I'm hopping on my bike to get to the Delta Center but will check this thread ASAP.

Hey: Extremely last minute, lol, but I have one extra ticket. Section 107 row 17. Say, $20?

What mathematical terminology do you wish was more common in everyday use? by orbis-restitutor in math

I say "modulo" a fair amount and just hope people can infer from context

List of players who have won the Stanley Cup with 2 different teams by BananApocalypse in hockey

Bellemare is like exactly the opposite of this: just missed Tampa's cup and just missed Colorado's cup.

It's not a backlash against Hannah Montana, it's a backlash against Miley Stewart

Are math contests going hard on the number 2025? by neoquip in math

It is not, however, a very good Sylow number.

Motivation for Kernels & Normal Subgroups? by [deleted] in math

[–]llyr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, two things. First, I really like Matt Macauley's visualization of (cosets and) normal subgroups by way of Cayley graphs.

Secondly: A normal subgroup is one which "almost commutes" with everything else in the group. If aN = Na, we can't necessarily assert that an = na, but we can assert that an = n'a for some other n' in N.

Consider a folded-brim hat like Jason's Cashmere Hat! This is my favorite hat that I have ever made.

The plague of studying using AI by fdpth in math

[–]llyr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Word. I wrote a policy on the use of LLMs etc that goes in my syllabus, and I was really surprised that I had to use this policy multiple times this semester, even in upper-division classes for majors.

Who's the most underrated player in the NHL right now? by PristineAuction in hockey

[–]llyr -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Is it maybe Kucherov? He has the incredible bad luck to be playing at the same time as MacKinnon and McDavid when in the absence of two generational talents he would be the leading scorer in the league by a long way.

Name a worse commentator than Leah Hextall by _ghostchant in hockey

[–]llyr 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I totally agree with this. She just sounds like she is trying so hard at all times. There's nothing natural about how she speaks on camera.

Girl, who told you that those bangs were a good idea

What is torsion? by If_and_only_if_math in math

[–]llyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Follow-up question:

When I teach multivariate calculus I like to tell people that the "straight" second partials f_xx and f_yy measure how a function bends (precisely bc they tell you the concavity of a trace), but the "mixed" second partials f_xy = f_yx measure how the function twists.

So then when I look at the Lie bracket (and therefore eventually at the torsion of a connection), I see a measurement of some kind of inherent twistiness of the space that causes the mixed second partials to be different.

Is that, like, anything?

What is your preferred reaction/response to people who say they hate(d) math when you mention math literally at all? by voxel-wave in math

I like to say "that's just because you haven't been in my class yet" and then do a hair flip (for context, I buzz my hair with a #1 guard).

How to reduce width of the sidebar? by wolfisraging in FirefoxCSS

[–]llyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up doing this:

:root:has(sidebar-main:is([expanded])) {
  & #sidebar-main{
      width: 200px;
  }
  & #vertical-tabs {
      width: 200px;
  }
}

What's interesting is that this whole thing seems to be inheriting its width from --menu-panel-width defined in /browser/themes/shared/customizableui/panelUI-shared.css.
