  • Unicode isn't meant to replace all typesetting like LaTeX. For example, I can't make proper horizontal fractions (as opposed to slashed like ⅝ or ⁹⁄₁₆) that are normal in my part of the world because that would be too much scope creep. Even the TeX logo is not really doable (Markdown with ASCII: TEX, Unicode ᵀᴇˣ).

    An imperfect solution is adding ̅ U+0305 COMBINING OVERLINE above everything. For example, it does not sit at consistent height (√4̅a̅c̅) and Windows renders it incorrectly (centered to the right edge of the character, not its center).

    This is how I'd render the numerator using Unicode only:𝑏² ± √4̅𝑎̅𝑐̅

    A correct Markdown interpreter can improve the look ogf the superscript:𝑏2 ± √4̅𝑎̅𝑐̅

  • I'm guessing a typesetter was too lazy to add another textbox and although they knew how to type "√", didn't realize "²" is in Unicode too. They added a horizontal line as separate graphics to extend the square root symbol but only realized too late the whole thing is in a fraction: maybe someone reminded them and they misinterpreted the advice, or just decided not to split the text box to put the nominator higher.

  • Do you have a truly universal method for quadratic expansion that is easier to remember and compute than the formula? Don't get me wrong, I enjoy quadratic expansion and always give it a few shots before resorting to the formula.

  • Artificial dichotomies are unfortunately a consequence of the voting system. Would you consider voting for her if the Republican rival was just as pro-Israel or more? Or slightly more pro-Palestine but very much against you in many other issues?

  • It's weight-based.

  • Woah, thanks! I read the legally-borrowable 2007 book but what you showed me has more and entirely different content, mostly higher quality, plus no DRM.

  • Interesting. I thought it was very popular in Norway. I only read the English translation via Internet Archive, am I missing out?

  • I tried Gemini:

    This comic strip is a joke based on the contrast between a character's description of his apartment and what it actually looks like.

    In the first panel, a man is inviting a woman into his apartment, claiming he is "super into minimalism" and has a "zen atmosphere." He is setting up an expectation for a clean, stylish, and uncluttered living space.

    The second panel reveals the interior of the apartment, which is sparsely furnished but messy. The room contains a mattress on the floor, a single chair, a television, and a poster of the anime Naruto on the wall. The humor comes from the fact that his apartment is not a curated, minimalist space, but rather a simple room that just happens to have very little furniture. The presence of the Naruto poster is also a visual joke, as it contrasts with the "zen atmosphere" he described. The man is likely misinterpreting being a minimalist with simply having very few possessions.

    Not bad but probably burned way more coal in the process>

  • Idk, is computer vision good enough to recognize what the apartment feels like?

  • Not really true, instances that were around to federate with kbin.social have a copy, even a preview image (see my other comment).

  • Yes, it blends in with Voyager's UI because it's a screenshot of Voyager's UI.

  • Well, the article does not usebthe word "loop" anywhere else so I figured it was about a circular route rather than the Tesla Low-Speed Tunnel but it took a while.

  • The Loop is in Vegas, isn't it?

  • Since RFK dropped out, it's Oliver (7), West (4) and Stein (1).
