@icedquinn ::shoots you in the face shortly after you delete government::...
::Establishes new government in my image::
@shoshin The point is to get some solar panels on your roof. Like it or not the price likely is the result of taxes that are designed to encourage individuals to use solar power and avoid the costs.

@shoshin We just going to ignore Trumps historically massive QE he engaged in from the start of the coronavirus onward? Not only was it the most massive attempt at QE in history but QE is known to cause inflation in the years that follow it (which is why its rarely used).
That isnt to say Biden is innocent, he should be reducing spending (he is not) and using that money to pay off the QE induced debt Trump created. This could ultimately reverse the ongoing effects... But to blame biden along is just naive.

6 most common types of Bias when working with Data
https://www.metabase.com/blog/6-most-common-type-of-data-bias-in-data-analysis/
@Pat She was wrong on a lot of points, but it was subtle and she had the general idea well enough... A democracy is not a specific type of government, it is a property that many many different forms of government may adopt.
What she meant was, and she is correct, is that we are NOT a "direct democracy". This is an understanding linguistic confusion as the other technical term for direct democracy is "pure democracy". What we are, specifically is a "democratic republic" the reason people wrongly claim it isnt a democracy is either because they are confused with direct democracy or the fact that a democratic republic is usually just shortened to call it a "republic" or "representative government".
The wording is just confusing I guess. But you are right in your OP of course, the USA is a type of government that has a property of democracy, assuming we agree the voting system is fairly honest and not hijacked.
@robryk This is strange. At first when it loads it actually renders fine... after a few seconds it under redender and adds text inline in the message about a rendering error (doesnt say what)... then a few seconds later (and only after a few refreshes) do I get the white space version you see.
Did it behave that way for you?
As far as I can get its a crosss domain scripting error, so i will need to bring the mathjax files onto the local domain I guess.
@PetabyteStudios More or less yes. the ease of setup varies from one framework/language to another. But thats the general gist of a great many webapp frameworks across many languages yea

Why the standard way to describe rotational inertia of a body is to specify its moment of inertia matrix?
Moment of inertia matrices are somewhat weird: not every symmetric semipositive-definite matrix is a valid moment of inertia matrix (note that there can be no body that has nonzero moment of inertia about exactly one of its principal axes).
Moment of inertia matrix is expected to satisfy I_{around e} = e^T*I*e [0]. At the same time I_{around e} = \sum m_i*r_{perp to e}^2 = \sum m_i*(r_{b1}^2+r_{b2}^2) where b1 and b2 are some orthogonal basis of the surface perpendicular to e.
This creates a natural idea: if we define J := \sum m_i*r_i^T*r_i, then I = C^T*J*C (see [1] for value of C), _and_ every semipositive definite J corresponds to an object that could possibly exist.
So, why don't we use this J instead of I? I think it is less confusing, and seems to be way better e.g. if we're numerically trying to find a moment of inertia that optimizes for something.
[0] So I = \sum m_i*||r_i||^2*Proj_{perp to r_i}^T*Proj_{perp to r_i}
[1] C = \sum_{i != j}e_i^T*e_j (btw. it's not immediately obvious to me that this definition is invariant wrt orthonormal base change, and if you have a succinct description of why it is so, I'd appreciate seeing it)
@doliu666 yea guys got issues.
40 reshares since I posted this, apparently not many people knew this which is surprising.

Interesting fact of the day: The term "patching" software originates from the fact that you would literally patch holes in early hole punch input i...
@PetabyteStudios Yea, countless options really. Java has several different DSLs that accomplish this, windows has a few too. In fact its common place in almost every webapp framework in one sense or another.
@Acer You will find this sort of legacy stuff pretty common in win32 coding and windows in general. It is by no means nice clean code you might be used to working with other paradigms/languages/target systems
@Acer I coded win32 via C++/C wayyyyyy back in the day. Its been a long time. It wasnt a pleasant experience by any means IMO.
That said if you are coding win32 applications specifically using raw C/C++ win32 libraries then the closed source visual studios suite might be a decent choice simply because there arent that many choices specific to that niche that I know of.
But take that witha grain of salt because I havent touched windows specific code in many years now.
@Acer If you are talking about the closed source visual studios, then no its crap. I havent personally used it in years but everyone I hear from says its still crap. the open source VSC seems to be more liked.
@Acer Thats a matter of opinion. The open source visual studio seems to be popular with many programmers even some open-source coders who traditionally hate microsoft.
I personally would pick something like atom over VS which is similar in nature but IMO better. That said these are general IDEs that require plugins to work with a specific language and can sometimes be sketchy in that regard. Usually language specific IDEs, if one even exists, will be better at that (like using IntelliJ when coding in java).
I myself prefer spacemacs as my IDE. It has language integration but it isnt language specific. But being heavily keyboard based (you can still use the mouse) I find it is the best in terms of my personal productivity.
@Acer fuck hungarian notation. If you have a good IDE and/or well laid out code it should never be needed
