  • So about 3150 pints of blood (10.5 being average for an adult).

    Sounds doable XD

    Edit: New ethical dilemma just dropped - kill 300 to forge the sword, or deny 3150 people blood in an emergency to forge the sword...

  • What is the area of the shaded region?
  • 13/4 was my original guess, when I checked I realised I'd forgotten to multiply by 2.

    I used the same method as clara (and my solution would have matched _)

    (Spent a lot of time convincing myself they met in the center)

  • Pdf partee
  • I have a rare medical condition that makes my coughs sound like "scihub" and "libgen" around undergrads.

    I would like to investigate it further to seek a cure, but sadly the medical journals I'd need access to are paywalled. Oh well.

  • Zero to hero
  • I'm arguing from the standpoint that we establish the idea of counting using the naturals - it's countable if it maps to the naturals, thus the link. Apologies for the lack of clarity.

  • Zero to hero
  • On the contrary - to be countabley infinite is generally assumed to mean there exists a 1-1 correspondence with N. Though, I freely admit that another set could be used if you assumed it more primitive.

  • The Greatest GPU of All Time: NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti & GTX 1080 2024 Revisit & History
  • To be honest, if a company produced cards as solid and stable as the 1080Ti I'd buy one as a spare today.

    I live in fear of mine dying of old age; when it does nothing seems to compare on the market at the moment in terms of vram, size, and power usage.

  • rule
  • I teach - I have to debate my basic human rights every day (sleep and time spent not working are apparently not rights I hold according to our more entitled students/managers).

  • Zero to hero
  • N is the set of "counting numbers".

    When you count upwards you start from 1, and go up. However, when you count down you usually end on 0. Surely this means 0 satisfies the definition.

    The natural numbers are derived, according to Brouwer, from our intuition of time of time by the way. From this notion, 0 is no strange idea since it marks the moment our intuition first begins _

  • Either ya understand why most women pick the 🐻 or you are the 🐻.
  • I suppose it's similar to the discussion older and more successful men have about avoiding "gold diggers", "bear traps", and "black widows". Not all women are after a man's money, but those that are will actively seek out such men, so you'll never be safe. One wrong move and you're suddenly working overtime the rest of your life to pay child support for a child conceived without your consent. Whereas, a bear would only run into us by chance, and would be more likely to leave us alone if we dropped our food and calmly walked away.

    Edited note for clarity and posterity: Stereotypes are always hilariously offensive - I think some people just learned that.

    For when you need something to test video playback on your old windows 95/98/XP friend (files and instructions in description).

    Blackboard Ultra

    We've received word that we're migrating from the older version of Blackboard to the new, "student approved", Blackboard Ultra.

    We'll be migrating our courses by hand over the summer; how bad is this going to be?

    A few years ago I stumbled onto this, and it provided a nice afternoon feature film. Figured the folks here would enjoy it!

    Might and Magic (Merged)

    Truly a test of patience - this is an excellent modpack that unifies 3 classics together into the way I dreamed of playing them as a kid.

    Found it by accident a week ago, and it's been my short nightly unwind (trying to do a solo run because I always wanted to).

    Thought I'd share this list as it contains many emus I've not heard of before and I'd love to hear people's reviews on any folks have tried.

    Puppy Linux UEFI (alternatives?)

    So, in the past, I used to make a bit of money fixing up comps for folks.

    With slightly trickier cases, I used to boot up puppy Linux to check the more essential hardwares (and if it booted, back up essential files for the customer). My students are now asking how to manage similar things.

    Alas, puppy is no good for a modern system, as it really does not like UEFI boot. I was wondering if anyone can recommend an alternative.

    I'm looking for a very lightweight gui os I that can run some hardware diagnostic tools, runs on a wide range of hardware, that is easy enough to set up on a pen for novice users.

    KGen98 - Emulation is DOS

    So, kgen98 was one of the first genesis emulators, and it runs on dos.

    I use it in one of my ICT classes (paired with a sonic 1 rom) on a floppy disk to demonstrate just how heavily compressed and optimised older games were.

    It's an oddball that is definitely worth trying out.

    Discworld MUD

    Thought I'd post this up here since I've not seen it mentioned. For those who want to explore the world of discworld, this is a great MUD.

    Very friendly community when I hop on every few months, and with a lot of rich detail from the books.
