@hasen_95dx Why would you have to nest them? You could also have a list of sum types. That saves you having to check a bunch of unset struct fields too.

@DonVal77623855 @damrid_ @H0H0v The internal force does not affect the center of mass, so the centers of mass on the left and right will fall synchronously. But the spring contracts, so the ball must move up towards the COM to compensate. Hence it hits the ground later.

@PhotonFiasco @Anthony_Bonato You integrated the second term incorrectly. If you differentiate ln|x^4 - x^3 + x^2 -x + 1|, you'll see that you get the wrong numerator.

@andrei_doronin @AlgebraFact An n-digit number is at least 10^(n-1), but the maximum factorial digit sum for an n digit number is at most n • 9!. For n≥8, 10^(n-1) > n • 9!, so we can exclude numbers with 8 digits or more, and brute force through all smaller numbers.

@lecternleader @Timodc She can do so by getting a job in the USA and paying taxes for the rest of her life. If she benefited from American education, you might as well let her contribute to the American economy.

@wanyeburkett You don't see walking as a mode of transport, only as an activity. The point of walkability isn't that you can go buy stuff as you go for a walk. The point is that it allows you to live your life using walking as a mode of transport. That you're not forced to have a car.

@matterasmachine @PatternRekogntn @fermatslibrary Yes, because everything on Earth experiences external friction. Only the Earth in its entirety does not experience any external friction.

@TravisMWhitaker @Marutks The rust compiler basically does the escape analysis for you, you just need to fix the mistakes. Though C++ compilers don't help you with that, so it sounds like you don't want to do the escape analysis at all.

@docllm @memecrashes Take the logarithm on both sides, then it becomes pretty easy to write x as a function of y

@gremor @ansonphong @pickover It's just a Riemann sum approximation of the Gaussian integral. Replace that 10^5 by a variable m and the 10^10 by m^2, let m->∞ and you get π exactly.

@Duncan31503119 @soypabloagustin @AlgebraFact It's an equivalence if you consider complex multiples of polynomials with real coefficients

@bonana420 @yacineMTB He modelled it mathematically. You can't derive physical laws from purely mathematical principles.

@JSchaper1 @paulg @igorsushko It's not surprising that they arrested him for breaking the law, the surprising thing is them making such a regressive law in the first place. The arrest just brings it to light.

@yacineMTB @archived_videos Speaking of antipatterns...

[Ben @boniqmin]

@FreyaHolmer It's linear in the sense that the second derivative is 0

@sadsciencee @mattpocockuk I know people aren't choosing JS, because the choice was made for them by the people designing the web. That's the stupid choice I was referring to.
If they hadn't chosen a language that was awful from the get go, there would've been a lot less baggage to deal with.

@HudsonDavis14 @CompletedStreet That becomes easier if you have good visibility, such as in low cars with sloped hoods, rather than high trucks with high flat hoods blocking a good part of your field of view

@BroksTricky @PR0GRAMMERHUM0R Linus didn't write the entire kernel either. It's an open source project with many contributors.

@Keegan59992745 Love this album but I feel like it's probably his most inconsistent. Some of his best writing and some of his most awful songs in there.
