I feel like you've missed the point of my comment. I said that the exponential is important and you've repeated that here so we don't disagree about that. My point is to distinguish between the exponential function in general and particular value of the exponential function when evaluated at 1.
1) It's not mandatory;

2) How would you earth a PSU (with no built-in switch) & PC chassis for working on, for example, while not having it 'hot' in your country? Special plug/cable with L&N NC? We can just turn it off.

That's arguably a bit of a contrived example, but it is handy to have an ever-present switch to isolate things, and some things are always on standby while powered. Battery chargers & power tools typically, for example.
You can also get sufficiently angry and just write out linear algebra books and what not in Agda / Coq / Lean if it pisses you off so much (I've done a bunch of exercises in Coq)

I got one of these before going to university. Abit BP6, dual Malaysian C300a overclocked to 450 MHz on the slotkets, an ATI Rage 128, an SB Live, all sitting in an Inwin Q500 case. I was chasing the SMP dream to try it in Quake 3.

I donated the machine to a Goodwill store a few years ago before realizing there's a retro scene who would've appreciated it more.

Thanks for the nostalgia trip!

Not my cup of tea, but if you really want PHP-like with JS, EJS looks really close to "I wish server-side javascript worked like PHP":

It's so nice to see a comment giving PHP the praise it deserves. Honestly, PHP is a good, if not great, language to use for building solid web apps fast.

People seem to love to hate it because it's the "cool" thing to do. Yet PHP developers continue to ship things faster, while JS devs are probably still fiddling with their Node environment setup...

Thanksgiving, as a consistent national holiday formally observed every year, was established by Abraham Lincoln’s proclamation in 1863, which declared it a day for “Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens”. Clearly religious in nature, although no doubt Lincoln had political motivations as well - the two are not mutually exclusive. 1621 was in itself a one-off event; the fact that it was later cited as justification for a regular observance says more about those later times than about 1621, and how 1621 was presented at those later times (such as in 1863, but also various earlier times too-it was observed at the state/local level, and intermittently nationally too, before Lincoln made it a regular national observance) is more important than what really happened for the purpose of determining whether it should be classified as religious. Abraham Lincoln appears to have not believed in Christianity personally (his personal beliefs are obscure, but he may have been some kind of deist); but when he made that proclamation I think he was expecting most Americans to understand it in Christian terms and most Americans at the time in fact did.

Euler was much more than smart. The man went home during the Black Plague and studied math so hard he went blind in one eye - presumably so his brain could use those neurons for math instead of sight. He was also discredited in his time and for centuries after for an intuitive understanding of calculus through infinitesimal and infinite numbers - which was only relatively recently put into rigor akin to epsilon-delta calculus. Also considered the last person to be able to know all of the known world of mathematics at his point in time.

I kind of wish we had a holiday of some kind to appreciate either Euler himself or even a month to discuss the historical contributions to knowledge by philosophers and scientists alike.
Yeah I looked at those when I learned of them. They often come with serious quality (and price) trade offs if you’re able to source them at all.

If you’re looking for a generic LCD it’s probably fine, but if you’re comparing to an LG OLED you won’t find an ad free option in the commercial market. At least I couldn’t back when I tried.

Giving the TV no network access and using an Apple TV seemed to be the best option.

There’s a difference between self-sufficiency and state of the art. China can be self-sufficient without having cutting edge technology.

For most military applications, 28nm process is comfortably sufficient - USAF 5th generation aircraft were designed and flying before 28nm.

I’m not convinced that there is any real need right now for <14nm process besides striving for market share. Market share which is itself reorganizing around new ISAs. EUV is a (amazingly clever) Rube-Goldberg machine.
Hi, I used to struggle with socializing a lot. Now I have a job where the main value I add (on top of other nerds who might do the same job) is that I’m sociable.

When I was in my early twenties, two resources helped me a lot:

- Dale Carnegie’s How To Win Friends and Influence People

- https://www.succeedsocially.com/

Both resources present algorithms, if you will, for getting people to like you— and for learning to like them as well. IMO that is the most important thing: you have to like people, at least in the moment, in order to get along with them. It’s okay to still be an introvert; I’ve learned one of they keys to this is to figure out when you just can’t socialize anymore and need to retreat. You can’t force it, but you can learn it and practice it.

Genuine question from a php hobbyist : what is the equivalent of Typescript’s ability to declare an object’s structure?

