  • Conversing with Mathematicians

    Jump

  • I don't know enough to know how correct your pedantry is (technically or not), but to explain the meme it made sense to go through the symbols in the order you see them. I never got any points from the proof questions in exams anyway.

  • Conversing with Mathematicians

  • When all you have is an imaginary hammer, everything looks like a rotation around the imaginary unit circle.

    x = -10, i = √-1 so i² = -1 and 10i²=-10

  • Humble Games confirms layoffs amid 'restructuring', denies full shutdown | Old Title: Humble Bundle shuts down game publishing label

    Jump

  • Update: Humble has now provided a statement saying Humble Games hasn't been shut down, but just restructured.

  • Software to look for Duplicates

    Jump

  • Do you want something that runs on your NAS or from another computer? What OS(es) are you using?

  • Google is finally shutting down its link shortener after killing it off years ago

    Jump

  • I'm thinking more like using a CMS or Wordpress by people who don't consider themselves developers.

  • Mounting home demolitions and settler attacks plunge a Palestinian village into crisis

    Jump

  • In another video [...], young settlers are seen tampering with the village’s water pipes as soldiers look on. The military said soldiers helped repair the pipe soon after.

    They just let it happen but cared enough to fix it afterwards? This is the kind of excuse I'd expect from an eight-year old.

  • Cool guide to boiling a larger sized egg

    Jump

  • Also, is this starting from refrigerated eggs (USA-style) or room temperature (everyone's else)? I assume this makes less of a difference with your second method.

  • Google is finally shutting down its link shortener after killing it off years ago

    Jump

  • I wouldn't be surprised if there's some service that gave out shortened links by default and people just used those everywhere. Lots of people are clueless about how URLs work, and authoring HTML often means filling in a form.

  • Republicans wear ear bandages in 'solidarity' with Trump

    Jump

  • Reminds me of when courtiers would flatter their king. King too fat to do up his buttons? Undone buttons is now the fashion. King going bald? Everyone shaves their head.

  • Update to Canvas Stats web app and making user pixel images

    Jump

  • Webflow says 2TB of bandwidth is worth $1,250 per month

    Jump

  • [The customer] said that Webflow’s sales representatives were uncooperative when asked for more details. He quoted a sales rep saying, “No because you’ll tweet about it.”

    Wow, that says a lot about how Webflow views its own policies.

  • When I saw how low tongue was, I thought surely not, what about "she gave me a good tongue-lashing". I then thought about it for a microsecond more and realised the ranking's probably correct.

    How large would a city/base on the moon have to be in order to be visible with the unaided human eye from earth?

    Jump

  • How far should a programming language aware diff go?

    Jump

  • I'd agree, for the same reasons. Communicating intent is definitely one of the main things that separates mediocre from amazing developers (and software can't check that).

    It's interesting to consider a tool that does all of levels 1-3 (and more) as a way to verify that a style refactoring hasn't changed logic. I assume that's what they meant when they wrote "modifications that were supposed to be no-ops but aren’t".

  • A cool guide to styling a ponytail 👧

    Jump

  • The original is in Chinese, and the translation's worse than Google Translate managed when I just my point my phone at the screen.

  • Thanks to everyone who helped out on canvas!

    Jump

  • A Word About Private Attribution in Firefox

    Jump

  • Or perhaps we just have different opinions.

  • Suggestions for Canvas and future events!

  • You mean holding the scroll-wheel and dragging moves around, yes? (And the scroll-wheel was for zooming.) I think I'd accidentally triggered the colour picker accidentally, since I did find that I often had black when I was expecting something else - now I know why!
