There are also less extreme examples:

during a school trip with overnight stays, 2 of the teenage girls went out in the evening, even though it was forbidden. It was noticed after a while, so the teacher went looking for them. Just as he went out, they were about to come back(not too late). But they saw the teacher coming out - and hid themself, to not get in trouble in this moment. And this is of course when the real trouble started, because now the search started for real, with informing police about missing female students, big search etc.

Coming out right at the beginning would have meant been giving a warning ... but the hiding because of fear for the trouble made the trouble very big and got them close to being expelled. And anger from the others, because from then, everything was less fun with the teachers ..
You may have learned this in 5th or 6th grade, but I certainly didn't.

The point is that any working mathematician is comfortable manipulating sets in algebraic expressions and that's not something you expect from your average high schooler.

I could have added that mathematicians need to know at least about different cardinalities, but I guess strictly speaking you could be working in discrete maths and not care about any of this.

hg.sr.ht would not exist if not for being community maintained; the cost/benefit ratio does not work out in its favor were we to maintain it internally. The deal is that we provide infrastructure and operations but that the software itself is maintained by the community that needs it. I think this is an advantage of SourceHut's free software model and ethic that allows people to build what they need and to get its infrastructure needs met in a way that wouldn't be possible, for example, on GitHub.

There's not really much those devices can do - they're just metering, and don't have an active internet connection.

I don't think I advocated anywhere about "weaponizied" incompetence. I believe I was arguing that weaponizied incompetence is far fetched. My whole point engaging here with the many people I have has been to bring it back to what we know from the information we have. I'm more than willing to accept racism is the primary factor if racism was at all obvious from the article or even further information provided. The initial post I was replying to was a blanket statement that the accused person was first nation/aboriginal so the incident was racist. What has followed is ever more far fetched reasons for why it might be racist but no information to say it is so.

I was enjoying reading what you'd previously written but changed, about domain knowledge and how domain experts can guess based on the outcome what was likely going on inside the system (EDIT: paraphrasing from memory, so I hope I got it right). I'd never thought about it like that before, very interesting perspective. But even then you'd have to be careful to make bloody sure your assumption, experience based though it is, was actually factually correct before tarring someone with racism.

I hope my interactions here don't coming off as me dismissing people concerns/claims. I'm simply trying to take an objective view of the situation as presented. I'm aware that some people consider objectivity a problem in and of itself.
You are right, these are what matter and thanks for the suggestions.

On a related note, I had a new boiler installed last year with Vaillant's smart controls. There's a little puck shaped 'control unit' with WiFi/radio which allows the app to talk to it, and it to talk to the thermostat.

Like most people in the UK, the boiler's in the garage. A brick rectangle separate from the house. Did Vaillant include an ethernet port? You bet they didn't. The support team suggested I installed WiFi in my garage, which definitely wasn't going to happen.

I had to get the installer back and he ran the cable through the wall so it's now inside and working fine - but how did this ever make it to market? No wonder the reviews are all terrible.
The whole premise of the article is infuriating. The author claims using only lowercase _enhances_ legibility, maybe for them, but this is subjective at best, and incorrect for the general population of literate adults. Also lowercase compresses just as well as USING ONLY UPPER CASE would. You would get better compression result yet, f y lft t ll th vwls frm yr sntncs.

95% accuracy for a diagnostic test is not that impressive.

Wikipedia says one in 5 Americans will have a skin cancer in their lives. If each American has 10 moles, and we assume at most 1 is cancerous, that means a test which says "not cancerous" for all moles will have ~98% accuracy.

And 10 moles is an underestimation, not to mention that the same mole can be benign at first and develop cancer later, so we should really be looking over the number of moles * checkups, pushing the raw "accuracy" even higher.

Finding maplibre 'better' was more valid at the time than today, and is also subjective. The creators and maintainers of both libraries have done some great work (and are still doing so).

Back in January 2022, the stable version of leaflet, v1.7.1, was from September 2020, and was affected by some small bugs degrading the user experience. Although the release of following version seemed close, there was no clear schedule for it, and I had concerns about how maintained the library would remain.

As of today, the bug from 2015 where there is some white space between map tiles on fractional zoom levels [0] is still open.

