Wolf314159@startrek.websiteto Science Memes@mander.xyz•TFW you open a 160MB math textbookEnglish26·4 days agoBecause vector graphics take up much less space. That’s the joke.
Now I’m going to put the joke out of it’s misery.
Most of the illustrations, formula, tables etc. in a math book could be vector graphics, most of them were in 90% of the upper level math text books I’ve ever had, usually in only 2 colors. Many math formulas can be represented and formatted directly using only Tex or LaTex. Mostly physics and math involving more than two dimensions would have more raster images, even color. But it’s not like the publishers are going to be handing out PDFs with original vector graphics embedded. That would make high quality knockoffs trivial.

Wolf314159@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What would you do if you felt you were being asked to do something unethical at work?4·9 days agoSo, given your work history, where do you stand on the Clerks deathstar contractor debate?
Wolf314159@startrek.websiteto Superbowl@lemmy.world•'One of a kind' reddish snowy owl appears to be returning to 'normal'2·10 days agoI feel like all the photos this singular animal has suddenly appeared in pretty much proves that if cryptids like Bigfoot existed we’d have much better photos evidence of them.
Wolf314159@startrek.websiteto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired?2·13 days agoThanks for further proving my point.
Wolf314159@startrek.websiteto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired?3·13 days agoDitto. The plastics floss/pick combos work even better. Being thinner and super flexible, they are less likely to cause damage and reach the tiny crevices better.
Wolf314159@startrek.websiteto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired?5·13 days agoYou just repeated your claims without explaining them or backing them up with any details. You sound like someone selling essential oils and crystals as medicine. Try again?

Wolf314159@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•Commerce Secretary Urges Fox News Viewers To Buy Tesla Stock: ‘Elon Musk Is Probably the Best Person To Bet On!’2·22 days agoIn certain contexts the opinions of some federal officials is quite a bit more than “simply giving an opinion”. The most obvious examples being the chairman of the Federal Reserve and the Commerce Secretary.
Wolf314159@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•"I Let My Little Kids Run Wild in Public. Join Me!" Opinions4·22 days agoYou seem to be implying that you are somehow more entitled to that public space than kids. Sounds like something an entitled little bitch would say. Are you an entitled little bitch? Public space is for the public, ALL the public. If let your own hangups lead you to bullying the most naive and impressionable of us, then you are sacrificing other people’s freedom. And if you are people like this then I say, “fuck you too”. The social contract of public space doesn’t entitled you to be unbothered by other people.
To be clear I am in no way excusing parents that do not actually parent their children, especially in public. However the logic of the above comment is just a bunch of “get off my lawn” anti-social ME generation boomer energy. Also, kind of telling that the parent commenter just doesn’t see the parallels between their entitled attitude and everyone else’s entitlement. It’s a public space, if you can’t be compassionate, you don’t deserve it any more than anyone else.

Setting up Jellyfin is easy until you want access outside your LAN. Setting up TLS or a VPN is a hassle I don’t want unless there is no other option. Plex has features I (and my family) use that jellyfin doesn’t support by default yet. Last I checked syncing of files for offline viewing in the official app wasn’t very good yet. Plex has a bunch of ad supported live streams baked in that aren’t too bad. There is a “How It’s Made” channel, a Mythbusters channel, and Top Gear channel. PlexAmp isn’t perfect, but it’s better than any of the Jellyfin options I’ve seen.
Wolf314159@startrek.websiteto politics @lemmy.world•There It Is: RFK Jr. Suggests Best Strategy For Combatting Measles Is For Everyone To Get It5·25 days agoExcept that none of that is accurate and leaves out the crucial detail that getting measles destroys your body’s antibody memory used to fight all the other diseases your body had already learned to fight. It also ignores the horrific and totally avoidable deaths that also resulted.
Wolf314159@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do I stop thinking about how many hours there are left on the weekend?1·28 days agoBull. This is corporate propaganda for the grind culture, the same capitalist culture that is currently grinding the middle class into the gutter.
I love my job. I’m pretty fucking good at it, probably wouldn’t be much good at anything else. But, I wouldn’t do it for free. I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t need a job. And I still get burnt out on the constant demands it makes on my time and energy. Turns out, humans value play over obligation. We are most fulfilled, happy, and joyful at play. Play is like the opposite of obligation. The only thing worse than being forced to work is watching as your play (fulfilling thing you enjoy doing) turns to work (that thing you’re obligated to do for survival).
It’s the time that is the difference, not the bullshit fallacy of “do what you love”. If we could all survive off of a 3-4 day work week and a 3-4 day weekend, that might actually make a dent on those problems. We might all find we’re all a lot less stressed, fulfilled, and able to connect more meaningfully with the rest of humanity.
Every university needs a cool bug guy. And no matter what discipline you’re in, your college experience will be better for knowing them. Kind of like the groundskeeper at Starfleet Academy, Boothby
How is a zig-zag numbering any less valid than any other method? Your mapping a two dimensional space with what is essentially a line. Sometimes it doesn’t make sense for there to be discontinuities in the numbering, as one would have to do if the numbers always incremented in the same direction. Would you prefer that the numbers follow the path of a Hilbert Curve?
To answer your question though, surveyors have been using this method to number sections of land for much longer than you or I have been alive.
