  • How is she standing between the wall and the counter?

  • No. I've never used one in Europe but I know they exist here from advertising.

  • Earth: layer below electricity, melting and disintegrating

    Elon Musk: boring through Earth and strapping hopelessly tiny, exploding rockets to the "Electricity" block to get everything to Mars

    Sun: lowermost layer but extending a fist labeled "2027 solar flare" at internet infrastructure

  • I think GNU is worth more than 0.5 Gemini

  • Not really world clocks, they just try to use JavaScript to display the device's time.

  • Almost ¾ of each 8-bit part! That's about 230x of the current space!

  • Another PDL comic from 2 weeks earlier, almost certainly related:

  • Oh, I was thinking of it as 𝑦 = 𝑒𝑥 or 𝑥 = ln 𝑦, whose derivative in respect to 𝑦 is 𝑥 = 1/𝑦 (for 𝑦 > 0) or 𝑦 = 1/𝑥 (for 𝑥 > 0). Your interpretation is that the 𝑦-axis is non-existent or named differently, which is why I'd prefer the joke to say d/d𝑡 for less ambiguity, as @anothercatgirl suggested.

  •  𝑒𝑥 has been around since the 17th century and it hasn't changed since. Therefore, it's a constant with respect to time and gets unceremoniously derived to 0.

  • The result is 𝑦 = ⅟ₓ, right?

  • Here, have this:𝑒ˣᵈ⁄d𝑥

    Even plain text textboxes can do fun stuff if there is good Unicode support

  • She is derivation, a transform of functions that describes rate of 𝑓(𝑥) changing as 𝑥 changes. (This can be represented visually as the slope of the graph 𝑦 = 𝑓 (𝑥).) He is the exponential function 𝑒𝑥, which is the only non-zero function whose derivative is itself - in other words, unaffected by derivation. The number 𝑒 is a constant (around 2.718) and the base of natural logarithms, hence the title.

    except its multiples such as −2 𝑒𝑥, which are... just... uh... derivative works

  • Unfortunately for him, the 19th century discoverer, Robert Dick, did not live to see the 2013 discovery of his namesake's sexual dimorphism (presumably because no imprints of soft tissue had been found back then).

  • Yes, which is why air traffic bears (see top-level comment) struggle to find jobs at airports. They can't learn the phonetic alphabet either, and spell the conventional way (every letter is R, too).