It’s really weird to me, I mean don’t we do this all the time? Work with eg. an $options array/obj passedto a constructor, or say, a message decoded from JSON…

I could write $name = $message[‘username’] … and there is no checks in ide or runtime, while the phpdoc will just document $message to be an object or array… what am I missing?

It looks like php devs create full blown classes to represent just about every data strcuture, but what if it’s just data and you don’t need any attached logic’ Isn’t there a concise way to declare a complex type?

I looked it up and it seems you're right! The summer highs in Nicosia[0] really are significantly warmer than in Heraklion[1]. I assumed it will be the same as Crete and Cyprus are at the same latitude and both are islands but there must be some other effects in play.

In Germany in comparison you can go almost 1000km from south to north and the only difference in climate would be if you're on a mountain or the coast (two German cities at the same altitude will have more or less the same climate even if they are 100s of kilometers apart on the south-north axis).

That's the most obvious interpretation, but it doesn't really make much sense. At the end of the day, I suppose it's just a joke that tar command line arguments are bizarre and arcane.
My guess would be that cautious people are more likely to wear masks in the first place, and this would explain the correlation you've noticed between mask-wearing and being cautious. But I don't know for sure. Perhaps mask-wearing also makes uncautious people become more cautious, but I haven't seen anything to support that.
Op here ~~ Thank you all for the advice, I've been reading all of your comments and my heart and mind feels more light now. I would like to share some skills I do have:

Programming background in C and python, also bash and powershell programming.

Knowledge of networking and computers in general( I know how to fix hardware in general and know how to deal with Linux and Windows)

My background is in InfoSec, so I Know how to create scripts in general, analyse and mitigate vulnerabilities.

It's my first job, so I'm really anxious on how to do stuff, because I have some theoretical knowledge but never did it in a company, I always did it at home working on some personal labs.

Thank you again, I really appreciate your comments. Love you all
LG TVs are filled with ads on the operating system itself, there are built-in features which you can't use without agreeing to an invasive privacy policy, the general performance is dogshit after a few years of updates, and there are dark patterns.

For example, I have one Fire TV (and nothing else) connected to the HDMI port of mine. Whenever I turn on the TV, it correctly shows the HDMI input, but it always displays the WebOS app launcher for a couple of seconds, which covers a quarter of the screen. I know the difference between launching the Netflix app in WebOS and launching it through Fire TV, but I'm pretty sure the average non-techie doesn't.

WebOS itself is pretty good, especially considering it's open source. But I would neither trust LG to provide a safe or decent implementation, nor would I want to rely on the performance of whatever low budget SoC they're sticking into these TVs. An external Roku-like device would be the best option.

> See what happens when you're so smart you get multiple things named after you?

Yes, this problem is touched on in the Wikipedia "List of Things named after Leonhard Euler" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_things_named_after_Leo...)

I particularly like the remark in the introduction:

> In an effort to avoid naming everything after Euler, some discoveries and theorems are attributed to the first person to have proved them after Euler.
This follows from e^(ix) = cos(x) + i sin(x)! I'm currently reading the Qiskit quantum computing textbook, and the appendix on linear algebra has a demonstration: https://qiskit.org/textbook/ch-appendix/linear_algebra.html
Your risk unplugging anything (with a compliant plug & socket) is only really 'back EMF' from a poorly designed inductive load - you could get a jolt in significant excess of 230V, but low current, you'd be ok.

A proper plug has coated pins near the grip, and the Earth will be too far removed (shutters closed) by the time you can get your hands on live & neutral contacts.

Not doing you any harm to switch off of course, and there are certainly non-compliant plugs (cheap/knock-off stuff mainly of course) in the wild!

> Apps are not necessarily developed by LG, but by specific developers.

Nobody here's saying anything like that, though. Not sure how you got that idea?

But if the OS on your TV isn't being updated by LG any longer, then you won't be able install the newest versions of many apps, since they use SDK-features, that aren't supported by the older versions of the OS.

Whether an app is actually developed by a third-party, like the BBC or HBO, doesn't change the fact that "minimum supported OS version", is as crippling for a TV, as it is for a smartphone or tablet.

Last time I had to buy a new smartphone, even though the old one was still in excellent working condition, was because my bank and mobile payment apps, stopped supporting the Android OS version, it were stuck at.

I'd hate to also have to buy new TV's, just because the Netflix, HBO, or whatever apps I use, stop working.

> Juicero

Huge margin, going for rich, health conscious consumers - great investment on paper. Shitty due diligence by investors who thought they could grade the investment by the numbers and not by the actual hardware, juice bags, etc.