Also, leaflet was a pain to integrate in Svelte Kit framework, because it depended on `window` and-or `document`, not available at server side.

Maplibre, on the other hands, with a feature set roughly equivalent to Leaflet, benefited from much more frequent releases, and seemed more stable across browsers and devices. It was also easier to make it work in Svelte kit.

AFAIK electrolysis will force you to utilize a scrubbing system anyways once you've got current passing through the water.
But getting conductivity acceptably low is much less demanding than getting it this extremely low.
E.g. some CO2 lasers are cooled with purified water to limit the current through it.

For example, I was surprised to see how much our electronics (stereo, amplifier, TV, etc.) in the living room use, even when off (some devices are older, with high standby currents). It motivated me to put everything on a timer that only turns power own in the evenings, since that's the only time they get used.

Ring circuits may have made sense in the past, but they really don't any more. It's basically impossible to test a ring circuit in place - you have to break the connection somewhere to ensure the ring is complete. That's a huge downside. They were conceived at a time when circuit breakers were expensive and wire was in short supply - neither is true now, yet people are still installing them.
Same. It was around that time I discovered Linux, and then the *BSDs. Before that, getting online required Trumpet Winsock. I did some tech support for an ISP up until 1998, so I had to know the stack, but rarely touched it myself. From the mid-2000s I moved to Apple, but only because I wanted a laptop with a unix command line and working bluetooth and that was _hard_ back then.

Just realised that means I've not owned a Windows machine - and barely touched one professionally or even much in my personal life - in almost 25 years now.

You talk about them like they are the enemy. Lots of people talk about them like you without a word of thanks without acknowledging how fucked we would be without the good ones out there. I am thankful we aren't living in a country where there is complete anarchy or horrible police corruption like in Mexico.

Municipal budgets aren't great and their pay and benefits should be better for the work they do. You and I being on this forum probably means we are paid way too much for not real jobs screwing around on computers. There is a reason we aren't cops and their hiring isn't great. It is a hard job where you literally risk your life and literally deal with the worst parts of society.

There are guns in America. It doesn't matter whether we think that's right or not, that's the world we live in. There are criminals out there, they exist. Should cops carry around tasers only?

Fair. But I strongly suspect nearly every house with a garage has the boiler in it.

Edit. So having done a little research this probably isn't the case. Maybe it's a regional thing, all the (mostly suburban) houses I've lived in and visited, in the north west of England, are set up that way.
Named arguments are great, but mathematical notation doesn’t have them. x(t) is not a named argument to f(x(t), t), so notation like ∂f(x(t), t)/∂x(t) is nonsense.

If we did have real named arguments like f(a=x(t), b=t), where a and b are fixed by the definition of f rather than arbitrary names to be made up on each invocation, then maybe it would make sense to write something like (∂f/∂a)(a=x(t), b=t). Though that’s still pretty far from Leibniz notation, where ∂f/∂a is somehow supposed to be a numerical value depending on a, not a function to which arguments must be supplied.

But what I think is really lacking in mathematical notation is explicit lambda abstraction: we should be able to write

(λt. f(x(t), t))'(t) = (λa. f(a, t))'(x(t)) x'(t) + (λb. f(x(t), b))'(t),

which reuses the ordinary one-variable derivative and has none of these ambiguities.
I think you have a good point. There are definitely historical wrongs that may influence someone's reading of a situation. Unconscious bias is a thing that we should all try and avoid, hard as is may be.

A simple conceptual description of a derivative is "speed".

To measure the speed of a moving object you must divide the distance moved by the time it took to move that distance.

So how can you measure what the speed is at a given location? In a sense you cannot, you can only measure it at a given interval over the period of time it took to move that distance.

So it is kind of confusing. dx/dy represents the limit of measuring the speed over increasingly small distances and durations around a given point in space and time. If you take dx to 0 and dy to 0 it does not make sense because 0/0 is ill-defined. Therefore we need some notation that implies we are really not talking about a single point, but an increasingly small distance, and duration.

If you take x as a stand-in for a number, then df/dx simply makes no sense, df/d(5) is either nonsense or division by zero. Your approach doesn't seem to make more sense out of Leibniz notation, unless I misunderstand what you mean by f(x) being an element of the range.
