I can't find it with the Steam clien tfor some reason and can't be bothered logging in via my browser.

Holy shit!! I didn't know I needed this. I'm so building some - thank you! 👍

I'd love to see a Pixar movie of the little velocoraptor chucks.

Don't worry - I thought the same thing! I even heard the words in Uhtreds voice.

Loved that show. I dropped off around season 2 though. The first season was great but when he became constantly neutered by Alfred's loyalty baptisms I got bored.

Why did he leave btw? Did he retire?

Almost seems like he took a holiday and now wants to start back on easier hours.

I kept buying Pi Zero Ws, hats and phats then put them all in a drawer cos I couldn't decide what to do with them. I think I've got about 7 or 8. I really should do something with them.

Is Big Coffee paying you to shill Java all over this post?

I was a Vivaldi user, like you, until I used Floorp and now I'm a crack addict.

ELI5 how we go under space?

And you're a relative badger.

That's like a spastic dragon fly.

I fucking loved maths mechanics which is like applied maths/physics. So you'd calculate the distance a ball is thrown or a cannon ball dropped from a cliff. Don't think we ever did matrices in it though. I enjoyed it so much I'd do excersizes in the book for fun!! That and politics were the only courses I was passionate about.

But I became a software dev that didn't use maths or politics. :/

So from age 5-17 I hated maths cos I saw no point in it. Until I hit 17 and someone said I can work out how fast a fucking cannon ball travels on impact?! I mean holy dog shit! If someone told me that in primary school I'd have loved maths!

It was very much taught as a means to answer questions though rather than application. So as an adult I'd have to be shown how a number could be found using algebra. But because it wasn't in an algebra question format it went over my head. It literally required someone taking numbers I'd been given and putting them in a line with letters before my brain engaged to "Oh shit - algebra! I know this!".

Another example is differentiation. I recently looked up my notes and remembered it was told to us very mechanically: f(x) = 4x^3 => f'(x) = 4(3x^2) = 12x^2

No idea why that's the case - it just is.

It's a shame cos I learnt I love maths at 17 but by that point I'd lost years of potential.

P.S. any advice on where I can re-learn real-world maths? I'd love to redo my teens maths learning for fun.

as a door-opener

You say that but they still need to teach you the "why". For example I did A-level maths which was a door to learning discrete maths in uni. Matrices, graphs, etc.

In 20yrs as a software dev I never used any of it. Only needed basic arithmetic.

To this day I've got no bloody clue what the point of matrices are.

I wish I was taught about the usefulness of maths growing up. When I did A-level with differentition and integration I quickly forgot as I didn't see a point in it.

At about 35 someone mentioned diff and int are useful for loan repayment calculations, savings and mortgages.

Blew my fucking mind cos those are useful!

An Exciting Dystopia.

I've got a cousin who was born after a failed hangar abortion. Was born with all sorts of fucked up brain issues.

I wonder what Unidan is upto these days?

Do you mean: https://lemmy.world/c/crows@lemmy.ml

The patent was filed in 1999 but wasn't granted until late-2000s. I dunno what US patent law states but I would have thought it's back dated to when it was applied.

But I think this all part of the battle because the US patent office has refused to release internal emails that could shed light on all this.

Something fishy is going on and he's already won some cases.

I hope it makes pirated games easier to launch on Linux. 👍 I've got about 5 different games I've yet to play cos I can't be arsed looking into Proton command line flags.