> Peloton

Taking a commoditized product and differentiating with a premium offering offering high margins is literally a phenomenal investment, if you can find a market for the premium offering and can build a moat. Pharmaceutical companies do this all the time with drugs that are about to lose patent protection, put in a little tweak, get the patent moat back, market the hell out of it to get doctors to prescribe it instead of the suddenly cheap generic version.

> WeWork

You literally described a way to buy low and sell high, taking advantage of latent inefficiency in the market due to misaligned incentives on the part of real estate owners vs. short-term tenants. Basically run hotels but for entrepreneurs instead of tourists. Sounds like a pretty phenomenal investment to me! Too bad the CEO was unstable and let valuations run out of control.

> Social media

Facebook specifically actually was a pretty stupid investment. FB didn't just have a ton of users who hated ads, it had a CEO who foreswore ever deploying advertising, whose board structure kept him from ever getting fired. Pretty sure early FB investors are thankful that some business sense was knocked into Zuck before they went bankrupt.

Twitter, on the other hand, was a far better investment. If you can get strangers to talk to each other, you can get people to talk to brands. Of course that's valuable.
The more general formula (e^ix = cosx + i*sinx) looks better to me because it defines exponentiation of a complex number as a rotation around a unit circle. It has a nice proof, some cool visualisations and a lot of implications to a bunch of other things in mathematics - I can get behind calling that beautiful.

The special case of x=pi... it's like being excited that sin(pi)=0 or cos(pi)=-1. It doesn't really say anything meaningful or consequential, people like it only because of the symbols it includes. It feels kind of like a math meme that people like to repeat and I can't get behind it.

Maybe it's just not for me and I should just let other people like what they like.
Yes! Happy thanksgiving to all y'all (especially you dang)!
>Back on planet Earth, a review of the current scientific literature firmly disproves this thesis. Nasa satellite images clearly show the deserts are retreating, and on average there is a strong trend to global greening...

Canada is one of the few countries which pulled out of the United nations desertification action. For which Canada was penalized heavily. This is the same initiative that plans to plant trees across africa.

IPCC 2019 makes it quite clear that greenification is not happening and desertification is absolutely a huge problem.

> This isn't a company that took some initial VC money and turned it into profits.

If you do not think the $8M VC funding AMZN took in 1995 turned into profit, you are using a different definition of profit than most people.

> As a company that has not been making a profit and has constantly been issuing new shares, Amazon has factually been running on investor cash for 20 years.

Your macro trends link shows profit margins of 4% prior to 2010, and 4% after 2018. Walmart shows 3% or less on many years.

I do not even know what we are talking about anymore, but the numbers show that Amazon is investing into its business. I do not see proof they are undercutting competitors (Walmart/Target/etc).

In fact, Amazon’s retail prices have been consistently higher than their competitors, precisely because retail is a low margin game with little upside. The big money is in digital goods, which can scale easily with extremely high profit margins, such as AWS and Amazon Prime Video/Music.

I would bet Amazon’s retail play is now just a way to get the retail public to sign up for the recurring monthly revenue from video services, and to take the 15% profits off the top from reseller’s sales for being a platform. Amazon ideally does not want to be an actual retailer, that is a 3% profit margin business, as Walmart’s data shows. They want to be a platform, that is a 15%+ profit margin business.

And it is reflected on their website by them not allowing you to restrict searches for items shipped and sold by Amazon, and not competing on price (in my experience). Why would they want that inventory risk and stuff that comes with selling physical goods.

> What 'cultures' are you talking about? By far the most successful in human history have been modern democratic cultures which, very broadly speaking, focus on freedom.

Not for kids, which is what we’re talking about here. Read Roald Dahl’s books about British education. That’s the culture that built the greatest empire in history.

“Freedom” for kids, as opposed to rigid socialization, is a mid-20th century detour. And the cultures that practice it, mainly north Americans and Europeans, are either in decline or are being replaced from the inside by immigrants from cultures that don’t.

Precisely, and being comfortable with yourself not having sex is very important. It affirms others have their own agency not to have sex with you and also can teach you ways to love yourself without depending on the dopamine of sex. If you have a strong, overwhelming, negative emotional response to other people having sex, just because you’re not having it then that’s a real issue that can be addressed through whatever support network you have to work on whatever you have in yourself that the actions of strangers having a good time doing something unrelated to you somehow harms you.
