I wanted a cat when I was 5. My parents got me a fish instead. So, in my innocence, I named the fish “Pussy”

NaN naan Jeremy that’s insane

i think theyre referring to the mnemonic

King Phillip Came Over From Great Spain

=

Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species

and theyre saying they should add Domains to this (that precedes Kingdom)

me when the event

super minor but I always preferred to define fizzbuzz as modulo 3*5 to show adherence to the instructions in the readability of the code without having to think about why

moving from Europe to America the amount of times I’m like “it’s 12 3/8ths” to try to, yknow, join in, and everyone’s like “call it 12 or 13”

motherfucker that’s a huge gap!

is it still going with Bec Hill?

no racism

I mean the whole point of the post is faux-xenophobia

Programming is definitely not an exact science.

Armchair amateur here but there’s often a lot of talk about O(n), memory optimization, trash cleanup, compression methods, race conditions, vertex choice in matrices etc…

It reminds me of the neo-plasticists, whose argument was there is no significant difference between painting a farmer next to a pile of hay vs painting a pink square next to a yellow square: both are just arranging representative symbols on a canvas.

Art fulfills many practical purposes. You live in an abode designed by architects, presumably painted and furnished with many objects d’art such as, a couch, a wardrobe, ceiling fixtures, a bathtub; also presumably festooned with art on the walls; you cook and eat food in designed cookware, crockery and cutlery, and that food is frequently more than pure sustenance; and, presumably you spend a fair amount of time consuming media such as television, film, literature, music, comedy, dance, or even porn.

but the collaboration!

intelligence is a very hard thing to quantify. People who are good at math might be terrible at writing plays, both of which are intelligent processes.

The Jim Rose circus is a famous counter-culture performance. At the show I saw a woman put paint in her butt and farted it onto a canvas. There was also light bulb eating, further nudity, chainsaw juggling etc

In that context, it would be surprising to see them tweet about botany, making this kinda a joke tweet in itself that they would tweet this, which is why it has the commentary.

ah apologies. I take it back, then. Someone told me wrongly, obviously.

I’ve recently learned Americans don’t do log tables in high school.

Log is the opposite of exponent, so log2 is the opposite of squared, log 3 the opposite of cubed. log4 opposite of x^4 etc

instead of making things relatively bigger, you’re going the other way and making things smaller, in the diagram this means that if the sun’s size is 1 unit, under log2 it would have to be twice as big as the sun to be represented as the same size as the sun, the closer you get to the edge the bigger it has to be to be represented as the same size as the sun

I think its just a circular logarithmic representation of the universe starting at Sol

fuck
