  • nmtui is the best, I just wish network manager played a little better with wireguard

  • One short story explains the other

  • I was crossing the road, looking both ways, when the egg

  • E   G   G

  • I was gonna ask why the reporter is wearing sunglasses indoors, but then I noticed the teeth

  • Is it not the 5 course dinner kicking in?

  • Me: "I must go now, my planet needs me."

    Them: "Don't you live on Earth?"

    Me: (already outside)

  • The lyrics of the rest of the song aren't that great

     
             Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber
             Why I'm here, I can't quite remember
        The Surgeon General says it's hazardous to breathe
                   I'd have another cigarette
        But I can't see, tell me who you're gonna believe
    
                Take me down to the Paradise City
        Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
    
    
      

    So either the chorus is pure sarcasm, or his day to day to life is so unbearable that he genuinely wishes to go back to a time/place where the grass is green, and a time when he was still attracted to women

  • I stand throbbingly by my statement

  • Yandex is deptessingly good

  • Im an anything bird - by that I mean that caffeine dictates my schedule.

    If I work UK timezones, then my last coffee is at 3pm and I'm in bed by 11:59pm and up at 8ish.

    If I work US timezones, then my last coffee is at 8pm and I'm in bed by 4am and up at 12:01pm

  • Yeah, I might. Are you afraid of seeing grown men cry? Prick. I'm gonna enjoy slicing you next to garlic and frying the bejesus out of you

  • I have a high school friend who owns a paper mill. He was a rich kid who never did the work, and always took credit for others work.

    He has an h-index of 90 and 200,000 citations. He is not a professor.

  • Yeah, run checkupdates in a timer, and then in your script invoke checkupdates -n

    https://man.archlinux.org/man/checkupdates.8

     
        
    -n, --nosync
    Do not sync the temporary database, works   
    best when the temporary database is   
    updated regularly through some other   
    means such as a cronjob or systemd timer.

  • Amazing that Karl Marx's long-lost hollywood brother said this

  • For (1), we started with the Maclaurin series 1/x to get us familiar with the idea of differential expansions, and then we moved to Taylor to derive expansions of some common functions like cos and sin:

    cos(x) = 1 - x2/2! + x4/4! - ...
    sin(x) = x - x3/3! + x5/5! - ....

    We now start with the definition of ex Taylor expansion, and proceed to do some substitutions:

    ex = 1 + x + x2/2! + x3/3! + .... + xn/n!

    We can then substitute in: x=iθ (remembering that i2 = -1) to get

    e = 1 + iθ - θ2/2! - iθ3/3! + θ4/4! + iθ5/5! + ... etc...

    If we group by real and complex, we can arrange the above as:

    e = (1 - θ2/2! + θ4/4! + ... ) + i(θ - θ3/3! + θ5/5! + ... )

    You should now realise that the left part resembles the expansion of cos(θ), and the right part resembles sin(θ). That is:

    e = cos(θ) + i sin(θ)

    Finally, we substitute in θ = π

    e = cos(π) + i sin(π)

    And we know that cos(π) = -1, and that sin(π) = 0, meaning that we end up with

    e = -1 + i 0

    or

    e + 1 = 0

    The teacher got excited because it is literally one of the most beautiful mathematical statements you can get, that connects five universal identities under a single statement: 0, 1, e, i, and π -- and does so using 3 different operators (times, power, plus).

    For (2), I'm still waiting as I think it's currently holding the world together by sheer mass alone

  • A delicacy in some parts, no doubt
