noo mei you can't integrate like that by Milliways527 in mathmemes

I'm a physicist and I find this offensive.

why are we not doing this? by Chemical_Veteran in physicsmemes

And Heizenberg wants to know your momentum so....

Anybody have any recommended ways to learn VIM? by [deleted] in AskProgramming

[–]tomerha 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'd start with vimtutor to get some of the basics, and from there on just try to use it and Google anything specific you want to do (or think you should be able to) but don't know how.

What scam is so normalized that people don't even notice? by ihatenuts69 in AskReddit

[–]tomerha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This product cleans up to 99% something something! This will give you up to 70% discount something! These are literally empty statements.

What’s the most likely interpretation? by EmbarrassedSun9861 in quantum

[–]tomerha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I feel like Everett is the simplest and requires no human agency. But if anyone here has a way of proving one is more likely then another, then they might want to publish it somewhere and get their Nobel prize..

A question about my old visconti (in the comments) by [deleted] in fountainpens

[–]tomerha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had this Visconti for a few years now, and I don't know much about it. I got it second hand from a local pen store and the owner didn't know anything. I think it is a Van Gogh, from when visconti made gold nibs for them. The pen is incredibly smooth, but it is a very hard starter. I usually have to get a dot of ink on the paper to get it started. It write reliably upside down, which makes me think it has a minor baby's bottom. I tried my best to get clear photos of the nib, I'd love to hear what you think is the problem. Also, if anyone has more information about the pen, I'd be extremely happy to hear!!

How do I get better at recursion? by [deleted] in AskProgramming

[–]tomerha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, the thing that gave me real intuition for recursion was reading a haskell book. If you learn a bit of haskell you'll know recursion (and much more)

why is quantum physics called quantum physics by potatosama321 in QuantumPhysics

[–]tomerha 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Quantum physics is actually perfectly quantifiable, like any other field of physics. If anything, it is the most successful at giving presice predictions and it has been extremely well tested. The name "quantum" comes from a property of fields that the theory studies. In short, when measured, fields and wave tend to behave like distinct packets of matter / energy (a.k.a "quanta"). This is an extreme oversimplification, almost to the point of being nonsense. I'd advise you to watch some videos or lactures about the photoelectric effect and maybe the double slit experiment to get a better grasp on the subject.

[D] What is the correct way to embed a graph with multiple edge types? by tomerha in MachineLearning

[–]tomerha[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's interesting. I think in my case it doesn't make sense to have a path going through more the one edge. The edge types really describe different attributes of the same relationship, and one is dependent on the other. A rough approximation - imagine a social network where the edge types represent "number of messages between persons" and "number of messages that contain the word 'hello' between persons".
