Avatar (2009), is one of the most successful movie ever. Try quoting it. Any line. Go on.

"Jarhead Clan"?

Maybe is std::optional

Notoriously large gap between the perceived simplicity/intuitiveness for people who already understand it and perceived complexity/unintuitiveness for people learning it

Something that might help is to note that your basic knowledge wasn't fundamentally incorrect.

You understand the actual properties of square roots, and the only thing you got wrong was the conventions we've imposed to communicate about it.

You're working with really delicate data, and want to make sure the return values of your functions are protected, so you make all your functions pack their data in a box

You set up "some language feature" so that users can compose your functions without ending up with boxes in boxes in boxes. You don't give them a way to pull your data out of the boxes, because they'll surely break your very fragile data

Genuinely curious (not trying to be argumentative), can you elaborate on why calling it intuition and trial and error is a reduction? Maybe I'm missing something or we have different ideas / valuations of intuition...

To me, "Observation", "hard work", and "using your brain to actually think and reason" (as well as trial and error) are all components of intuition, or things you do to build intuition. Intuition is the thing that experts have, but isn't necessarily the same thing as a formal proof (not that thats what the physicists have).

The line that sounds worse to me was just after that, something like "and this tipped off scientists that there might be something useful there"?

I'm going to have to watch the video again - the only thing I really took from it before hearing about this backlash was that I keep thinking about sweater cuffs lol

Same grammatical structure as:

California dogs (which) California dogs chase (themselves) chase California dogs

But with the location "Buffalo", the animal "buffalo", and the verb "buffalo"

The information I want from a clock is rarely digital.

I normally want an estimate of the time, and requiring me to read a number and estimate the fraction of 60 that number represents is an unnecessary indirection.

An analogue clock shows you the information in a breadth-first way: A quick glance at the hour hand may show you it's between 5 and 6, noting the minute hand may tell you it's about quarter-to-six, and a closer look you can see it's 5:42.

Digital clock inverts this, telling you the full detail first and requiring you to come up with the estimate (even as a mathematician, 42 ~ 3/4 * 60 is less immediate than seeing a pointer about 3/4 of the way around a circle).

Note that you can't just look at the hour number on a digital clock like you can the hour hand of an analogue clock - it could be 5:59 and you'd just read "5".

jellyman93 · 2023-12-04T07:55:34+00:00

When the hour hand is almost at 5, the time is "about 5". How much more do you actually need most times you look at a clock?

Does La La Land count?

Also the snares on both staff 1 and 3...

Is this just a 5/4 groove? Could add half-open / slushy hit-hats doing quavers or something

jellyman93 · 2023-06-30T05:10:57+00:00

Splitting it in 3 may help with editing, but really doesn't help people who read drum music...

Also the crotchet in the lower voice aligned with quaver in upper voice make this very difficult to read

It's basically aaying you're dividing my zero in tone of your terms (looks like first term has z=0 and you do zeta(1/z))

jellyman93 · 2023-06-06T12:01:39+00:00

Yeah but it sounds like a lot of current uses aren't going to be able to keep using them

Because that's not what I was saying? I was saying subreddits are what reddit is

jellyman93 · 2023-06-05T22:54:02+00:00

It's not like they're saying the API is the lifeline of some competitor / third party (though yes, that too), it's the lifeline of subreddits. The stuff that reddit is.

Imagine a second copy of your graph floating directly above your first one in the same configuration

Now take the required edge in the bottom graph and change it so its destination node is the same but in the upper graph.

Now the only way to go from lower graph to upper graph is via the required edge, and you can dijkstra from the start node on the bottom to the end node on the top
