Shower thoughts stack exchange makes me irrationally angry

I know we refer to computers as using logic, logic gates and the like, but is this just us ascribing human capacities to the machines? It sounds like a case of us giving more meaning to the machines than they deserve. I've read about things like derived intentionality and this seems to echo that.

It took 5 minutes to install and it erased some of the lines I had drawn in visio

I had to switch to mobile to inform y'all about what had happened :p

Q: A space homeomorphic to its own power

I sought for a topological space that is homeomorphic to its own power, e.g. $X \cong 2^X$ for the discrete two-point space $2$. Of course, $2^X$ has the compact-open topology. Here's my approach: First I probed its underlying set. Simple argument; treat the base $2$ as the power set operation. T...

This is why contravariant functors suck

I mean, if such space doesn't exist, how can Haskell declare newtype T = T (T -> Bool)?

Y'know, this is the second time this month the nyt crossword has had NSFW as an answer

I'm starting to suspect the editors are a bit of a questionable crowd

More likely it's just a convenient way to get a bunch of consonants in a row :p

Also boy does my backpack feel light now that I don't need to carry notebooks to school

My laptop's the heaviest thing in it and it's right up against me so it doesn't affect the inertia much

There is nothing more horrifying than realising something is pushing null in a system when it shouldn't be

Especially when everything else doesn't seem to be doing so

today I saw an adult, college-educated human spell "Michelangelo" as "Michael Angelo"

I suppose they're one of today's lucky 10000

To be fair, that is a correct analysis of the name.

@jave.web Yes, Google Translate is ᴡʀᴏɴɢ: seldom if ever does enumerate start with a fully reduced schwa❗ The start of enum is never /ɪ/ because that would be the KIT vowel as in inning, enumerate. It’s only ever the FLEECE vowel, which is the very name of the letter E itself❗ KIT and FLEECE are completely different lexical sets in English: what’s your 1ﬆ tongue? Moreover, the 1ﬆ syllable of enum has primary stress so ɴᴇᴠᴇʀ reduces to something else. — tchrist ♦ 4 hours ago

A surprising amount of Unicode there, not sure what prompted it

Adding an extra space in a name where a space would make sense isn't really the sort of mistake it's worth caring about :p
