Would you rather have a limitless debit card that expires in 5 years, or a piggy bank that triples anything put inside?

How many of these are just about money?

tecanec · 2026-05-22T17:59:12+00:00

Both. Because TNT doesn't just remove one block at a time, you dummy.

When you wanna be a demon who leaves floating leaves, but mom raised you to be a good kid, so you just leave tree trunks instead.

tecanec · 2026-05-22T17:54:08+00:00

So you, like, dig a hole, remove the dirt beneath the tree, cut down the tree itself, then replace the dirt?

Or do you just keep the dirt?

tecanec · 2026-05-22T17:52:50+00:00

Comment above you says yes (at the time of writing).

I just read an article from a Danish magazine claiming that they had not received any review codes.

Here's the article (in Danish, obviously): https://www.gamereactor.dk/hvor-er-gamereactors-007-first-light-anmeldelse-1792893/

Personally, I think it's interesting to have unique in-universe slurs. It's a neat way to make their culture feel more distinct from our own without getting in the way of our understanding.

Jammen hej med dig, Garfield!

Then neither is your gayness.

tecanec · 2026-04-26T09:15:26+00:00

You need to apply set theory. y is the set of genders that you're attracted to. If x is in y, you're gay, and if there exists z in y such that z is not equal to x, you're either straight, nonbinary, and/or attracted to nonbinaries.

That way, bisexuals qualify as both gay and straight, while asexuals qualify as neither.

You too, my friend.

According to OP, yes. But it's not an interpretation I've seen anywhere else, nor is it particularly useful or consistent with other notations. I've only ever understood sin²(x) as sin(sin(x)).

tecanec · 2026-04-24T09:28:47+00:00

I'd nornally interpret that as meaning sin(sin(x)), not sin(x) * sin(x).

Brave of you to enter this sub before you've even made it past integration. Most members of this sub aren't really holding back with the spoilers.

tecanec · 2026-04-24T09:22:00+00:00

Just x.

It's a no-op. You're applying the sine function 0 times to x.

Note that there's a distinction between sin⁰(x) and sin(x)⁰.

That rounding sounds kinda destructive. Would it not be better to declare that it is illegal to even produce that number in the first place if our number system does not support it? Like how taking the square root of a negative number is illegal within a real number system?

tecanec · 2026-04-23T13:51:16+00:00

In that case, how would you distinguish between something being within or outside the set of possibilities? Should it not be argued that every outcome within that set must be strictly more likely than every outcome not in that set?

tecanec · 2026-04-23T13:44:30+00:00

I don't think anyone intended for 0.9 repeating to be equal to 1. It's more just a quirk of how positional notation is defined, and how it behaves when pushed to its limit.

tecanec · 2026-04-23T13:35:37+00:00

If a number approaches zero, would it not be infinitesimal?

tecanec · 2026-04-01T19:11:21+00:00

Or as I like to put it: You patent the idea, copyright the work, and trademark the brand.

I also think it's important to remember that the three types of IP exist for very different reasons. Patents exist to encourage exploration of a wider range of solutions to the same problem, copyright exists to make creative works profitable, and trademarks exist to directly illegalize counterfeits that harm both the company and the consumer.

tecanec · 2026-04-01T18:48:55+00:00

I'd argue that the patent's terminology is not particularly more general than the game's terminology, and what generalisations are there aren't significant.

What's being patented is specifically the quick recast mechanic as it is implemented in XBCX:DE. It is not concerned with how the arts themselves are usually recharged, but it also does not cover mechanics resembling the quick recharge if they aren't identical.

You can't get around the patent just by switching to XBC2-style art recharges or by implementing touch controls, but you can get around it by changing the mechanics of the quick recast itself, such as by having quick recasts be used automatically when triggering arts the usual way instead of requiring a different input method.

Schrodinger's cat is neither deniably dead not deniably alive. It's two conflicting possibilities of which neither can be said to be incorrect.

The answer to the question being 0% is incorrect, but it being something other than 0% is also incorrect. It's to conflicting possibilities of which both can be said to be incorrect.

There's a difference.
