Considering we’re trying to find lengths, shouldn’t we be doing absolute value squared?

This in reply to a person who took more effort to write a program that wrote out the steps for inverting a matrix so they didn’t have to do the busy work of inverting a silly number of them? Kinda sounds like they prefer really understanding and challenging work to busy work is all.

Or the result of cost cutting…

It’s crazy how different people are. The idea of sitting through a video to do something like this is so painful to me. Like I find it useful for physical things where seeing the motion can be helpful, but I still generally find doing things that way awful. Please, please, please just give me written instructions for things. Especially if I’m going to need to refer back to it a few times (e.g. there are multiple steps that take a bit of time).

Do VPNs make that feature kind of pointless? We can’t access most things from home without going through a VPN. Every where I’ve worked (and gone to school) was like that.

Does your RSVP have options for remote vs in person? My options are “accept”, “decline”, and “tentative.” If I want to tell someone I’m remote that day, it needs to be a separate message.

Caffeine is physically addictive. You get withdrawals if you’re addicted and stop cold turkey. It does vary person to person. But most people get a splitting headache.

That’s because they are. It’s just a socially acceptable drug addiction.

I found this video and I really wouldn’t be able to tell if it was just sound. I think I have like 2 categories I can reliably do for strings: bow or not.

If you’re counting black triangles, the first is 3.

Soundwise or visually? I can see the difference (big vs little) but I don’t think I could reliably pick out the sound between the two.

1×3+2 = 5

Sure you could claim it’s 5x, but why do that when the other rule you have already works?

If the first is only 1 triangle, I can’t see how the second would be anything but 3 triangles.

The Windows is not free. The OEMs pay a license fee and that cost is passed on to people buying those computers.

Introverts don’t not want social connection. They just prefer a smaller number of deeper connections. “You’re not people” is a common sentiment from introverts to their closest friends and family. Most introverts still have and enjoy social connection. They just prefer it in an intimate or chill setting to large groups.

Right? Grown ups can be trusted to get their work done without someone watching them all the time. It’s small children who need constant supervision.

In exchange, Microsoft can give them some special access or special keys or some backdoor.

They might be doing this. The thing is, putting something like that in makes so much more likely you’ll accidentally create an exploit for other actors as well. It’s why security experts are so against backdoors. They fundamentally compromise security.

All eggs sold in stores in the US are pre-washed. It’s why they need to be refrigerated, unlike most other places.

I think absent bowel sounds generally means no shitting. Bowels are apparently pretty noisy when they’re digesting.

The presented scenario was comparing not forgiving loans to not releasing people for drug convictions. I don’t see how you can say going into debt for an education was a poorer choice than risking a conviction and jail time for weed.
