Hmm… so an approach that would have gotten Rodeo’s point across better might have been to say,
“so anarchy is just another name for the purest form of democracy.”
Because democracy is such a broad word that it is occasionally applied to the United States, despite the CIA’s history of coups and the FBI’s history of extrajudicial assassinations of citizens.
Thanks for the well-written explanation, stranger.
Who knew a company with an unhealthy obsession with harvesting every screen tap of data from every person using their services… would chicken out from connecting their servers to a bunch of clients they couldn’t monitor.
… That said, I actually didn’t see this coming. It baffles me that I didn’t, but I didn’t.
Oddly enough, on a computer, I have not seen secant, cosecant, or cotangent.
I have seen sin, cos, tan, arcsin, arccos, and arctan.
Though the arc functions will only have one parameter, so if this is homework, you’ll probably be avoiding the arcs and using secant and friends
Anyways:
| Term | In this example |
|---|---|
| Parameter | Angle is the parameter. It’s in radians, so in Java you’ll use a conversion like Math.toRadians(a) on whatever number you’re going to use as an argument |
| Argument | If I were to call sin(Math.PI / 4) then I would be passing the argument π / 4 to the function. |
| In other words, if a parameter is a question, then an argument is an answer. If a parameter is a coin slot, than an argument is the coin you choose to insert. | |
| Operation | An operation is practically synonymous with “function”. It is performed on inputs to arrive at an output. However, usually in code, I hear “operation” used to describe things like /, *, and +. Things that have multiple inputs and a single output, all of the same form. |
If someone is asking you, "which operation should you use in the body of function sin ( hyponetuse, opposite ) then I imagine the expected answer would be, / because
/ is an operation, and becauseopposite / hypotenuse will perform the division that yields the sine of whatever triangle those two sides belong to.An algorithm is the meat of a function. It’s the “how.”
And if you’re using someone else’s function, you won’t touch the “how” because you’ll be interacting with the “what.” (You use a function for what it does.)
You will be creating your own algorithm by writing code, however. Because an algorithm is just a sequence of steps that, taken together, constitute an attempt at achieving an objective.
Haus is saying all the little steps that go into approximating sine occur directly on the hardware.
Even the babies have evil in their hearts.
It sounds like you were distressed and left because you didn’t know what to do or how to help.
That’s empathy. Feeling uncomfortable when you see people in pain is empathy. And it’s normal. It’s normal for you to feel distressed around her as you hear her account. It’s normal to want to leave. It’s normal to feel guilty about leaving. It’s normal to wonder if you could have done more to help catch the bastard.
This is awful. What you just saw is awful. What you just experienced is legitimately uncomfortable.
And it’s hard for people to wrap their heads around, because how could your pain be valid when it’s a response to seeing someone in “real” pain? How could your pain be important when it’s nothing more than the faint echo of the pain you’re witnessing someone else go through?
But it hurts. As selfish as it feels to hurt at a time like this, it still hurts.
Wow. That’s Linus Torvalds levels of screaming, “ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID?!”
People got really worked up back in 2008.
Oh no, if I think someone’s name is Joe and it turns out being Jeff, I feel atrocious.
Have you tried punching “batch recipes kale” into a search engine? (but instead of kale, put whichever vegetable you want to eat more of)
“Batch recipes” are basically like meal prep. And they often taste amazing.
My reasoning is: if you have leftovers in your fridge that are veggie-laden, tasty, and convenient, odds are you’ll be getting your veggies without even trying.
But now I live in Nevada. I will be voting for Biden because
He’s silently, steadily, baby-stepping us in the right direction. And that’s worth a vote of support, not just a vote for a lesser evil.
I didn’t. I was in California, so my vote was irrelevant anyways. I’ve been living with my mom, so I decided to use it to make a point.
I was like, “look Mom! I don’t approve of Biden’s hair sniffing, so I’m voting for Jorgenson! You can do the same! That’s an option!”
It didn’t work. She voted for Trump. (Don’t worry. She was also in California so her vote was also irrelevant). You’d think with her personal history, she’d have been AGAINST serial sexual predators… but I guess his cult of personality was just too strong. She still genuinely believes he “stood up to the globalists.”
When I went to community college, I’d arrive early to one theater class, and sitting there already (from a previous class, I believe) were two girls/women who somehow managed to fill 75% of their conversation, every time, with “Eragon was such a bad movie adaptation.”
Which taught me that the movie was so bad they it genuinely hurt fans of the novel.
Damn it, it’s now GNL and we have to rewrite all the textbooks!
I don’t think they were hue bulbs. I think they were just regular LED light fixture bulbs.
Oh. Huh. Gotta say, I wasn’t expecting to encounter anyone who had good experience with those bulbs.
That… blows a hole in my theory.
I still don’t regret the cheap, foreign light bulbs I got off of eBay (best LEDs I’ve bought thus far)… but maybe my family and I have just been unlucky with name brand LEDs.
Got cheap, no-name, unbranded LED bulbs off of eBay. Years later, not one of them had broken.
But Philips LED bulbs? Those things don’t last a year. In fact, none of the high-rated, “high quality,” top-ten-list, LED light bulbs have ever outlasted an incandescent in my experience.
If you want your LEDs to last, buy the no-name bulbs, guys. The Phoebus Cartel is still out there.
Not OP, but I imagine “carbon negative” sounds negative because it has the word “negative” in it.
When it fact “carbon negative” means you’re reducing carbon, which is generally regarded as a positive thing.
Something tells me T-Mobile’s got a little too much class solidarity to have any interest in reducing the profits of Charter Communications.
