@Wisdom_HQ Fill 13 kg jar. Pour 5kg from it into 5kg jar and back into pile. Left 8kg, pour that onto separate pile. Now fill 13kg jar again, pour out twice into 5kg jar. Left is 3kg. Pour that onto 8kg pile on floor to get 11kg total

@kaavyya That was in 2015, I was living by myself. Laid off in July, joined another job, but stayed sad. Was a dylan o'brien fan. Felt totally lost and not good enough career-wise. I didn't do much that year, I think.

@Finance_Weights Entirely reasonable. It might be fun.

Animals are so cute and cozy. That's how I see them even if they are not in reality. As a kid I read stories about living on a farm. Keeping hens & ducks and growing vegetables and making my own butter etc. Having my own pet dog. Yes, they were enid blyton stories. I loved them.

The older I get, the more I enjoy short intervals of aimless chatting. Its regulating and breaks the monotony of everyday routines. I don't talk much. I enjoy being a fly on the wall too.

Trying to learn Math from scratch as an adult while trying to understand AI is challenging.

I keep forgetting things, relearning them, getting lost, then 'getting' it a little.

But I have started enjoying being in the “math world”.

@hellonehha I often wonder what I will be doing at 50, I hope there will still be places that will want me in tech...
And I will want to be there..

[Debamitra Mukherjee @debamitra_]

@amuldotexe I would like to be 50 years old and doing hands on technical work.

Reading Chapter 5: Encoding and Evolution today.
- comparing tradeoffs between JSON vs binary formats like Protocol Buffers and Avro

Function vs Equation - whats the difference?

Function generates output for an input, it is a rule.

Equation is a statement where one expression is equal to another, we solve for when the statement is true.

@angshuhere Nice! I will start storage and retrieval today!
I am curious about the differences between how relational, document and graph dBs store data and how each is optimized for different use cases.

[Debamitra Mukherjee @debamitra_]

@angshuhere I am reading "Data Models and Query Languages" now. What about you?

[Debamitra Mukherjee @debamitra_]

@amuldotexe Fun!

[Debamitra Mukherjee @debamitra_]

@amuldotexe @vaibhaw_vipul @dprophecyguy @sheetalssr @EigenVectorizer Hard agree!

[Debamitra Mukherjee @debamitra_]

The limit of a function f(x) as x approaches a no. is the value that f(x) gets closer and closer to. Now f(x) maybe undefined at x exactly, but the limit doesn’t care about that at all.

Why is it useful?

Helps define stuff like what happens when some x goes to 0 or infinity.
