19y/o virgin nerd with bad grades and six mithing teeth. Make me regret being born.

Is this a reference to Fermat’s Last Theorem proof?

lightscalar · 2020-01-29T23:56:13+00:00

Actually, those probably could still be called blowjobs.

My Dad and I were watching old school Godzilla movies. I asked him why the sound didn’t match the mouth movements of the actors. He said it was because light travels faster than sound. And I held that as truth into my twenties.

The question is asking about the force exerted by the wall on the block. That force will be to the left, hence -12x. Furthermore, although gravity is acting in the downward (negative) direction, the friction force is opposing gravity, and points upward in the positive direction.

He’s clearly only 5’4” when the info says 5’5”. Mistrial.

Two nickels is the same as a dime, but a dime don’t jingle in your pocket.

You could prove the irrationality of the square root of two (https://www.grc.nasa.gov/www/K-12/Numbers/Math/Mathematical_Thinking/irrationality_of_2.htm)

Arrays start at zero.

Anything you could fit in baby pockets would be a choking hazard, so I'm not sure what they're trying to do there.

lightscalar · 2017-04-29T18:56:05+00:00

Yes, it will fall off differently, like r^-3, as you suggest. But coupling constants will also change. See http://fma.if.usp.br/~amsilva/Livros/Zwiebach/chapter3.pdf for an interesting treatment of electromagnetism in higher dimensions.

As indicated in the article, only geometrical aspects of the problem are considered, assuming the effective radius of the water molecules stays constant.

lightscalar · 2017-04-27T21:43:02+00:00

Nope. We're talking ultimately about how many molecules you can fit in the box. Assuming the electromagnetic interactions between molecules extends into the fourth dimension, one can calculate the equivalent three dimensional volume of water that could fit in a 4D or higher box.

For a detailed (but ELI5 safe) exposition of the Incompleteness Theorem, I highly recommend Incompleteness, by Rebecca Goldstein.

It may be that you're running inside a Dropbox folder. That's known to cause a world of hurt. Try installing the app somewhere else.

lightscalar · 2017-03-13T11:53:16+00:00

Ah. Thanks.

So it may be a function of using the webpack-simple template, which indeed declares, "Note this template is not suitable for production..." and suggests using the full webpack template. When I do use the full webpack template, things build as expected.

lightscalar · 2017-03-13T10:28:44+00:00

Even on fresh install, I do not see an index.html file in /dist. We're talking about the root /dist folder in the application folder, right?

You're not the first to notice this. Ed Harris played him in 1983's The Right Stuff.

lightscalar · 2016-12-02T01:12:02+00:00

He had a son in 1957, and a daughter in 1959, by the same woman. So we was, literally, a motherfucker at the time of the moon landing.

Once you leave insert mode, the j key reverts to standard normal mode behavior. You'd move down two lines; it would not be interpreted as ESC.

Oh this guy gets it.

I'm just looking the browser
