@CorioPsicologia@malditaes@grodira Para leer no veo diferencia, pero para organizar supongo que dependerá mucho del tema a estudiar. Si haces matemáticas es mejor el papel, en otras cosas, depende.
Cute girl: So. Before we proceed. How do you feel about Marx? Me (nervous): Umm look I guess I'm a socialist but I don't really know enough about the political theory behind it Her: ... Me: I'm sorry Her: ... Her: Marks. Can I leave marks on your skin
🎉 New preprint! 🎉 A short technical note—of interest to folks working on black hole perturbation theory. I give conditions for a handy gauge choice to also freeze the location of the event horizon of a black hole. "Can a radiation gauge be horizon-locking?" https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.10113
I’m looking for a modern and native (*not* electron) mac OS text editor that might take the place of textmate in my latex workflow.
I'm hoping to find something with existing bundles / scripts / extensions comparable to textmate’s LaTeX bundle. The great "Watch Document" feature works so much better than “latexmk -pvc”.
Any recs? I feel like the pickings are slim. When a nice native editor has any LaTeX support it's usually just syntax highlighting and a basic build script.
@arno_app Apparently I have! Downloaded it yesterday to take a look. But when I start it, I get a message saying my demo expired back in April 2022. I guess I installed it in a pandemic haze and forgot to ever try it?
What we need is a movie where Keanu, or Jason Statham, or whoever, just John Wicks every person who ever sold your email address to a political campaign so they could send you fundraising emails. Everyone would love it and it would have a 70 billion dollar opening weekend.
@mcnees a mashup movie with John Wick, Jason Bourne, Statham, Liam Neeson (as his Taken character) all converge at the same time to dispense said karmic justice.
@thomasfuchs There's that, and also I think a general resentment of folks who are creative and who have worked to develop skills that complement their creativity.
Are right-wing tech fartwaffles so enamored with generative AI because it matches their view of how humans should think (aka making shit up until something sticks)?
• I don't love that I can't turn OFF file sync that I never use • I don't love that many top-level items (like ‘Stock & Marketplace’) are false fronts that just open a web browser. • I don’t love that prominent UI here is trying to sell me more seats — and I can’t hide it!?! • I don’t love that it can’t auto-fill the 2FA login codes when they come in via text message
@cabel From the folks who brought you “Do you want to save your document to the cloud? Are you sure? What if you just saved it to the cloud this one time? I'll keep asking in case you change ur mind. Maybe also you could try some new AI features.”
Here, some government agencies still require documents to be sent by fax, so we visit Kinko's (now Fedex Office) or the UPS Store and pay them to send.
Back when the house had a landline, there was a fax machine, but there was so much spam that we disconnected it. Yes, there are (or were) companies that would randomly dial numbers and try to fax pages of advertising.
Mathematicians describe points on the plane with coordinates (x,y). The first coordinate says how far 𝑎𝑐𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑠 you go and the second says how far 𝑢𝑝 you go. Then they describe entries of a matrix Mᵢⱼ with indices where the first says how far 𝑑𝑜𝑤𝑛 you go and the second says how far 𝑎𝑐𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑠 you go.
In each case I've had teachers who insinuate that this is the only reasonable thing to do and you'd have to be nuts to dream of doing anything else.
I think some teachers don't distinguish between facts and conventions. Actual facts of mathematics are worth thinking about - understanding them more and more deeply is a never-ending quest. But for arbitrary conventions, you should just memorize them and move on.
"Applicants must also have extensive knowledge of Unix, although they should have sufficiently good programming taste to not consider this an achievement."
@soaproot Around that time. I'd say the culture is Lisp Machine culture, which I suppose is the CSAIL culture of the time, so maybe the overlap is pretty significant.
