That's a good point. I do remember doing problems related to extending formulae outside the radius of convergence in my final year before university, but I don't think it's fair to ask for proper complex analysis from 17-year

My bank has an option to send me a notification every time I'm charged for something. I've noticed several bills that were higher than they should have been "due to a technical error". I'm certain some companies rel

Fair point, I was basing my comment on what the curriculum expects of students, rather than the bleak reality.

Not only is this a sensible idea, it's also just a fancy way of running in an emulator like you would for another game. Now I'm wondering if you could put e.g. a Windows virus into a Gameboy game, such that if someone did the oppo

ζ(z)=0⇒-z/2∈ℕ ∨ Re(z)=1/2 i.e. if you apply the zeta function to a complex number, and you get zero, then that number must have been either a negative even integer or had a half as its real part. What could be simpler than that? T

A noble goal, but I'd be shocked if they manage to compete in the preservation realm against Good Old Piracy™.

Maybe we could use Vison Pro to recreate a visit to Xerox Parc in 1979 to inspire the current designers to use UI patterns that gave been working well for fifty years.

Remove it!? But that's the only evidence of something fishy! You shouldn't just silence an error without knowing how it came to be there.

Is it "negative" to identify shitty things as being shitty? I wouldn't necessarily blame the commenters for that.

Amazing as usual. I am always on the lookout for the classic sin of making it look like electromagnetic waves wiggle in space like a snake. I know it's convenient to glue the tangent space to the underlying physical space, but I think

int is larger than float, but list of floats is larger than list of ints Then again, if you're worried about any of the numbers in this article maybe you shouldn't be using Python at all. I joke, but please do at least use Numba o

In principle you can patch your binary to accept the old local version, though I don't remember ever getting it to work right. Anyway here it is for the brave or foolhardy, here's the gist: patchelf --set-interpreter /lib

Thanks for spelling it out. I had a feeling that's the point you were making, but that level of subtlety has a hard time getting through, even on highbrow hn. Hence I like to err on the side of spelling things out, especially since I&#

Do you know anything about the Nazis, other than that they are bad? They used Fraktur extensively before 1941 and it's closely associated with Nazi imagery. This is all explained in that link I posted. I prefer to think of Lie groups,

$21k for a 55-inch 4K is rough, but this thing must be super delicate because basic US shipping is $500. (Still cheaper than a Netflix subscription though.)
