It’s been 53 years since we stopped sending humans to the moon. Now we have the world wide web, touch-screens, voice recognition, human simulcra, and CRISPR.

He’s a science guy.

It’s not simply notation, since you can prove the identity from base principles. An alien species would be able to discover this independently.

Why would you assume I don’t have the context? I have a degree in math. I could be wrong about this, I’m open-minded. By all means, please explain how infinitesimals don’t have a consistent algebra.

Not very good mathematicians if they tell you they aren’t fractions.

e^𝘪θ is not just notation. You can graph the entire function e^x+𝘪θ across the whole complex domain and find that it matches up smoothly with both the version restricted to the real axis (e^x) and the imaginary axis (e^𝘪θ). The complete version is:

e^x+𝘪θ := e^x(cos(θ) + 𝘪sin(θ))

Various proofs of this can be found on wikipeda. Since these proofs just use basic calculus, this means we didn’t need to invent any new notation along the way.

try this on – Yes 👎

It’s a fraction of two infinitesimals. Infinitesimals aren’t numbers, however, they have their own algebra and can be manipulated algebraically. It so happens that a fraction of two infinitesimals behaves as a derivative.

oh huh, neat. Always though of those as “operations.”

In Comp-Sci, operators mean stuff like >>, *, /, + and so on. But in math, an operator is a (possibly symbollic) function, such as a derivative or matrix.

it’s legit a fraction, just the numerator and denominator aren’t numbers.

It’s messy, but if that’s what you want, this method provides what you want at the highest density possible.

This should go in the list of comments that are always worthless in any context.

Bread is a delivery mechanism for the contents of the sandwich. But what if you could remove the bread, and have double the sandwich contents instead?

This is one of my bigger complaints with China.

Then you should say that.

Regarding SMB3, I would recommend the remastered SNES version, part of Super Mario All-Stars.

I feel like BotW has some fundamental design problems with lots of repetitive content, an unsatisfying weapon-breaking system, and of course it lacks dungeons. The dialogue has a lot of words but very little to say. Don’t get me wrong, the open world is breathtaking, but a lot was sacrificed on that altar.

I didn’t say that. I said you did not push the accusation. Instead you weaseled out by saying he was “mentioned.”

You could accuse that “he inspired the Christchurch shooter,” but c’mon just being mentioned by a bad guy isn’t in and of itself a bad thing.

You got a problem with open source? In /c/opensource?
