People who haven't gotten an industry job yet wouldn't understand but google is right here. Jobs outside of academia suck balls.

I can get him a room at the Hilbert Hotel, I know a guy.

Bethesda games are just a jobs program for modders at this point

The funny part is 24 and 60 are already great numbers to base your time system on. They're both very divisible which means you can divide up the day or hour into halves, thirds, and quarters without dealing with fractional time periods. It would remove a practical aspect of time keeping to no benefit.

Make a proposal without a plan or a feasibility study is peak management. Starting to understand how I end up with projects with very firm deadlines that are only vaguely defined and no one is sure if we have the resources on hand.

Those meetings come after you make the change where they tell you they actually expected the button would get smaller.

The main thing I hate about inflated expectations in job postings and interviews is I keep expecting to do interesting and challenging work. And the jobs keep being like "make a powerpoint and summarize your results to someone that does not know what a number is".

Yes

Is that supposed to be an emptyset or very pretty curly braces?

Either way: me too, thanks.

It's not named after the emperor, it's named after the dog whisperer.

Wonder if there's an old school CIA guy that's like "we used to assassinate world leaders and start genocides" while posting "lol xinnie the pooh"

my plan would be putting the roms onto the Switch and then play handheld (is this possible?)

Jailbreaking a still supported console is generally pretty tough. I'm guessing you'll have to look for specific product numbers and firmware versions. For handheld gaming you could always get another device and use it for PC and retro emulators games. Steam deck is excellent, but pricey (and actually plays some switch games). On the slightly more affordable end there are the retroid pockets. There are hundreds of other cheap handheld emulators, but I'd do some reading into one before going with it.

PDE course?

Shit shit fuck

Arbitrary precision engineering

It's completely wrong within ZF set theory the cardinality of the integers is stricly smaller than the cardinality of the real numbers. The continuum hypothesis states that there is no set with a cardinality strictly larger than the natural numbers (or integers) and strictly smaller than the real numbers.

It accidentally kind of comes to the right conclusion, but even the conclusion isn't really correct, you don't need to be concerned with finite time since integers are a smaller cardinality.

Let's say people can be placed on a point on the track indexed by the real numbers, given any two seperate, finite, points, there would be more people packed between those two points than the entire integer track.

Do we know if there's a track with a number of people tied down strictly in between the numbers of the two tracks?

Pretty sure most subreddits that put it to a vote had the userbases support the blackouts as well.

Is it just mere elitism to feel superior or are there any other reasons?

Security concerns are a part of it. The idea is that there's an added layer of security if everyone is a friend of a friend, but obviously it's not very practical. Generally the security is added by making sure you're drafting from an "in"-crowd, which usually means familiarity with the content hosted and how the content is generated (like the old what.cd test) in addition to being a member in good standing in a tracker or a proven history of seeding. User limits also make the need for people to be very into the specific content type in order to make sure even the more obscure content is well seeded.
