Only one of these things is rigorously defined. Since rigour is pretty central to mathematical proof, I'd say these are not alike at all.
- socmag 10y agoWhich one is that?
- socmag 10y agoSorry, yes that was this thing called "humor" again. /slapshand
- cjslep 10y agoIs this another attempt at contributing to the discussion by being "humorous"? Trying to be funny while attempting to explain the joke, and failing at both, should be sending a clear signal. We get it. Math has driven people nuts in the past. And others in that time period successfully joked solving those hard problems must be as easy as talking to the divine.
- socmag 10y agoWell CJSlep, your position is noted. Thank you for your excellent contribution to an otherwise humorous post that you felt didn't meet your personal bar. Meanwhile on Hacker News and even in this post people basically say "Shut the f*k up" all the time and the crowd goes wild. Violence is acceptable, humor is not. Apparently the universe has a sense of irony.
- self-diversity 10y agoNormally I wouldn't join a conversation this far gone, but I'm curious - are you defining words that you consider to be basically the same as "shut the fuck up" to be violence?
- socmag 10y agoNormally you don't join a conversation this far gone, but you are making an exception this time because you want to join in the beat up a user who made a joke and let's make him pay for it thread? Hi come on in! :) <-- Not violence
- socmag 10y agoUnfortunately the time for humor came and went with my first post, which was pretty tame. I apologize if good natured humor was not appreciated and then I'm finally told to "go see a shrink". Wow!
