This isn’t unusual. I don’t use Reddit often and have seen it out several times this year, which says a lot.

Does this also unlink the comments from your profile? I see that the README mentions a distinction between edits and deletions. But it’s not super clear without examining the code. From what I’ve seen, only mods can permanently delete com

1. I was being facetious. I don’t care about the use of the word “mysterious” in the title. I just wanted to insert my joke about people who are nitpicky about article titles in cases when it honestly doesn’t matter such as this one. (Maybe

Sapiens according to the first sentence (i.e. “modern humans”) in the CNN article. (Although, this is what most people assume anyway when seeing the word “humans”.) Interestingly and headline-related, the species isn’t that mysterious as

Interesting that the CEO is doing an AMA this Friday to discuss the API. It seems a bit strange to advertise this using a system-wide notification. I imagine most users don’t care.

I’m not too familiar with Indian education systems. Does anyone have an idea if and how this would affect future JEE exams? I’m specifically referring to the removal of the periodic table for students under 16 years old. Also, maybe I misse

Your comment is giving early 2010s hipster “you probably never heard of it” vibes.

Your explanation fell flat. It didn’t land. It’s not sticking.

No one said it was just the Germans. But it is well-documented that the Germans distributed amphetamines on a mass scale which had harmful effects. The US did not distribute on a mass scale.

“Its even easier now with the websites that do it.” Ha. I just tried this and was told I didn’t score high enough on their assessment, mainly due to not having issues as a child in school. For some reason, saying “school was easy for me bec

idk. This was common knowledge/advice when I first worked with Rails professionally on a startup-size team over a decade ago. The writer says “That’s when people jump to googling ‘how to autoload lib/‘. Don’t do it! lib/ shou

Yeah, I see that now. Instead of italicizing the word “were” to place emphasis like you did, OP italicized most of the quote and not the word that needed emphasis. Ha. For this reason, I thought his “ATM clout” statement meant the opposite

The present tense is fine in this case. The author means “composed of” and “consists of” are better phrases to use in general (i.e. according to style guides), not were better phrases exclusively for use on his Wikipedia project. We know th

So funny. It’s also hilarious that the users are using the term “skeet”. (Interestingly and semi-related, a TechCrunch article said that Bluesky needs sex workers and Black Twitter in order to thrive.)

Yeah, in college I’ve worked with step/unit functions in both my “differential equations” and “signal and systems” classes for sure. But it never occurred to me and it was never presented by professors or TAs that they were essentially

No. I think the term “function” is overloaded here. My point was that I viewed it solely as a _programming_ function and not a _mathematical_ function (even though it exists in math libraries), hence my last sentence “Of course, it makes se

I was aware of the floor function (and the corresponding ceiling function) since I’m a software engineer. But I wasn’t aware that you could graph it. It never came up in high school or college math. And I never thought about it. Of course,

I recall a similar exercise on my AP Calc exam from years ago. Instead of sketching the derivative based on the graph of a function, we had to sketch the function based on a table of data which described the function as well as its first an
