Oh wow, I'd forgotten all about Q.E.D. _Feels old_

Amazing :) I really should watch more of their videos, I'd forgotten how brilliant they are.

That looks great, thanks. One of the things that will help me re-learning is that I now have a much better understanding of how maths can help you answer questions and solve problems, rather than just working through rote exercises. I alway

by noneeeed 6y ago
Omg, thank you. Somehow I'd missed that setting.
515.
by noneeeed 6y ago
Yeah, I definitely think that will help. I've had the same experience when trying to get back into running. Knowing I used to run a lot makes it a lot easier getting started all over again.

Thank you! Btw, just thought I'd hijack this moment to say how much I appreciate the moderation work you do here, it's fine art, and HN seems to get it about right most of the time, which is all we can really ask.

That looks great, thanks so much for that. The professor Leonard channel looks perfect, especially as it starts at pre-algebra. I'm not sure what that covers, that was a long time ago, but it would be good to cover that again just to e

by noneeeed 6y ago
Yeah, I'm definitely up for doing that. I don't need to go back to fractions, but I think I'd like to start from the beginning of basic algebra. I figure that even if I know the material, the practice will help before I move

Doh! And of course I had the no-procrastination turned on and couldn't get back in until now.

Ask HN: How do I re-learn maths as a middle-age person?

As with Pavlov's comment about the memory this could be a yield thing. It may be that there are enough dies where one of the cores fails that it's worth turning them into a lower spec model as happened with the 486 SX all those ye

For me it hides the things I use all the time (media and volume controls) to make room for application specific controls that I never use. If it was more customisable I wouldn't mind it, but the apparant inability to force it to show m

Ikr? I saw him present this at a conference, you could almost hear the audience collectively recalibrating their self-image in light of this new data point.

I think it's the other way round. I think their standard policy is that basically everything is banned that could be seen as a political statement, so no maga hats or pride rainbows. So this was less a case of banning the poppy, as say

Thanks for the reminder. I read his book years ago and it really hit home. I should re-read it.

You're not wrong. I tried out our local library's app, holy crap it's terrible.

So glad I'm not the only one :) there was something weirdly nice about having your foot in one of those machines. Perhaps it was just the effect of going from a hot, probably somewhat uncomfortable show, to the cold metal and freedom.

This has been on my to-do list for too long. I need to do it this week. I also need to detach any accounts from using Google for signin. The next priority will be having a replica of my photo collection somewhere.

This has been the worst thing for me about suddenly working from home, the sudden loss of my daily commute and lunchtime walks that had a purpose and couldn't be skipped. It took me far too long to realise the damage this sudden reduct

I believe ITU patients often suffer from psychosis while in treatment and PTSD afterwards. Intensive medical intervention really can be incredibly traumatic for many, over and above the trauma of the illness or injury that put you in ITU.

Also, am I right that if you don't proactively enforce your trademark by taking action against others that you can potentially lose the right to it?

Yep, sprinting is the prime example. If an honest but genetically lucky and hard working sprinter came along today, there would be no way they could convince everyone that they were clean. Not getting caught doping is assumed to mean you ar

I've seen a lot of online conversations recently where the default assumption is that every Olympic sprinter, every cyclist or swimmet, basically every elite athlete is doping. It's pretty sad that we are in a world where you can

Well this brings back memories! I used LyX for all my work at university (over 20 years ago) and I vividly remember the difference in experience compared with my girlfriend at the time who used Word for all her work. LyX was such a stress-f

This is basically why I stopped using Twitter. Reading a dozen of my friends expressing basically the same thought at the same time, even though I agreed with it, was just getting tideous. In hindsight it took me way too long to realise how

I had no idea about that, thanks. I have Reddit totally blocked, but that always seemed excessive for HN.

Can anyone recommend a macOS equivalent. I almost never want to paste with style and the shortcut to do that is some ridiculous four key combination that I can never remember.

Yeah, I'm just thinking that dance seems less about the competition than gymnastics, so might be a healthier atmosphere. Our gymnastics club has a kind of parkour club which seems more about having fun and being active which I think me

Yep, I got myself mixed up. It's been 15 years since I worked in thebrail industry, so I'm a bit rusty.
