I haven't had that experience for a single job that I ever applied to. Always sent in PDFs without any issues.

It's not that I think my tastes in music are objectively better, it's that I strongly feel that music is a very personal matter for many people and there will be enough people who will seek out different forms of music than what i

Thankfully, art is not about the least common denominator and I'm confident that there will continue to be music played live as long as humanity exists.

Also, Estonia is closest to Finland, which makes sense since the languages are close.

I think the better way for me would be to form some (really, any) kind of association to more African countries, most of which are a total blur to me. Most other countries I could say something about. It doesn't help that most of Afric

I got 128, which I guess isn't too bad. I'm just totally hopeless when it comes to most of Africa, and there's just way too many small island states.

Black tea contains caffeine and large amounts of caffeine are probably not very healthy. I assume he must have built up quite a tolerance but I would be on edge all day after such an amount.

Not sure that there is anything interesting to be drawn from a singular anecdote that includes no conclusive medical analysis, but regardless of the type or brand of tea, drinking 4 liters of black tea per day doesn't exactly strike me

> if time and space are both discrete my mistake - that should have read "are both continuous".
825.
by Tainnor 3y ago
Not nonsense. The argument goes that if time and space are both discrete, then to move from A to B in finite time means that you have to perform infinitely many actions in finite time. Zeno didn't believe that the latter was possible.

Spotify's shuffle is hilariously bad though (to the point that there exist outside tools to pre-shuffle your playlists). I see that article more as an "excuse" for their bad engineering. I'm sure there are people who wil

Christian theology is heavily influenced by Plato and especially Aristotle, so what you wrote is self-contradictory. I don't know where you live but it's almost impossible to overstate the significance of Plato on Western thought.

Your joke is in good taste (!) but slightly tainted by the fact that Girls Just Wanna Have Fun is by Cindy Lauper, not ABBA.

You may have learned this in 5th or 6th grade, but I certainly didn't. The point is that any working mathematician is comfortable manipulating sets in algebraic expressions and that's not something you expect from your average hig

Not every mathematician needs to understand axiomatic set theory, but probably every working mathematician needs to understand at least basic set operations, simple identites like De Morgan's laws (I don't care if you know the nam

To this day, I fail to understand why some people cannot enjoy constructive mathematics or practical engineering without shitting on traditional maths or CS. The "runtime on real data" thing is a trope by now, an algorithm that is

My point is simply that groupthink can vary a lot, from Pro-Israel to Pro-Palestine - it's just a hugely polarising topic.
