    I think the simple one is x=0.999..., 10x=9.9999..., 10x-x=9.999...-0.999..., 9x=9, x=1

    If you're into notion I wanna recommend obsidian. It's got support for both of those and it's way more lightweight. If you use the tables and images a lot I will say notion is simp…

    I'd say they're about even, it has some things I enjoy more and some places I think The Martian was better, they're very similar in how they read though, if you didn't like The Mar…

    Their github [1] page is more helpful for this. Typst itself (as in the program that converts your input to a PDF) is free and open source under the Apache license, and the online …

    The government cares, the precision necessary for taxes is sub cent as mentioned in some replies to the top comment on this post.

    Have you checked out processing or p5js? They both seem like they'd be well suited to something simple like this, they're not game engines they're graphics libraries but they're ve…

    It does, kind of. It's not really officially advertised but it is first party, this guide [0] shows how to find it but it's just https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id…

    It gives the networks money but it also hurts the companies actually running the ads, which would disincentivize them to do it at all, and the networks will only make more money if…

    I see what you mean, you're probably right that it would help, but honestly I just don't think the people hitting it are reading it in the first place. It doesn't light up until th…

    It seems you didn't read the article, it specifically talks about people are already buying accounts for $30 or less to be able to make accounts in areas where you're not allowed t…
