This is the Realm of Simply Beautiful Art

People who don't accept, and reflect on, kind criticism just shut themselves off to learning

Star this if you want to keep the room private.

Ahh okay do not drive and derive.

@shredalert raises glass for a toast: Here's to the summer!!

Very sad to see Jyrki resign as a moderator. :(

Please avoid saying things that can offend other people.

Code the largest number you can in any language in the given link, using at most 256 characters (not including spaces, as judged by Microsoft Word), without calling in any large constants (like the current time) or importing functions from outside sources. You are given infinite running time and infinite memory, and judgement and which number is largest will be placed on my shoulders, unless I cannot decide, then we will take the matter to MSE. Thank you and enjoy

@Knight: As sai-kartik suggested, you can read the policies they have on donations. And if you want more advice perhaps you can ask your parents what they think as well. As Xander mentioned, many organizations ask for donations repeatedly. In case you're not aware, wikipedia has done this many times already. I recall seeing it about once every few years.

@SimplyBeautifulArt You'll sleep more comfortably if you take off your suit of armor, first, and put on, for the night, some jammies.

It might sound like evangelicalism from the logic crowd, but natural deduction is an essential part of a mathematician's toolkit if you want to be able to write your own proofs.

Statistics is like the Dementors of mathematics students. Sucks all the happiness out of you. @_@

There's a funny joke I saw once: The more cheese, the more holes. The more holes, the less cheese. Therefore, the more cheese, the less cheese.

You've been told to knock it off with the drama. By many people with the capacity and requirement to enforce "be nice". You violate that rule at your own risk. (So, knock it off, and don't keep going with drama)

@SimplyBeautifulArt Yeah .. I have read all your posted questions..... seems you might win Fields Medal some day...

What is more frustrating right now is the insistence of certain users that they should be able to use the site however they most "enjoy" it, and that they should not be held to any kind of standard.

@VidyanshuMishra I see only see he's been active most recently on meta. No matter how much knowledge a person has if they don't know how to act like a decent human being, perhaps they need to be "gone".

**sighs** people are annoying sometimes sadly.

Star this if you want to make the room public.

@SimplyBeautifulArt I'd gently nudge you towards learning basic logic, after which you won't ever need to ask for critiquing of your reasoning again. =)

@aminliverpool: Stop dumping messages about your idea of MSE University here in SBA's realm. He has already told you that he does not welcome it. If you do it again we may have to think about kicking you out of this room, so please don't do it again.

@amWhy yeah, I often will read before heading to bed too, and yeah, sometimes you just need to crash... like now. Goodnight!

when you are tired of reading a book so you relax by reading a book. xD

That's the objective reason. The subjective reason is because teachers ought to care for their students period.

Which is why I'm sure everyone here will agree logic needs to be taught in secondary school.

Thank goodness for the internet

@Zophikel You are doing very well in improving yourself (educationally, and wrt mastering English and communication.), and don't always get a lot of credit for that, it seems. So I point it out now!! You are also very hard on yourself! Take a moment here and there to notice and appreciate what you are doing that's good, that's moving you forward, that shows growth!!!

@shredalert, @SimplyBeautifulArt, @projectilemotion, @user21820 @Zophikel, @Fawad and everyone that stops in periodically, etc! TGIF! (Celebration that we've reached the end of a work-week!)

I've been using the course notes of Rob and Carol Ash a lot. They are very pedagogically sound. Highly recommend them for anyone ever looking for material of this nature. math.uiuc.edu/~r-ash and math.uiuc.edu/~ash

fried rice is great

And, practically speaking, the long line is not useful. So no point bothering about it. =)

Daniel Fishcher introduced me to the Edmonton Eulers, from the NHL. Of course, there was also a football team in the NFL named the Houston Eulers. lol

@Starfall you are welcomed to simple arts world

Here's a beautiful series on it. It's about linear maps from $\Bbb R^n$ to $\Bbb R^m$, essentially

$$\huge\overbrace{\left(\ddot{\stackrel{\quad>}{\smile}}\right)}_{\begin{align}---‌​\quad\ \end{align}}$$

I can use smaller words, if you would like.

Gamification is evil. :(

@Mithrandir You could aspire to being a mod there!! At Chess beta!

A natural result of believing q_a_ks (medical or otherwise) is that one loses ability in logical reasoning, because one must suppress cognitive dissonance. And some of these people are too proud to admit their technical mistakes; they say that it is others who misunderstand them. They usually think they alone have found the right path, and that any criticism of those they adore must be flawed. Why exactly do they do that?

> ...And then all hell broke loose. Unwilling to review over a year's worth of history, management opted to pick a name and make an example, perhaps thinking that a sufficiently "strong" response would suffice to compensate for months of apathy.

I just wish more people would have more courage to speak out against wrongdoing.
