The only field where it’s actually justified: math. In math, every time has an exact definition behind it, and you have to use the exact term.

They’re testing a function where it quickly skips to a point most people skip to effectively skipping sponsors. At least I got that experiment.

That’s not really correct. While yes, ads don’t pay great, this is generally the case, and maintaining servers with these amounts of data is really expensive. And with YouTube premium, actually, YouTubers get paid quite well. You can take a look at the LTT finances video. They make more money from premium than from YouTube ads, even though only a small fraction has it.

In German, we have “Wenn Fliegen hinter Fliegen fliegen, fliegen Fliegen Fliegen nach”. Notice that all nouns are capitalized in German.

Just to add some formality to this, the original commenter might want to look up the shell theorem for classical mechanics and Birkhoff’s theorem for general relativity.

Yeah, quantum mechanics lingo: measurement = interaction

Actually a good point, tho. And also a good thought: If there is no special direction, what would be up? And that’s where quantum mechanics gets even weirder: It’s either up or down in the direction you measure.

In our current understanding of physics, it’s an effect from the curvature of space and not a force. Quantizing gravity results in unphysical divergences. Whether there will be a way to model gravity as an exchange of particles, we can’t know for sure. So according to our current knowledge, it’s not a force.

Well, firstly, we can quantize gravity pretty easily, it just has unphysical divergences.

But secondly, I think it makes most sense to talk about the current accepted physics because we don’t know how quantum gravity will work.

Gravity isn’t a force tho…

In higher math, sum and product don’t necessarily have anything to do with the sum and product we know, but are just operations with certain properties.

In this case, a product is just a collection of multiple types, e.g. a tuple. An example would be a pair of index (integer) and value (e.g. a string) when iterating over a list.

A sum on the other hand is more of an or. In many languages, this is called something like an enum. If for example, your program should support both integers and floating point numbers, you would need the sum type int | float.

The only thing I quickly found is this paper, which says that learning multiple things is not better nor worse than one thing at a time, but it also states in the abstract that cognitive psychologists believed up to that point that mixing multiple topics is beneficial.

That is actually not backed by science. Mixing material is a lot more effective than focusing on one thing.

So in Germany, only medical doctors are allowed to prescribe medicine, and therapists are not doctors, but psychologists. Medicine against psychological issues are prescribed by psychiatrists (Psychiater), who are doctors focused on psychology. As far as I know, you are usually referred to a psychiatrist by a therapist, but I’m not sure on that point.

The meme is talking about a legend about Gauß.

But you don’t remove the appendix preemptively, but if it’s medically necessary - same way circumcision should work.

You’re right, I did not know that. Thanks!

Isn’t // integer division?

Correction: You’d need to travel with a speed higher than the vacuum speed of light.

Or Kenya, I guess.
