The effective interest rate should be calculated and then converted to the monthly rate: $$ \left( 1 + \frac{i_a}{n_a} \right)^{n_a} = \left( 1 + \frac{i_b}{n_b} \right)^{n_b} = \left( 1 + \frac{i_{\text{annual}} }{1} \right)^{1} $$ https:

I guess that's logical, still a bit tedious in converting values to scalars...

How does Numbat infer the type/unit for operations that involve transcendental functions like the trigonometric functions and the natural logarithm? How about for exponents that are not integers (rational or irrational)? I've seen

Neat, one more element to the "Rd" element group.

I'm bothered by the Rd symbol of Radon on the page, it's should be Rn. It makes me double-check if there's actually an element that's not Radium (Ra), not Radon (Rn), but also starts with an R and has a d in its name.

You could also go down the route of using shortcodes in Hugo (I think there is something similar as well for Jekyll?) and use the output HTML file as the input for a shortcode from data visualization libraries such as Vega-Altair (Python) o

Seconded. And it's not just programming. Any subject that is easy to moderately verifiable like most Math and Science in school can also benefit from this. We're one step closer to personal tutors and autodidactism for everyone. T

To add to the sibling comments, mastodon servers (or any other fediverse servers) are public and are searchable on the web (unless you really go out of your way to customize it to be private and not indexable). Meanwhile a private Reddit is

Paying is not an option for most people coming from free services like Twitter. It was not for me since I can't spend money on something frivolous like a Mastodon/Pleroma server. I've already tried deploying Pleroma on Fly.io

Sadly. Can such tendencies perhaps be remedied, or at least mitigated to some effective degree, over a large population by learning and practicing more critical thinking? I think it's simply a matter of habitualizing and getting better
