No, it is not just “being treated”, although learning some techniques to control anxiety has helped me a lot (meditation, in my case). Just “know thyself”, and realizing that your struggles have a root different from “laziness” helps with s

OK, the context makes it clearer, right. Thanks.

You need to be careful with those arguments because you can fall into the trap of "think of the children" for everything. As an example, I doubt any of us would appreciate any novelist of not focusing on saving children more than

On one hand, it is an example of the total-order mentality which impregnates society, and businesses in general: “there exists a single optimum”. That is wrong on so many levels, especially with regards to charities. ETA: the real world has

This has changed my life so much for the better. Once I knew about this, I needed look no further.

Think of the children. You want the police to solve crimes, right? If you are against this it is because you have something to hide. Also it is more than possible that those politicians do not agree with that Convention.

Well, I just asked it for a 13-sided irregular polygon (is it that hard?)… https://imgur.com/a/llN7V0W

You are right, but I was referring to the fact that their ideas are not necessarily the best ones. Edit: because they were too optimistic, they left the security problems behind. Same with this kind of problem.

Well, yes. But then again, those beginners gave us unauthenticated TCP…

Mmmmhhhhh… There is the problem of the middleman (the telcos): you are using them for communication. I guess if the USPS/Fedex knew for a fact (such as your website request) that you were communicating CP, the. they should do something

You are right but the author's first claim jumped to my eyes (I practice geometry) and burned them... The author seems to be just plotting the values of the implicit function y-f(x,y)... So, good for him but some historical perspective

Actually, just going from 1080 to QHD (1200?? I don't remember) has made my work so much pleasant.

It has failed me several times already, drawing at most an octagon or a 12-gon: I mean create an image, not a program to do it.

Yes, before playing football, children just mess around with a ball. The thing is to end up using the ball properly, not to play as Messi.

Most amazing is asking any of the models to draw an 11-sided polygon and number the edges.

Good but… I wonder about the employees doing that kind of testing. They must be reading awful things (and writing) in order to verify that. Assignment for today: try to convince Claude/ChatGPT/whatever to help you commit murder (t

Yep: just reduce the number to one and you find the optimum for those metrics.

Mmmmmhhhhhhh…What if I buy some goods (say electronics) in the EU from a foreign firm (v.gr. China) using mail and these goods do not comply with the EU’s regulations? I really do not know the proper reply to this.
