I'm sure it does, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt even though the article makes no mention of Quaternions. My point is, using Quaternions for physical devices is using a hammer on a screw. Huge mistake, but it can be done b

Guys I work at a company that uses Quaternions for rotations of physical objects. PTUs we call them (Pan Tilt Units). I am telling you Quaternions have HUGE issues. These issues become much more apparent when you deal with physical objects.

No, the viewpoint I present is the psychopathic viewpoint. An impassioned analysis disregarding responsibility completely as a non-issue. Not even trying to pass it off. Responsibility is not the domain of logic and science and this is the

There's no doubt "value engineering" occurs. Your claim is that early obsolescence is not planned but rather a side effect of value engineering. There's nothing in the universe that stops a feature that meets a design go

by neonological 5y ago
Most people aren't even aware of planned obsolescence. There's also very little data on how much of this actually happening as no company will admit to this practice. So really no one can make a statement on whether it's comm

Your logic doesn't make sense for why socketed fuses even exist. So why do cars have socketed fuses then? Do cars have unexpected loads? Not nearly as much as houses. Cars have socketed fuses same as houses because fuses are designed t

>So, the end result of having a soldered fuse was exactly the same as a socketed one: it was successfully repaired. I don’t see the justification for the extra BOM item. You joking? You realize houses and cars have socketed fuses that ca

These features do matter to consumers. What consumer wouldn't want a vac that can be fixed easily by putting a new fuse in a socket? The issue is the consumer doesn't know about this possible fix. The Company Engineers this fact i

The cost is negligible, mere cents. A decision such as this is indeed done to deliberately shorten the life span.

I hate this voting thing. People are quick to judge and It leaves no room for respectful disagreement and drives people away. How do I tell someone that I value his input even though I respectfully disagree? It's pretty much impossible

Good find. My post is voted down, but this authoritative source is literally saying the same exact thing.

Feels arbitrary. You don't group oil painting with mechanical engineering why group Math with Beauty? This isko organization... if they do indeed follow pierce is incredibly strange. Case in point: https://www.isko.org/

Domain related applications aren't what's studied by "Computer Scientists." You will note that most people who do "domain related" applications call them selves Software developers, Software engineers, etc. etc

I'm curious how did mathematics miss out on the word "science." The meaning of the word "scientist" is consistent with how it's not ascribed to a mathematician as mathematicians don't do anything related t

by neonological 5y ago
Biology is consistent with science in the sense that there exists people called scientists in biology that do experiments utilizing the scientific method. In math everything is purely theoretical conjecture. No hypothesizes, no testing, no

Did you just group Logic and aesthetics together into one thing? Beauty and ethics are subjective. Logic is not. Either way following this definition of "normative science" neither logic nor computer science nor math goes under it
54.
by neonological 5y ago
But the inconsistency still exists regardless of the historical etymology. Math is not a science. A mathematician is Not a scientist. Why is computing a science?
55.
by neonological 5y ago
It's technically not even a science. It's in the realm of logic and maths. After all we don't call algebra a science, why does computing all of sudden need the word? So to some it all up: computer science is neither about com

No it's not. It's not that easy. It's actually hard and annoying to evict someone. You can stay in an apartment for months in California while paying no rent.
