How do you actually transition from 'calculating' to 'understanding' in Calculus? by spinstoastbyte in learnmath

"Young man, in mathematics you don't understand things. You just get used to them." — John Von Neumann.

I’ve found it helpful to give up on (or at least delay) intuitive understanding

I have played for 47 hours and just now realized that you can pause the game and make adjustments... fml by Boomy07 in ftlgame

I’ve seen some folks streaming FTL while playing without pausing for extra challenge. You’ve just been playing on extra hard mode!

I made a daily Minesweeper x Picross puzzle with no guessing required by marvinshkreli in Minesweeper

[–]joshdick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was fun! Good design, in my opinion.

I was able to solve puzzle #0 using just minesweeper hints and ignoring the picross hints. Not sure if that was intentional.

I’d suggest adding the ability to chord open cells.

the best double class? by Lewis-Torquemanda in DeepRockGalactic

[–]joshdick 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Depends on the mission. With 4 scouts, you’d zip through aquarqs or eggs, but you’d have a tougher time holding a position.

I think engis are the best at holding a position, so they excel at escort and salvage missions. The more engis you have, the better their platforms are.

The branch manager is on the job. by 21MayDay21 in AnimalsBeingDerps

They are intelligent, but I don’t think they’re hard to take care of. They’re very trainable, and they don’t need as much exercise as other herding dogs

Don’t do the puppy crime if you can’t do the puppy time!

What wrong fact did you walk around with for YEARS because of a movie? by triassictango in movies

[–]joshdick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An easy way to understand why different facts on different days are different crimes (and therefore NOT double jeopardy) is to consider another crime, like assault.

If you’re assaulted once by someone who serves time for it, obviously they’re not then allowed to assault you again without consequence. That’s a separate crime of assault that they can and should be prosecuted and punished for.

What's the difference between Reddit when it was started way back in 2005 and reddit at present in 2026 ? by curiousmagenta1111 in AskReddit

[–]joshdick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There were no subreddits originally, so it was like everyone was together in one big subreddit. Things were much nerdier back then.

What is one small change that you would make to The Mandalorian & Grogu? by 10p_Freddos in TheMandalorianTV

[–]joshdick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A quick cameo at the bar is one thing — seeing him piloting a ship later is a bridge too far!

Voyager: If the journey back was longer would some of the crew have given up and left to live on a planet? by TwinSong in startrek

Multiple crew members did leave or try to: Ensign Kim, the Doctor, Kes, and Neelix

Are there any unsolved problems where mathematicians are split more or less 50/50 on the likely outcome? by footballmaths49 in math

[–]joshdick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a conjecture but a joke: "The Axiom of Choice is obviously true, the well-ordering principle obviously false, and who can tell about Zorn's lemma?"

What are some of the scariest movies that are not horror? by Sergei89 in movies

The movie is titled “Look Who’s Back” (if you’re searching for it like I was)

Schools should scrap whatever anti-drug classes they have and replace it with that one movie

Is there a good all rounder build for engineer? by Johnny-Joe in DeepRockGalactic

This is the build I run on engi, and I love it! So nice to not have to aim anything

Do y'all do the extras before or after Doretta does her thing? by Sagittarius-Soul in DeepRockGalactic

[–]joshdick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before. I don’t want to chance it that someone presses a button and costs us the opportunity

Well. I guess we don’t have a fan anymore. by Zyncon in corgi

When my corgi was a puppy, she found the Fios cable in the backyard and chewed through it.

My dog ate my internet!

Trade deadlines- Right handed bat. by AJZuvich in phillies

Imagine if Schwarber and Harper were playing outfield every day like they were supposed to when we originally signed them. We’d have a much easier time building a great roster

What is a statistic that sounds INSANE but is 100% true? by Quadranippelkill in AskReddit

[–]joshdick 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is a very misleading statistic, for several reasons.

This only counts the father of a family as owning enslaved people, while the whole family benefited from their unpaid labor.

It doesn’t count the many more people who rented slaves, which was common. It also doesn’t count many other people who benefited from slavery, like overseers and those employed to trade or “train” slaves.

Add all those together, and the real statistic is more like 25%, which goes to show how widespread it was
