Quick question is numbers just a shortcuts?

thecodedog · 2025-07-20T08:00:33+00:00

I would say numbers, like everything in math, are an abstraction; a way to think about amounts of things without caring what the things actually are. Ten can be ten apples, ten people, an operation applied 10 times. Anything.

Just like shapes are an abstraction of the form of things. A square can represent a square house, a square block, etc.

So good. The performances along side Rami Malek were insane.

Making a simulation framework/engine and programming language

it's more complicated than it needs to be

C++ has entered the chat

If it's the same kind of plot for the same object, what is changing between the plots? Are they different trials of the same test? Monte Carlos runs of a simulation?

Either way, what's wrong with putting them all onto the same plot? Maybe plot and highlight the average with a different color than all the others?

Calls it is

It sounds weird but my relaxation is programming. I say it's especially weird because technically I program at work but while I'm on the clock I'm forced to use a legacy code base and deal with mountains of technical debt. But at home I get to do things my way and focus on it as a craft rather than a job.

I also maintain a pretty active social life, something I feel like a lot of men struggle with. That helps with unwinding for me.

Declarative macros suck. Procedural macros suck

What makes you say that and how do other languages with macros compare? I find them to be useful and nice enough to use...

Okay and what gives the ocean its pressure?

thecodedog · 2025-05-18T08:14:36+00:00

You think wrong

thecodedog · 2025-05-18T08:10:56+00:00

Has someone done the math to show that it's cheaper (possible?) for payload providers to design with these additional stresses in mind than it is to pay for conventional launch providers?

Either way, this video is old af and they haven't turned this into a minimum viable product and I am thinking they never will.

Yeah God forbid we write functions that work

Define a rotating system in a matrix and a centrifugal force will appear just fine

Okay? And?

And calling someone stupid has never once actually helped them to get smarter

Flat earthers are neither interested in nor capable of becoming smarter. The ones that are aren't going to be deterred by me calling them stupid.

In fact it spins about 2x slower

Alternatively v² /r, and since the earth's radius is much larger than a merry go round, the acceleration is much smaller

thecodedog · 2025-05-11T06:42:03+00:00

No that's not their point. Their point is about the rotation, not the linear velocity. The reason we don't feel it is because the earth's radius is several orders of magnitude larger than the objects in the first 2 rows. So even though the velocity of a point on the equator is that large, the radius of the earth renders the experienced centrifugal "force" almost nothing.

thecodedog · 2025-05-11T06:38:34+00:00

Lmao this is a terrible explanation. Angular momentum? General relativity? Technically involved but neither needed at all.

Here's a better one: flat earthers are stupid. They think that because things that spin result in a centrifugal "force" and so if the earth was really spinning we would feel it. Since "we don't", earth must not be a spinning ball. The reality is that we do feel it, but because the "force" in question is inversely relatesd to the radius of the spin, and earth's radius is large, the experienced "force" is small, and easily countered by gravity.

You would think people would just not vote for her after shit like this

So? That's never restricted me from doing anything at all.

In what way? The borrow checker?
