log_10(size of observable universe / planck length) = 61.74... so like 63 digits of precision for everything are enough

If you think "more humans" is the only thing you can contribute to society, you have failed not biologically, but in every other aspect

Is there a way to view webtoon comics without logging in?

If it's networking related, I like "Layer 8 Issue"

I originally only had one, but apparently my lemmy client parses markdown wrong

Does Javascript have anything to say about promises that are never resolved/rejected? Is that something that happens?

Once you have the idea, seeing that it works if often easy. But coming up with ideas like that can be really hard, which is why gauss was the only one in his class who got it. There is no general method, you just have to think about stuff for a while, but you can get better with practice. And it feels really good when you prove something for yourself, even if it's relatively straightforward. You can just try to prove some simple things yourself, if you want, the advanced college courses are just for proving really advanced stuff.

This may be a stupid question but is your video cable plugged into the gpu or into the motherboard?

As mentioned by DarkThoughts, he is quoting something that exsists: Your own text in this post.

Pemdas puts division and multiplication on the same level, so 34/22 is 12 not 3. Implicit multiplication is also multiplication. It's a question of convention, but by default, it's 16.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

It's weird because usually the people writing the expressions want to communicate clearly, and stuff like 1/2x is not immediately clear to everyone, so they write the 1/2 as a fraction.

The same expression on both sides of the division sign only reduce to one if they actually bind to the division sign, which is rarely an issue, but that is exactly the thing that is in question here. I think it's clear that 1 + 1/1 + 1 is 3, not 1, even though 1+1 = 1+1.

But as you said, of course, the evaluation order is just convention, you can just as well write everything in https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_Polish_notation

your first line is correct, but while it looks like 1 (and it might be under different conventions), evaluating according to standard rules (left to right if not disambiguated by pemdas) yields

2(2+2)/2(2+2) = 2(4)/2(4) = 24/24 = 8/24 = 44 = 16

Using implicit multiplication in quotients is weird and really shouldn't happen, this would usually be written as 8/(2(2+2)) or 8/2(2+2) and both are much clearer

Your second argument only works if you treat 2(2+2) as a single "thing", which it looks like, but isn't, in this case

That would be extremely funny

YouTube as a platform isn't necessarily good, it's just the place where all the good content is

It just goes up all the way

Not really cylinders, but toruses. Disks with extent are cylinders.

Are you sure? The way I understand it, ray marching is not something that can really replace ray/pathtracing, it's mainly used for rendering signed distance fields which is cool if you want to draw fractals and stuff, but not very efficient for classical geometry

In your case I would just start by copying a full setup someone else made and then customizing it, starting from scratch always takes a lot of effort. Reddit's unixporn was great for that, the alternatives on lemmy are sadly still a little empty.
