Grif:
It’s one of life’s great mysteries isn’t it? Why are we here? I mean, are we the product of some cosmic coincidence, or is there really a God watching everything? You know, with a plan for us and stuff. I don’t know, man, but it keeps me up at night.
Simmons:
…What?! I mean why are we out here, in this canyon?
Oh, I love this one!
🎵Eeooh eeoh eeeeeeee! cghghcghcghrshhhhhh!🎶
For me it was a bit different though, because the song was kept alive in rural areas until the horrors of Hugh’s Net (and Wild-Blue-Exeed-ViaSat)
I also get annoyed at lightning fast responses. And I agree 100%
It takes no time or energy to come up with one answer to a question. I’m fact, I think most humans’ brains are built for snap decisions like that.
But to weigh multiple answers against each other, poking holes in the answers you are most inclined to believe? That takes thought. And if someone is not doing that for you, then odds are, their brain is simply letting them take the discussion less seriously than your brain (or your morality) allows.
So I think you have every right to feel frustrated at such behavior.
I think if you’re a right winger in the stock market who still has money (hasn’t lost it all yet), you’ve proven yourself capable of at least enough double-think for your WORDS to say “the market is in shambles! The economy is trash! Biden is destroying America!” while your ACTIONS express confidence in all of the things supposedly doomed by our supposed dictator Biden.
Hmm… so an approach that would have gotten Rodeo’s point across better might have been to say,
“so anarchy is just another name for the purest form of democracy.”
Because democracy is such a broad word that it is occasionally applied to the United States, despite the CIA’s history of coups and the FBI’s history of extrajudicial assassinations of citizens.
Oh, you’re coming from Ubuntu! That’s a much more manageable transition.
Yeah, going directly from Windows to NixOS is a harsh transition.
Oddly enough, on a computer, I have not seen secant, cosecant, or cotangent.
I have seen sin, cos, tan, arcsin, arccos, and arctan.
Though the arc functions will only have one parameter, so if this is homework, you’ll probably be avoiding the arcs and using secant and friends
Anyways:
| Term | In this example |
|---|---|
| Parameter | Angle is the parameter. It’s in radians, so in Java you’ll use a conversion like Math.toRadians(a) on whatever number you’re going to use as an argument |
| Argument | If I were to call sin(Math.PI / 4) then I would be passing the argument π / 4 to the function. |
| In other words, if a parameter is a question, then an argument is an answer. If a parameter is a coin slot, than an argument is the coin you choose to insert. | |
| Operation | An operation is practically synonymous with “function”. It is performed on inputs to arrive at an output. However, usually in code, I hear “operation” used to describe things like /, *, and +. Things that have multiple inputs and a single output, all of the same form. |
If someone is asking you, "which operation should you use in the body of function sin ( hyponetuse, opposite ) then I imagine the expected answer would be, / because
/ is an operation, and becauseopposite / hypotenuse will perform the division that yields the sine of whatever triangle those two sides belong to.An algorithm is the meat of a function. It’s the “how.”
And if you’re using someone else’s function, you won’t touch the “how” because you’ll be interacting with the “what.” (You use a function for what it does.)
You will be creating your own algorithm by writing code, however. Because an algorithm is just a sequence of steps that, taken together, constitute an attempt at achieving an objective.
Haus is saying all the little steps that go into approximating sine occur directly on the hardware.
It sounds like you were distressed and left because you didn’t know what to do or how to help.
That’s empathy. Feeling uncomfortable when you see people in pain is empathy. And it’s normal. It’s normal for you to feel distressed around her as you hear her account. It’s normal to want to leave. It’s normal to feel guilty about leaving. It’s normal to wonder if you could have done more to help catch the bastard.
This is awful. What you just saw is awful. What you just experienced is legitimately uncomfortable.
And it’s hard for people to wrap their heads around, because how could your pain be valid when it’s a response to seeing someone in “real” pain? How could your pain be important when it’s nothing more than the faint echo of the pain you’re witnessing someone else go through?
But it hurts. As selfish as it feels to hurt at a time like this, it still hurts.
Wow. That’s Linus Torvalds levels of screaming, “ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID?!”
People got really worked up back in 2008.
Oh no, if I think someone’s name is Joe and it turns out being Jeff, I feel atrocious.
Have you tried punching “batch recipes kale” into a search engine? (but instead of kale, put whichever vegetable you want to eat more of)
“Batch recipes” are basically like meal prep. And they often taste amazing.
My reasoning is: if you have leftovers in your fridge that are veggie-laden, tasty, and convenient, odds are you’ll be getting your veggies without even trying.
But now I live in Nevada. I will be voting for Biden because
He’s silently, steadily, baby-stepping us in the right direction. And that’s worth a vote of support, not just a vote for a lesser evil.
I didn’t. I was in California, so my vote was irrelevant anyways. I’ve been living with my mom, so I decided to use it to make a point.
I was like, “look Mom! I don’t approve of Biden’s hair sniffing, so I’m voting for Jorgenson! You can do the same! That’s an option!”
It didn’t work. She voted for Trump. (Don’t worry. She was also in California so her vote was also irrelevant). You’d think with her personal history, she’d have been AGAINST serial sexual predators… but I guess his cult of personality was just too strong. She still genuinely believes he “stood up to the globalists.”
When I went to community college, I’d arrive early to one theater class, and sitting there already (from a previous class, I believe) were two girls/women who somehow managed to fill 75% of their conversation, every time, with “Eragon was such a bad movie adaptation.”
Which taught me that the movie was so bad they it genuinely hurt fans of the novel.
Damn it, it’s now GNL and we have to rewrite all the textbooks!
I don’t think they were hue bulbs. I think they were just regular LED light fixture bulbs.
Oh. Huh. Gotta say, I wasn’t expecting to encounter anyone who had good experience with those bulbs.
That… blows a hole in my theory.
I still don’t regret the cheap, foreign light bulbs I got off of eBay (best LEDs I’ve bought thus far)… but maybe my family and I have just been unlucky with name brand LEDs.
I see the question differently.
Tl;Dr:
I think OP is hoping to read the 21st century equivalent to Muck Rakers.
Long version:
A whole lot of improvement in American quality of life came about as a result of publications and journalists called Muck Rakers in the 19th and 20th centuries.
They didn’t cover false stories. They simply covered stories that newspapers owned by capitalists tried to cover up. Things like, “physical abuse inside of Factory A” or, “employees at factory B reject union contract.”
It’s similar with r/antiwork. Most of America never realized why PopTarts were shipped with serious defects for a few months in late 2021. To most people, the quality declined out of nowhere, with no explanation.
And I don’t think most people realized the real reason California’s ports got congested. (It was a bill designed to protect gig workers – it required shipping companies to pay truck drivers for the time they spent waiting for their trucks to be loaded (instead of just the time they spent driving)).
People didn’t know because, even if current events directly impact everyone’s lives, all it takes is a few corporations deciding, “you don’t need to know about that” and access to the information through mainstream channels is shut off.
Everyone using r/antiwork knew though. They knew why there was a shipping crisis, and they knew why the glue that was supposed to seal the outside of the box of Cheez-its was now instead gluing the individual Cheez-its together.
News that wasn’t considered, “newsworthy” outside of r/antiwork got intense coverage on that subreddit.
And yeah, the subreddit was certainly biased against those corporations. But biased or not, its users were more up-to-date on those events than anyone outside of the sub.
I don’t think OP is asking for a leftist perspective on the same current events everyone else is covering. I think OP is asking for true, well-investigated stories that capitalists simply won’t air on the major networks.
You know: Muck raking.
