  • Ikr like... Give me a docker compose file and tell me what env vars need to be set to what. Why is it so complicated?

  • Hey, I'm coming in and matching your energy.

    They didn't specifically mention children or adult men, for you to assume they meant adult men is a crazy assumption to make.

  • Not cosmOS, Crunchy. The person who said "that's why young boys are voiced by women" to which you replied "that's not really what I'm talking about"

    I could have replied directly to that but I didn't wanna fork the thread, since it's more or less the same convo. Although in hindsight I should have.

    But generally I feel like y'all are talking past each other

  • By the powers of pedantry, I have been summoned!

    That has less to do with longevity compared to casting men as it does their ability to better mimic the higher pitch of children.

    What the heck are you talking about?they were saying "that's why child characters get voiced by women instead of men", they said "that's why child characters get voiced by women instead of children" Because that choice absolutely does have to do with the longevity of the voice.

    That's a wild way to misunderstand them lol.

  • I'm afraid you've jumped the shark

  • "you"

  • I'm addicted, I can't stop

  • Some people doBut he is a general science communicator. Like bill nye or something. He isn't the expert on any specific thing (as he will tell you himself), but people often don't want to watch content from a super specific specialist because they get bored of too much content on a specific topic. Hank (and his channels) have a research team who go out and contact specialists and experts, and then distill that into something close enough to the truth and still entertaining.

  • The first few, at least, seem kinda heavy for a tween

  • I hate how so many of the arr apps don't describe what they do in a way that people who don't already know can understand.

    Even the tutorials and guides are frustratingly vague.

  • if PEDMAS is a law

    It isn't, it's a convention. Not sure how many times you need to be told that 🙄

    THANK YOU. this is what I've been trying to tell you the entire fucking time. PEMDAS is not a law, its a convention.

    but just in case you decide to go back on that, and since you seem to be obsessed with the idea that all notations adhere to PEMDAS - let me blow your mind:

    here is the distributive law, written in the 3 notations we've been talking about:prefix: *a+bc = +*ab*ac infix: a(b+c) = ab+ac postfix: abc+* = ab*ac*+

    (not using juxtaposition multiplication for prefix/postfix for clarity)

    so where does PEDMAS get involved in prefix or postfix notations?

    regarding your textbook being the first google result... are you referring to the textbook from 1913? for someone talking about the importance of textbooks, thats a really strange choice. I can't find another with the same name and author of either Coll or Rich.and hilariously, if you look at that text book, on page 90 it says the following:

    Probably the most common error consists in breaking the laws of precedence of operations (§ 13). These laws were made arbitrarily, but are recognized the world over, and the student must accept and memorize them.

  • None of those really "feel like" the things they're replacing. I don't really even think that should be the goal. They occupy the same space, though, and the infographic would look stupid if it showed all the options in some category, so they just picked a popular proprietary/centralized one, and a popular federated alternative in the same category. In this case discord is a popular chat app, and the most popular federa chat app afaict is matrix.

  • That's some awful impressive goalpost shifting. Gold medal mental gymnastics winner.

    And here you are, still unable to explain why prefix and postfix notation don't have an operator precedence. I'm still waiting.

    I already told you 3 times they obey the same rules

    They literally don't, and I defy you to show me a single source that tells you that prefix or postfix notation use PEDMAS. I'll even take Quora answers.Heck, I'll even take a reputable source talking about prefix/postfix that doesnt bring up how order of operations isn't required for those notations.

    Nope. Doesn't say that anywhere. Go ahead and screenshot the part which you think says that. I'll wait

    Right here:

    Infix notation needs extra information to make the order of evaluation of the operators clear:

    rules built into the language about operator precedence and associativity

    Which you attempt to retort with

    BTW this is completely wrong...

    But then you go on to say something to the effect of "anyone who knows the rules can the extra information". Which is both unsubstantiated given the long history of not having PEDMAS, but also kind of a nothingburger.

    Doesn't say that either. 🙄 Again, provide a screenshot of where you think it says that

    It's literally the whole thing. Did you notice how they never discuss the need for operator precedence, or use operator precedence?

    Build for me a prefix or postfix equation that you think is changed by adding parentheses (eg overriding the natural order of operations), and then go ahead and find a prefix or postfix calculator and show me the results of removing those parentheses.If you read the rules for those notations, you'll see pretty clearly that operator precedence is purely positional, and has nothing to do with which operator it is.

    Note that I always cite Maths textbooks

    No, you've show a screenshot from a random PDF. What math textbook and what edition is it?

    The fact you think that factorization has to do with order of operations is shocking. Yes the multiplication is done first, but not because PEDMAS. The law is about converting between a sum of a common product and a product of sums. No matter how you write them, it will always be about those things, so the multiplication always happens first. It doesn't depend on PEDMAS because without PEDMAS you'd simply write the equation differently and factorization would still work.It's crazy that you're not able to distinguish between mathematical concepts and the notation we use to describe them.

    But putting that aside, that's not a proof of PEDMAS. If PEDMAS is an actual law, then there will be a formal proof or theorem about it. There are proofs for 1+1, if PEDMAS is a law then there will be an actual proof specifically about it. Not just some law and then you claim it follows that PEDMAS is true, an actual proof or theorem, or an textbook snippet explain how it is an unprovable statement.

  • Left to right is a convention, yes, doing Multiplication and Division before Addition and Subtraction is a rule 🙄

    A claim entirely unsupported by the textbook example you provided. Nowhere does it say that one is a convention but not the other, it only says that removing brackets changes the meaning in some situations, which is fully within the scope of a convention.

    For the 3rd time it does have order of operations 🙄You just do them in some random order do you?

    There you go again, just admitting you don't know what postfix and prefix notations are.If you're ordering your operations based what the operator is, like PEDMAS, then what you're doing isn't prefix or postfix.

    I'll tell you what, here is a great free article from Colorado State university talking about prefix, postfix, and infix notations.Note how it says the rules about operator precedence are for the notation which itself is a convention, as all notations are, and how prefix and postfix don't need those rules

    says person who doesn't know the difference between conventions and rules, and thinks postfix notation doesn't have rules 🙄

    How embarrassing for you.Here are some more materials:

    But to top it all off, if this was truely a law of mathematics, then show me a proof, theorem, or even a mathematical conjecture, about order of operations.

  • You're not familiar with the rapper Little Johnathan?

  • You're thinking of sheet. Sleet is the act of ejaculating onto something

  • In your screenshot of a textbook, they refer to it as a convention twice.

    And you still haven't explained prefix or postfix notation not having order of operations.

    Get rekd idiot
