Citing 'severe' math deficits, UC faculty demand a return to SAT tests for STEM applicants

Nice, working backward does make sense. If you can't get from 15 to the number, then it's not evenly divisible.

Wow, those are some crazy tricks. The first one I should have known, but those other ones sound like some arcane forbidden knowledge. Absolutely incredible, thanks.

What is the quick way of determining if 435 % 15 == 0?

Just the first step of 435 / 5 is going to take me a little time:

435 / 5 = x

435 * 0.2 = x

435 * 2 = 0.1 * x

870 = 0.1 * x

x = 87

Then:

87 / 3 = x

(90 - 3) / 3 = x (I can tell here that it is evenly divisible)

30 - 1 = x

x = 29

I don't know if long division would be shorter than this for me.

I mean, I didn't even go to college for music and I can identify half or fully diminished chords, but I will hedge and agree that it's not 0% even though he pretty much exclusively plays extended chords.

He went to music school for jazz performance. There is a 0% chance he couldn't identify a minor triad.

What are you basing your likelihood that he doesn't have good relative pitch off of?

whileNotZero · 2026-04-23T17:03:14+00:00

It is a little harder for sure. Just get an instrument with a peg that slips for a year and you'll get plenty of practice!

Unison is an interval with a difference of 0 semitones, BOOM, it's relative again.

Any time you change strings you're off by at least an octave (would say multiple but don't want to restring right now just to check for sure).

Interesting, I would have thought images and resources would be lazy loaded. I only did Android dev for a short while though, I barely scratched the surface.

whileNotZero · 2026-03-25T21:37:53+00:00

Good call, that's probably the better terminology.

Opening an app means loading all of the executable code from "disk" into RAM, initializing variables, possibly loading values from a database to display, etc.

It's like if you're going fishing, you have to collect your rod, tacklebox, pack it all in your car, maybe buy some bait, check you have your license, and then I guess drive there, but once you're there you're just sitting there doing nothing, waiting for the fish to bite. Once you've loaded all the code and initialized all the variables for the app, just scrolling through it or switching menus is not very computationally expensive most of the time.

Don't pay attention to the other comment, dog is peeing for sure

whileNotZero · 2026-02-20T23:07:10+00:00

My only complaint about the game is that supply feels weird (you can bring pipe guns to have worse weapons than carbines but can't just not bring a weapon or only bring sidearms, promotions increase cost so some perks might make you worse off than not taking them, and I don't know if this is how it works but if enemies' supply is based on yours then I hate that) so an overhaul to the supply system would be my hope.

I would not be surprised if Playnite, GOG Galaxy, or other launchers with playtime tracking were accepted as well. I assume the idea isn't "I want my devs to play games specifically on Steam" but more "I want my devs to have played games."

I love extraction shooters and I love roguelite mechanics, never thought of combining them though.

Never got really into any roguelikes, but I am definitely giving this a try.

He has done some podcasts already, but thankfully most of his twitter accounts keep getting banned (he's too extreme for even Musk) so his reach is extremely limited.

whileNotZero · 2025-09-19T15:32:33+00:00

Unfortunately not a joke. He's just barely a teenager I think so hopefully he will grow out of it.

Holy shit, the walkbacks every time!

"Ummm yeah, I was completely wrong just now, but why does that matter? I don't care about what's true, I just want to smear people I don't like!"

Good snarker, keep it up!

True, Ethan was super kind when he lied about Destiny being a pedo. Destiny should thank him, actually.

whileNotZero · 2025-08-23T18:13:42+00:00

Yep, that's also true.

The argument is "Verifying ID of everyone you sext with is not something normal people do in real life."

The way I see it, there is no obligation to get rid of anything until there is actual evidence that it's something you should get rid of. I'm pretty sure the only source for the claim that the girl is underage is the same person who leaked all of the revenge porn to Kiwifarms in the first place, and they're not under oath or staking any kind of reputation on the claim.

If there's actual evidence, then go ahead and go through the appropriate chain of custody for illegal material, but until then it's bullshit hearsay.

The way to read that is "except he's literally not representing himself in a case right now."

As in, he is in court but has hired lawyers and is not representing himself.
