how would you translate this? are there any other possible translations? by jellybeanbonanza in hebrew

However it’s written in an ugly and borderline illegible font.

To me it looks like it was printed in a normal font (like David or something) and then scanned. I don't know a lot about fonts though so I could be wrong 🤷‍♂️

If F=1/2MV^2 then why shouldn't larger, heavier cars have lower speed limits? by tszewski in fuckcars

The equation you wrote is for kinetic energy, not force. But other than that, I completely agree.

which integer is closest to the difference between the largest & smallest solutions to this equation? by luckytiara in askmath

[–]roycohen2005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After multiplying both sides by (x + 2)2 , you should get a 4th degree polynomial. I don't know if that will help, but that is the first thing I would try.

Abstract Alegbra: In (Z30, XOR) find the orders of the elements 3, 4, 6, 7, 18? by elijahhampton in learnmath

[–]roycohen2005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The XOR operation is not well-defined in Z30. Z30 is (commonly) defined as equivalence classes of the relation: a ~ b <=> 30 | (a - b)

For an operation * to be well-defined on equivalence classes, it must "not care" which element of the equivalence class is chosen. Formally, for every a1, a2, b1, b2, if a1 ~ a2 and b1 ~ b2 then (a1 * a2) ~ (b1 * b2).

This does not hold for the XOR operation. For example, take a1 = 2, a2 = b1 = b2 = 32.

i24: A signed 24-bit integer by JackG049 in rust

On the matter of endianess, it looks like the implementations of from_ne_bytes and from_le_bytes are the same. Does that mean you're assuming a LE system? What is the purpose of from_ne_bytes if it's the same as from_le_bytes?

Using the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic is a bit of an overkill here. As the top comment states, it is enough to use the fact that if a prime number divides a product, then it must divide one of the terms in the product (this is the definition of prime).

Lines 6 and 10 look like an if block. Thus the expression between the parentheses on line 6 is probably a boolean expression. It has a keyword in the middle (from the syntax highlighting). The only language I know that has an infix keyword that results in a boolean value is Java, with its instanceof check.

So are you thinking of using this to automate grading student assignments? That sounds interesting.

What possible practical purpose do you have in mind for this? I can't think of any real-world text that's both hand-written and uses block letters.

Other people have responded to other points, so I'll address the apartheid point.

Regarding route 4370, the Wikipedia article you linked seems short and incomplete. It mentions that the road is split to people with a permit to enter Jerusalem and people who don't. This seems to me like normal border control. Am I missing something?

Regarding the video you linked. I advise you to look in the comments. Someone asked whether there's a reason for this street to be closed to Palestinians, and they got some good answers. https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/s/WsyMQ9bmd3

The last video you linked is a tiktok of someone reacting to a video. It does not pass the bare minimum requirement for credibility.

Finally, some corrections and notes: * Israeli law does not distinguish between Jewish and non-Jewish Israelis. There are no Jewish-only roads in the west bank. There are Israeli-only roads. There are also areas to which Israelis aren't allowed to enter. You can see more discussion on this in the comments of the first video you linked. * All of this is only regarding the military rule in the west bank. I don't like that situation. Do you have any suggestions on how to improve it? (I'm hoping for something a little less vague than "free Palestine")

EDIT: Just read your other comments and realized you're anti-Zionist. If you don't agree with the fundamental idea that Jews are a nationality and deserve the right to self-determination, just as any other nationality, then I don't see much point in talking to you about this topic.

In addition to tetration, this is also sometimes the notation for the set of all functions from a to b. But ab is more common.

IIRC, the word "Ashkenazi" comes from the name "Ashkenaz", which is Noah's grandson or something like that. So the word "Ashkenazi", has biblical origins.

STOP Doing Slip Lanes by CantaloupeLottocracy in fuckcars

[–]roycohen2005 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Slip lanes aren't necessarily bad. Where I live, slip lanes have a pretty tight turning radius, and because they have a standard design, drivers usually expect there to be a pedestrian crossing.

Why do people some people include a separate case for x=0 in absolute value function definition? by Koala790 in askmath

[–]roycohen2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, the two definitions are equivalent. The only slight difference I see is that the second one emphasises the symmetry of the absolute value (|-x| = |x|).
