(that’s the vim command that removes html and leaves behind the unformatted text).

Also, piratesexmachine420, you have an excellent pfp. Triangles are good.

This meeting could've been an elaborate and transfixingly beautiful flag semaphore transmission.

Ok so apparently I had to close the path notes by typing :q before it would do anything so I think I lose actually

Don't poweroff while in the middle of package upgrades every three days challenge. Difficulty level: what the fuck is wrong with me

So I’m not saying any details, but there’s def an email address out there whose password is the first 8 digits of the Fibonacci sequence

i am such a big fan of the fibonacci sequence the fibonacci sequence is my phone passcode <3

They are, of course, not contradictory. I misunderstood your point, and totally agree that beautiful details come out in the rigor.

Also, that’s a wonderful illustrative example. Thanks.

Potentially a hot take but the whole point of mathematics, especially pure mathematics is to be pedantic. We want to be sure what we're doing makes logical sense.

Sure you have experiments to back up your flimsy mathematical arguements but we care about details because that's what maths is.

I didn't expect to be so annoyed by this take.

It's a reasonable take.

But also the point of mathematics is the exploration of beautiful truths, and the more we lose sight of that, the worse off we are.

Sure we have pedantry to back up, prove, and clarify our beautiful observations, but the observing is the fun part.

(Just read some of and highly recommend Martin Weissman's "An Illustrated Theory of Numbers" and holy cow is it beautiful)

Gnome is the only DE that plays nice with zoom out of the box as of early 2020. Source: I tried a lot of other things first and the fucking sound didn’t work. Admittedly, every once in a while, gnome tells me that my only speaker is named Dummy Audio and when that happens I have to run pulseaudio and ^C before it finishes telling me that pulseaudio is already running. Promptly after killing the audio daemon in this way, everything works in a lovely fashion for the next day or so.

Stop talking shit about Linux Desktop Environments!

KDE is Pretty! XFCE is Efficient! Gnome... Mate is Traditional!
