@realcaseyrollins Radical Feminism is a general term for any form of feminism that advocates for "extreme change". Its so broad as to not be very descriptive.. A TERF is a specific type of feminism centered around exclusion of transpeople from the community as if it somehow takes away women's rights... It is a far more specific description.

@mur2501 As a jeep wrangler owner I must say, while true, the whole point of a jeep wrangler is to go slow but up a mountain :)

@realcaseyrollins I am not sure "radical Feminist" is a specific enough description for a TERF. Radical feminism invokes entirely different notions IMO.

@louiscouture Why the hate for electron specifically?

@sj_zero The lockdowns need to end. No matter how much i may disagree with the anti-science Bs going around calling COVID a hoax or whatever else I 100% agree its time for lockdown to be over.

@mur2501 yea closed form is not garunteed to be computationally simple. But they do stand a better chance at at it. Sadly thats why its a tricky problem, i cant avoid at least some degree of trial and error. I've had some closed forms I had to reject as well.

Finding a fitting function could work. In a sensethe problem is already pretty much just me manually trying to find an efficient fitting function working backwards from a known graph.

@mur2501 I dont need unlimited precision. But there is a certain minimal level of acceptable precision. The more difficult aspect is delivering the level of needed precision while requiring minimal level of computation to get there.

@mur2501 the reason i need closed/form symbolic integration is because the integral will be used to compute real world costs. As such precision will have to be high enough that it can require quite a few terms to represent it accurately enough.

On top of that the problem is computationally sensative. That is, I need a solution where every single calculation has a significant cost to it. So a symbolic/closed form representation will be much easier to compute numerical values for than a large summation operation.

@mur2501 To put it another way, it wont have a closed form expression once integrated (numerical integration or taylor series or whatever would likely result in an infinite number of terms)

@mur2501 No thats not true, there are many functions that are continuous over the region being integrated but can not be symbolically integrated. You are correct however that it can always be numerically integrated.

@mur2501 the integrals themselves arent all that fancy... the issue is that i have a particularly complex graph that has speicifc properties but can be represented by dozens of different actual equations... i need to find an equation that gives the intended graph with the desired properties but is actually integratable (no taylor series or numerical integration).... Most forms I try are not integratable

The only difficult part here is that im kinda working in reverse. Instead of given an equation and asked to integrate it I know what sort of result I need and need to figure out the equation.

@mur2501 Looks a lot like my notebook right now.

@aexiruch I'd hate to see what sort of shit you do high :)

@icedquinn

The name sounds innocent enough.

@alex

Well back to work for me and an endless see of integrals... Anyway last night might have been a dead end but I think I have a good solution to try today

Always keep at least one stoner around for entertainment.

@realcaseyrollins

Well the title doesnt sound particularly hateful.. probably an MRA subreddit, which people are probably quick to want to ban. Depends on the content though.. MRA can be completely hate filled anti-feminist garbage, or sometimes quite respectable (whether you agree with an opinion or not).

I guess I'd need to know more to have an opinion. Reddit isnt exactly a freespeech space.

@alex

@trinsec cool them up, sounds delicious.
