How do people calculate pi

They don't.

Pi is well known, up to many more than hundred digits. People memorize it, or look it up, but they don't need to calculate again (unless they want to go to extremes).

humble homelabbers masquerading

LMAO!!

Because they simply cannot do it otherwise.

We pronounce d and t exactly the same way, so both sound like d to other people, but ofc we know from context which one is meant, always, therefore to us they aren't the same at all! :)

I don't remember too much tbh, just that we heard about the theory at university and tried out some of the mathematical methods. They were tiresome ;)

Today I would recommend to start your studies on the wikipedia pages about Markov models and about machine learning.

Models were a thing even some 30 or 40 years ago. Processing power makes most of the difference today: it allows larger models and quicker results.

Do you live in that region?

Basically, if you don't have a phone the cops can easily backdoor, you must be a criminal.

... and if it's an obscenely expensive one.

Normal people either can't afford these devices or don't have time for all the hassle of installing and using a rare operating system on a phone.

Just pretend to get over it, like the others who are so thoroughly asleep and let their lifes pass.

Or stay awake, and try to make a few things better while you are actually able to, and hope to find ways to accept all the rest.

"Grandpa,
and proud of it!"

When a coworker announces that he goes on vacation now (from this to that date, just so everybody knows), I ask:

"Who has approved that?"

in a grave serious tone.

Even if it is some kind of boss of any level.

Works best in large meetings :)

You understand that it's just an animated movie? They do not think.

Can't exceed the speed of sound in the material, not speed of sound in the atmosphere.

Speed of sound in the air is a serious problem as well. It would probably break most rubber bands.

velocity of at least 11 km/s, which is needed

free benefit of the equatorial velocity, which is about 0.44 km/h, so that reduces our required speed to "only" 10.56 km/h.

How did you go from seconds to hours so quickly? 🤔

You want to hire the "guru", not the "principal". You want to actually ask him to write 0xD6 in decimal, and if he dares to answer "Seriously? Come on now, that's boring", then you hire him on the spot.

But you can't hire only gurus. You need normal seniors, too. Build a normal team around one guru. Maybe build one ultra advanced team around 2-3 gurus, if you really need to invent new and hardcore difficult stuff.

interviewing senior security engineers

Or maybe senior security engineers from 10 years ago were somewhat different from (wannabee senior) security engineers today?

Did you ask them to write 0xD6 in decimal? 😃

I guess you are free to read these posts or not read them. Just like everybody else.

What if your reasoning is just post-hoc justification

Relax, part of it is :)

The brain is able to do many different kinds of thinking. Reasoning is one of them. Dreaming is another, etc.

When you are thinking logically, then it is reproducible, and it is understandable and verifiable by other people.

When you do scientific research, such verfification by others is even required, before your results are considered meaningful and true.

He wants to leave the planet anyway, so why not mess it up terribly before...
