I hope my choice of west seattle because of the hill works out in the worst case scenario.

No, though this did make me realize I left Riemann out, so I would include him as well.

There's ample evidence from the time that rather than take credit, as _many_ unethical scientists have tried (*cough Newton), Euler was quite the opposite. I think one of his strengths was in his prolific collaborations actually, or ta

Euler's textbooks were such a gift to Europe. I'm always a bit perplexed he doesn't get more credit for this given he wrote some of the first calculus books people could read, because Newton had not cared or tried to. So in m

Wait until you find out he was totally blind the last 15ish years of his life _and wrote more during that period than any other_. Scribes would just sit and he would talk while they wrote. He literally died while doing a calculation in this

Our grocery bill hasn’t budged. No meat and no dairy maybe? I’d like to see data on the inflation across sections of food to understand this more.

It’s the friggin moon. I’m amazed people are taking this request seriously. You don’t get to just look up and say “that’s sacred” and expect the rest of us to go along with your fantasy. Because there’s way too many other fantasies with way

Completely agree based on my experience. The author's experiences are shared by me and what finally forced me to change my process was reading Alexander Grothendieck. I was not expecting such a prolific writer to espouse such relaxed p

So what? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills when I read these things. You all do realize the same thing happens in your mind with those same prompts right? That’s kinda how it works. Who is surprised by this? Yeah no shit it can kinda repro

Do not buy supplements or anything you put in your body off Amazon. Just assume everything is made with fiberglass and dick pills, and shop with that mindset.

Dedekinds paper is I believe 1872 actually and this is more in line with the set theory research explosion as cantor had published his results by this point. Plus him and Dedekind were close friends so they would have known of eachother’s r

Just defending Herr Gödel as I see his and Leibniz names being bandied about. His proof said nothing on existence. It only said if god did exist god _must_ be perfect. That’s a very different argument. You’d still have to accept the axioms

At the limit, and with dubious meaning “generated by AI or digital tools”; all image media will be dubious shortly. All intellectual pieces around culture will be dubious. All political media will be dubious. I expect this to be in a very s

> As soon as you hit strong cultural disagreement (e.g. "new technologies" is a minefield) I am not sure what you mean by this. This is a question I ask and I’m concerned there’s something I’m missing here. Could you elaborate?

And then the internet changed it again. Amazing to see how different beauty standards are just in my lifetime from the 80s to now.

I’m in the minority, but I was let down by the game. I have RSI so forcing me into the modern combat in games destroyed it for me. I just wanted my turn based game. It also just didn’t feel like the original at all for as far as I played. B

And paywalls killed it. I kid I kids. Just having some fun here is all. I wonder what the article said though. Maybe it was to do with some new technology or a political problem. Those aren’t fun. But smoking weed and watching movies and h

This comment section is a blast. Btw, just saying “this phrase is considered hateful by many” is inane. Many people find many things hateful but they don’t get the same weird instant “you bigot!” label as some of what I see directed towards

To Ruby’s credit, they foresaw what others bolted on years if not decades after. Remember Python didn’t start with being fully object oriented, everything is not exactly an object, they bolted on the useful functional stuff later (like ever

I gave up at the idea of focusing on all those costs and business things which seemed to imply there was a company writing code before there was even a product. Sounds like a nightmare of a workplace.

I stopped using google and switched to Bing about a year ago after they started doing more with ChatGPT. For the most part I’m much happier with how it presents what I’m looking for. It’s not perfect, but when I compare to google the few ti

I guess I don’t even get why the car keeps selling. I am in the market and wasn’t impressed from what I drove. Subaru has an electric vehicle now and I loved it. Probably will go with that. It’s strange because just 4-5 years ago all I want

These “externalities” are starting to add up. I love that term. Such a quaint word invented by such clueless people to sweep under the rug such massive problems for so long. Not that it matters. The language may change but i doubt the macro

Maintaining Ruby is a nightmare. Trying to escape that hell now. I do like Ruby for my own projects. But I hate working on Ruby with others. It becomes more messy faster and then all that supposed “getting out of your way” goes out the wind

Publishing models is unreal. What is this person talking about? Take 2 hours and feed some pdf’s and take some time to build one and it’s amazing. You can abstract most of college away with these things. It’ll take years for the cultural fo
