I used to hang around with the late 90s's versions of these guys. I grew up, had a family, have had a successful career. They went to prison. I expect the same will happen to this lot.

Old enough to do the job, too young to ask the right questions.

Good point. Urgh.

Perhaps he's a LISP programmer and has some spare brackets floating around :-)

Exactly that.

Scheduling is a consensus thing and the consensus may or may not be reached until AFTER the event.

Can we defend software (and encryption) integrity against the EU and UK security regime as well please. I'm far far more concerned about that.

I'm at the state of thinking that I am quite happy to let them screw themselves with it. I am very good at clearing up disasters and getting paid a hell of a lot for it as the deciding factor isn't your ability to use an LLM but to know what the hell you are doing. We have had quite a few disasters due to inexperienced and experienced people throwing stuff into an LLM and assuming it has any veracity or authority over what comes out.

I tried warning at first and reinforcing validation but I was poo pooed as a spoilsport luddite with basically a faith argument. Not my fucking funeral!

Worth nothing you don't need squared for mathematics. Not even slightly. Most of the stuff is written in English with a few lines of other stuff between.

It's not that.

You know when you go to a foreign country, ask for a particular thing in a restaurant proudly in their language that you picked up on Duolingo the week before and the waiter starts talking to you quickly in their language and you lose it completely.

We are just that waiter. You didn't learn the language or get the prerequisite skills. So do that or don't bother. It's not easy and there are no shortcuts.

No they didn't use them because they ran out. You know nothing about mathematics clearly. There are conventions to keep it concise. Some definitions of simple things would be unreadable if you used longer names. Consider the quotient rule:

    k'(x)=(g(x)f'(x)-f(x)g'(x))/(g(x)^2

Or in your world apparently

    quotient'(expression)=(left_expression(expression)right_expression'(expression)-right_expression(expression)left_expression'(expression))/(left_expression(expression)^2

Yeah, no.

Surprisingly I've just gone through the last 30 pages of mathematical work I've done and there's a couple of π in ∫ there and that's it.

Just tell the dock to auto hide. I don’t use stage manager. I don’t know why it exists to be fair.

Window management is “meh” but I don’t care. I use virtual desktops and the desktop Apple magic touchpad. Good enough.

Similar situation. The P0 interest tends to immediately cease when there is sticky tape mitigation in place as well. There is no resolution. It just dangles waiting to bite again.

People struggle at basic mathematics because they don't need it for daily use in society. And you forget things when you don't use them.

You'll also find that most people do the same stuff they would have done without a calculator still without a calculator. The advantage now is when they do reach for the calculator they aren't working with perhaps 2 digits precision like the slide rule that preceded them or having to tabulate large amounts of figures to maintain precision.

The use of the Greek alphabet is mostly driven by convention. You get used to it. They aren't just sprayed around randomly wherever you look.

As for your code, urgh. A mathematician would carefully define what the function and operands are and the domain of each. More, and I'm vasty simplifying here as I don't have LaTeX available. I don't know what your code does so I've invented some words.

Let f(x,y) represent the rate of change of doodads where x is the number of doodads and y is the amount of doodads per gronk.

    f(x,y) = ( x^2 + y^2 ) ^ (1/2)

That's pretty tight and clearer than the code is.

It does. They just usually don't have cash on hand to get out of the fuck ups from doing zero rational financial analysis and disappear in a puff of smoke 6 months down the line.

I used plain for a few years but it has some problems. I now use faint lined paper. Usually Muji notebooks. I leave a blank line between each statement. The lines are handy if you want to make something readable and well aligned which is fairly important. Scans fine.

My kids were forced to use heavily marked blue squared paper. They had problems writing and reading. I pointed this out to their mathematics teacher and said that it may be detrimental and got a diatribe of “what do you know”. Such a bad attitude. I had an answer to this which was embarrassing to him.

It’s shit and string. Gone back to vim.
