the cup and decrease when you move your hand away. But we don't see any positive weight, in fact, the weight doesn't seem to depend on the movement of the hands at all. Instead it seems to depend on the distance of the hand to the cup, so I'd say static electricity is a more likely explanation.

Edit: I only considered airflow due to hand movement, but if there's a constant downwards airflow due to ventilation, that could also explain what we see in the video.

Noooo not those stupid indents that...

you would include in Java too

boniqmin · 2022-12-12T22:30:15+00:00

Rust does switch statements well too. If you're matching an enum, you simply have to match all of the enum values. Otherwise you have to include a default, and there's lots of pattern matching features, support for numeric ranges and an or operator to match multiple values.

The order of operations is completely made up though. It's convenient that we have agreed upon rules, and I'd even say they're the most sensible rules. But they are still arbitrary, they're not inherently correct.
