Reminds me, I need to yell at those stupid annoying kids out there with their stupid annoying fireworks, so they can call the cops and call me old and grumpy again.
@Coronus Have you tried jumping from high enough without any safety equipment?
> "Tell people there’s an invisible man in the sky who created the universe, and the vast majority believe you. Tell them the paint is wet, and they have to touch it to be sure."
I claim gravity turns visible if you make a lethal jump. Now, prove me wrong.
I like to think of it like "Romancing SaGa meets Etrian Odyssey meets extreme-anguish-inducing-difficulty", which that's actually pretty impressive to have on top of being RS and EO.
1/0 is 1 left somewhere that nobody cares about. it's like
like going to your prom, and being the only person there in the corner with no GF. then the prom ends, and then everyone goes home. you're still there though, standing in the corner in the dark.
@Shiester No, you're not, 1/0 is undefined, and as any C programmer knows, anything at all can happen in undefined behavior and it is technically legal.
@Sconibulus Now, a variety of environments for a variety of languages defines 1/0 as any of the following: Infinity, undefined, null, *Error, *Exception, 0, 1, -1, ∅, "", NaN, .
@murgatroid99 Depends on the language. If the language interprets void as 0, it can be a storage-efficient way to do it, for instance.
Or it forwards the Math error as a syntax error to the interpreter/VM/whatever. Which can be a safer solution in some cases. Math errors can get nasty in some environments.
@OrigamiRobot Let x be in [0,1]. Then 2*x is in [0,2]. Let y be in [0,2]. Then y/2 is in [0,1]. This creates a bijection between [0,1] and [0,2], so they have the same cardinality.
@OrigamiRobot You are seeing infinity as a number here I think. It's not. This whole thing is about having infinity numbers between both points, and you can map them one on one.
A bijection is where you can map them one on one in both directions. you can map every number between [0,1] to a exactly one number in [0,2] if you use the relation 2*x. Every number in [0,2] also matches to exactly one number in [0,1] using the opposite relation x/2.
@OrigamiRobot What you are saying, then, is that you reject the standard math that is taught in schools and instead use your own brand of personal math with different rules, which no one else uses.
@Arperum @OrigamiRobot And since it is different from 1, it has a number in between itself and 1 (the average), but this number is bigger then 0.999... so we have an impossibility.
@murgatroid99 It's conclusive within the system. But the system is arbitrary. And that makes the system inherently flawed. The system itself is a conclusive representation, but arbitrary as well.
@murgatroid99 We cannot, because of the inherent nature of the thing, prove that it is an exact representation. With that being the ideal, the arbitrary system is flawed.
@FEichinger It's not a flaw that it doesn't fulfill a purpose that it wasn't designed for. Math doesn't represent anything, it's just math. Sometimes, it happens to correspond to real world things
@FEichinger You're arguing that it doesn't do something that it's not supposed to be doing, and that therefore there's something wrong with it. That just doesn't make sense
@murgatroid99 You're arguing that Math is "not representing anything", which is ridiculous. Math is supposed to represent real-world phenomena in a reasonably tangible form.
@FEichinger Math, at its base, is sets. Just sets. Everything is built on that. It happens that in that framework, we can define additional constructs that correspond to the real world. That doesn't make those definitions the purpose of the entire exercise
@JasonBerkan That's exactly what I'm saying, except that I'm adding on top of that that is just does not fulfill the ideal of being a representation of phenomena in a tangible form.
@FEichinger You are imposing your own unrealistic expectations on math as a field and then claiming that it is flawed because it does not meet those expectations.
@Batophobia Simple counting says you have 2. That counting and abstract math agree on this point does not mean all of math has to match to the real world.
Apparently my weapons officers have been leveling up and gaining skills, but I have no idea what they do. When I clicked on one of them one time, it seemed to cause my weapon officer's health to drop. Are there any explanations of these skill icons? This is for the android version if that matt...
I can't prove that statement because I'm forbidding myself to play Minecraft. My job is to get everyone else to play Minecraft, leaving myself the only remaining productive person on the planet.
But in seriosity, I've yet to even be really interested in playing Minecraft. Some parts of it may amuse me but not in any way that's really inspired me to spend my own time on it.
@Wipqozn No it doesn't. It should have looped perfectly, and then newgrounds was like 'nope' so I added a bit of silence to the end and now it sounds like it loops pretty close. I bet if you downloaded it though it wouldn't loop properly because of the space.
> You can import your audio in any format, although if you intend to loop it, we recommend .WAV format. Loops that are imported as .MP3s don't loop properly, and no one likes a crappy loop.
@Batophobia Well, mods like that and Mo' Creatures are just not my cup of tea anyway. I mean, I played FTB for a while, and the big thing for me there was a slight engineering challenge with mods like Redpower.
I'd like to rearrange how my players sit at the table, but clicking, dragging, and other attempts don't give me an option to change seating. The only way I know currently is to go to a Tavern, remove all from the table, then add back in the order I want. Is there an easier or more intuitive way t...
I've seen a lot of questions and answers regarding the visual differences between texture filtering methods (bilinear, trilinear, anisotropic2x etc), but I've not been able to find any information regarding the cost of these filtering methods. I'm not sure if this is perhaps due to the cost being...
Is there a plugin that will allow me to put at least half slabs on top of redstone in the same block?
