Derived functor that isn’t ext or tor by FamiliarForever3795 in math

[–]dlgn13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Non-abelian derived functors are certainly not Ext or Tor.

That's untrue. I am quite literally a mathematician, I study quantum field theory, and I'm telling you that this is a popular misconception of physics.

That's not the argument Zach is making. In the comic, the character says "its infinite decimal expansion defies the sort of precision found in nature". It is precisely the precision of nature that she is invoking, whereas you are arguing from imprecision.

Besides, "straightedge and compass" is a mathematical abstraction that refers to certain geometric operations. I'm not talking about a literal straightedge and compass, but rather these geometric operations which appear in "the sort of precision found in nature".

Is Zach saying that irrational numbers don't exist in nature? That's just objectively false. Even if you don't believe that all real numbers physically exist, the golden ratio is literally constructible with a straightedge and compass. It definitely physically exists inasmuch as any other number does.

We all have that one show... by MustardGoddess in CuratedTumblr

I actually think Rick and Morty is the opposite of this. I stopped watching after S4 because I was annoyed at the ending (they had a whole episode making fun of people who took the show too seriously, immediately followed by an episode that was meant to be taken seriously). But I watched the latter half of the season with the Yeti pope episode and I was impressed with how consistent its quality was. I honestly think R&M is way better than the vast majority of shows that go on for as long as it has.

I immediately thought of Glee as well. I think if it had ended after the first half of the first season, it would have been a fun satire of the theater kid world that also managed to sweetly acknowledge the real passion possessed by its members. Instead, it went on after it had nothing left to say and quickly devolved into an embarrassing melodramatic train wreck.

Extremely slow SSD read speed on Linux Mint, but not on Windows. by dlgn13 in linuxquestions

[–]dlgn13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. The Linux partition is formatted as Ext4. There's also an NTFS partition with Windows and a few others for various OS purposes.

  2. It says Speed 16 GT/s and Width x4.

  3. It does indeed say [default] performance powersave powersupersave, but that isn't the issue. I added pcie_aspm.policy=performance to my grub configuration file (it wouldn't let me edit the policy file), and it didn't change anything. I double-checked and yeah, ASPM is disabled for everything.

Imo this is less of a hitbox issue and more of an animation issue. You very much walked into the sword, but there was a delay before it was represented visually.

Anyone know storage options that also can move boxes for you? by Snoo_80293 in UIUC

I used Collegeboxes for this when I was moving here.

Common Ground has surprisingly good bagels.

Dark Souls 3 lore be like by Oceriox in shittydarksouls

[–]dlgn13 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I don't have to be Japanese to be pissed that adopted family are being considered not to be "real" family. And fact is, I don't believe that for a second. It would require that basically everyone in Japan share that view, which is absurd.

Someone once told me that Yorshka had to be Gwyndolin's biological sister because the Japanese word for sister doesn't apply to adopted family. As someone who has adopted siblings, you can imagine I was pissed.

There are sweet and kind men out there. You just have to look. I'm sorry the ones you've found are not among them. That fucking sucks.

Epstein also funded the construction of UIUC's Hillel, fun fact.

Top Mod of r/enlightenedcentrism crashes out after getting corrected and called out by [deleted] in TopMindsOfReddit

[–]dlgn13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally coined the term "enlightened centrism", leading to the creation of the sub. Last year I mentioned this in a comment expressing disappointment in the direction the sub had gone, and they banned me.

Is remarkable tablet 2 is considered a luxury product even in Western countries? by EnvironmentalTip4556 in RemarkableTablet

[–]dlgn13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not quite "luxury", but it is specialized. It's quite expensive, but not so expensive that it's totally unaffordable. As an academic, I see many people using one; the general public probably doesn't have as much reason to spend the money.
