    When you're multilingual, you'd switch between languages on the fly, mid-sentence even, just because the words in other language come to your mind quicker, seem to better match nua…

    It's decent. Treatment of franchisees, on the other hand...

    And alliteration for extra cool.

    As I see it, the name fits perfectly. If the superellipse is a square at n -> inf and a circle at n = 2, then in-between... welp, a squircle.

    I was with you until I remembered the default unit for angles in calculators is degrees, not radians.

    I'm honestly out of the loop, what are they doing?

    I've, in turn, heard much praise for how Estonia is doing it.

    Scunthorpe problem seems to be showing in the latter case.

    I was involved in the 99,999th and the 100,000th one in my FQA days. We were being onboarded, they were just for demo and were promptly deleted. No one cared about the Cool Numbers…

    And a proof by "counting something ": 1 + 2 + ... + n = n(n+1)/2 2 divides n(n+1), n(n+1) = 2m 7 * n^3 + n = 2*(3*n^3 + n) + n^3 - n = 2*(3*n^3 + n) + n(n+1)(n-1) = 2*(3*n^3 + n + …

    I'm trying to have fun continuing this with the reals, and I'm feeling dizzy.

    Congrats on finding time! Maybe this will push me to get back to my nib stash, ha. Got any experience with adapting fountain pen inks for calligraphy?

    I concur. Consider TFA. The symbols are not converted to from ASCII smileys and are used like an extension of the charset. Conversely, I remember web chatrooms in the mid-00s, wher…

    Isn't it?! There's plenty of talking about how "we're regressing to hieroglyphs", but that doesn't capture the nuance in usage of emojis in different languages. Your example expand…

    Per a nitty exploitable quote, do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down? You can generalize addition to semigroups but that's not a point, eh?

    Too(?) much of the same. I've seen enough of the word "masculine" as if it was an insult and conversely speaking of femininity like a virtue per se that I can't resist a double tak…
