There's a significant contingent of people who find typing numbers with the number row cumbersome (me included). If, for whatever reason, you need to type a lot of numbers, it can be quite inconvenient to not have a numpad.

Can someone explain the last paragraph? The author gives the example of trying to find a 70 Ohm resistor and how the 68 Ohm and 75 Ohm are a little off. They conclude by saying you should just use 33 and 47 Ohm resistors, but wouldn't

Isn't the crux of the article that they're observing less karma farming? I don't know if I agree with their data but they seem to be saying that it's getting better.

The article isn't about the new layout. It's about an apparent difference in the karma system that seems to de-prioritize content from karma farmers and content that comes from off of Reddit. For specific subreddits it's hard

It's not that mind-boggling. In general we need to use specific properties of numbers to prove whether they are irrational, and pi+e has very few useful properties to work from. Even proving pi is irrational is not trivial and it is on

It's not Tech Tangent I think. In the article he writes "some of the disk images [Tech Tangents] found at the HP Computer Museum" which implies to me that they're different people working on similar machines. Also Tech T

I just finished my math undergraduate program, and the class that I enjoyed most that you don't seem to have studied at all is topology. We used Munkres, which seems to be pretty standard as far as undergrad topology is concerned, and

This whole article is a mess. There are no details except that there will be a change to the payment model for advertising. The article just fearmongers about “emotion recognition” which it isn't even clear TikTok is trying to do. To m

At this point there isn't a compelling reason to switch for any party. The experience on Android vs. IOS isn't meaningfully different to me, and while I think Apple probably does a better job with privacy (which I personally value

I think ChatGPT will cause similar problems to those already experienced in STEM disciplines, particularly math. Students can use a camera based app on their phones that can do an entire worksheet in seconds, computer algebra systems are ba

Narrowly interpreting Godwin's law, it seems easy enough to design a chatbot to avoid references to Hitler outside of an appropriate context (like asking the chatbot to tell you about Hitler's response to D-Day). However, the more

I think the closest there is to a consensus among economists is that deficit spending is beneficial at least some of the time, especially during recessionary periods. An amendment that didn't allow any deficit spending would severely l

Unless there are more qualifiers, wouldn't any user be able to avoid being banned by simply running for any office? It's not particularly hard to run for office, it's only hard to be elected. I agree that discriminating on po

From an outsider's perspective it seems almost intuitive that market makers (the pros) make money off of retail (the amateurs). It's hard to imagine how that could not be the case.

I was under the impression that WSL2 runs on the actual hardware with only the hypervisor as overhead, and so it should run nearly as fast as the real thing. I haven't noticed particularly slow performance, but it could just be that I

Honestly a refundable deposit sounds like a reasonable option. Although I do wonder if it makes more sense to have some sort of permitting process if there are too many underprepared climbers.

I find that reading math at all is sometimes not the best approach. When working out of a textbook I often find it more constructive to attempt problems first and then use the text as a guide to help me solve the problem, particularly when

The treatment of female CS players is sickening. Every public lobby that I've been in where someone had an identifiably female voice eventually ended in harassment and sexist statements.

Linear Algebra Done Wrong would be my pick among texts I have worked with directly. It's probably not the easiest, but it is certainly workable. Linear Algebra Done Right is more rigorous, and it is a standard text that has easily acce

For analysis you can't go wrong with Rudin, especially if you already will have experience from Understanding Analysis. For graph theory I quite liked Diestel, but that may not be the best introductory text.

Mathematics has many subject areas that don't necessarily need to be learned in order. If you wanted you could start down the path of abstract algebra without almost any experience with analysis. Linear algebra is quite approachable an

For one images would put even more strain on the server (servers?) that HN runs on. Also, I fear that it would reduce the quality of the discussion, as at least on reddit, image posts seem to lead to repetitive and unproductive discussion.
