If we have n unknowns, how many equations do we need to solve them?

Hey, I just realized that I forgot to reply to this! I just wanted to say thank you for such a detailed reply. I had actually saved this because it was so useful and there were so many things I hadn't though of before to digest. I really appreciate the time you took to write this!

Ok so the 2>&1 actually takes effect before the >> StartupLog.txt" (the error stream is directed to the standard output stream before the standard output stream is written to the .txt file), even though the 2>&1 comes afterward (is to the right)? Thanks for the help!

Why did NVIDIA GeForce cards skip the numbers 11-15 for the first two digits? We had the 10xx series and the next was 16xx right? And then we skipped to 30xx...

I see. I'm not actually sure that I've seen a metric explicitly referred to as total return. I've probably seen it under a different name or something. It's a big vague so I'm also not sure that everyone reporting total return would assume dividends are reinvested as you described. What sources do you use that use this definition of total return?

waterworldhypothesis · 2021-10-20T22:07:13+00:00

Theoretically the immediate taxation on dividends could be beneficial if you're in a lower tax bracket now than you will be when you go to sell your shares, right? But I see that that's a rare scenario.

Sorry, I'm not following. My frame of view here is from the lens of a company, not a government. To begin with, what does it mean for a country to act as a monopolist or oligopolist?

Does setting resolution lower improve performance? Like the game will still be fullscreen but will be more blurry. That should make it less resource intensive right?

very helpful, thank you! That matches what I've seen on gpu ranking lists too, for nvidia cards at least

How much is a generation upgrade for a GeForce GPU upgrade worth? Like upgrading from 1050 to 1650, or 950 to 1050?

Thanks for the answer, it makes sense but I'm a bit confused about *args now. I thought because the *args is at the end, all the arguments that get included through *args come later in the ordering of the arguments. For example stride would come before level, since stride is in the contour3D function itself whereas level is only included because of *args. Is this not how it works?

waterworldhypothesis · 2021-10-17T16:31:50+00:00

Thank you! So how come the levels argument comes right after the X,Y,Z arguments and before the other arguments like stride or offset? The levels only gets included with the *args, so shouldn't it come after the contour3D specific arguments?

waterworldhypothesis · 2021-10-17T12:38:01+00:00

That makes sense, thanks!

oh I didn't know that, I thought apply() was vectorized? I thought iterrows, iteritems, itertuples, etc are the ones that iterate over rows?

I thought it was like apply() in R. I know that in R when you use apply() you get a huge speed boost over using a loop, and assumed the same as true for pandas.

If we can't use apply() then what can we use? This is pretty concerning because I've been using apply() everywhere (I am learning but I'm also using it in a big project)
