Mathematics - 2014-10-26 (page 3 of 5)

I had to do a practical as my coursework. A short test on the experiment was where most of the marks went as well. Although they were very nice, I'm glad to have left them behind. ^_^

Ted Shifrin

Heya @robjohn

Sawarnik

Heya @Khallil

Khallil

Long time no see, @Sawarnik and @Ted!

How've y'all been?

^_^

Ted Shifrin

Hi @Khallil ... Is it that long?

Sawarnik

Actually I should say, long time no see @Khallil !

Khallil

4:28 PM

It's been a while!

How've you been, @Sawarnik?

Huy

Sup, @Khallil.

Khallil

Hey, @Huy!

Jasper Loy

Yesterday and today someone gave me many upvotes.

Khallil

How've you been?

Huy

@Khallil: Just returned from some football where my team got wrecked.

Ted Shifrin

4:35 PM

Good thing you don't make your living as a footballer, @Huy.

Huy

@TedShifrin: Yes, I'm glad I didn't choose that career path.

Khallil

How did your team get wrecked, @Huy?

Was it that the opposition was way more physical or technical?

Huy

@Khallil: Our striker missed every single chance in the first 15 minutes and then all motivation was gone and it went downhill.

Sawarnik

Got disconnected :<

Huy

@Khallil: He had like eight great opportunities but failed every time and then our teamplay just got worse.

Ted Shifrin

4:37 PM

Sport, like math, is very mental.

Huy

Yes, a lot more than one would think.

Sawarnik

@huy What position were you in? Or goalkeeper?

Huy

It is very frustrating watching someone fail over and over and there's nothing you can do about it.

Sawarnik

@Huy Yes :(

Ted Shifrin

Got to pump him up, @Huy. That's teamwork.

Huy

4:38 PM

@Sawarnik: I prefer playing as a striker or midfield, but today we already had three guys who wanted to be striker really badly.

@TedShifrin: I'm not much of a motivating guy, at least in sports, unfortunately. I lack the aura.

Ted Shifrin

Huge part of teaching, too ... Cheerleading ...

Sawarnik

@TedShifrin :D

Ted Shifrin

i'm totally serious.

Q: I was caught cheating on an exam, how can I convince the instructors not to report it?

I got caught cheating in an engineering exam; my life is almost over. One normal engineering course at my university had an unreasonable amount of work: each week we would have like 5 quizzes (1 labview quiz, 2 class quizzes, 1 computer lab quiz, 1 graded report). The course merging with another...

Huy

@TedShifrin: That, on the other hand, is my big strength. :3

Jasper Loy

4:40 PM

Very interesting question.

Sawarnik

Hmm.

Ted Shifrin

I read that yesterday, @Jasper. Changed his life trying to game the system, and probably messed up the life if his coconspirator, too.

Mike Miller

He shows no remorse other than for the fact that he's being punished.

Jasper Loy

I did some bad things in life too. I shoplifted before.

Ted Shifrin

I did that once when I was 10. Have always felt guilty.

Sawarnik

4:42 PM

@JasperLoy I have shoplifted once too :(

Ted Shifrin

But it was like 20 cents worth. What was I thinking?

Huy

@JasperLoy: It's a bit much to read. Did he already get a final punishment?

Jasper Loy

Luckily, I was not jailed. I was still in school then.

@Huy I have not read it either.

But you know what? The suffering that I have endured because of my mental illness is worse than being in jail for the past 7 years.

Mike Miller

I need to get a waffle maker

Ted Shifrin

LOL @Mike

Mike Miller

4:45 PM

There's nothing funny about waffles

Ted Shifrin

I have one ... Rarely use it.

Huy

@JasperLoy: How can you know? You haven't been in jail, right?

Mike Miller

Send it with your books...

Alizter

@TedShifrin A waffle?

Jasper Loy

@Huy Well, I roughly know what they do in jail.

Alizter

4:46 PM

Oh waffle maker. Makes more sense

Huy

@JasperLoy: I also roughly know what it's like to have a depression. But I would never compare anything I'm going through with one because I never actually had one.

Jasper Loy

@Huy Well, some things are more imaginable than others, so I think it is OK to make a comparison.

Huy

@JasperLoy: If you think so.

Jasper Loy

english.stackexchange.com/questions/204610/… Advertising this here. I still agree with my answer.

But I have gotten 3 downvotes there already, lol.

Huy

I wish there was some sort of SE about interior design.

Alizter

4:56 PM

@JasperLoy Eh. @Jasper. Many would disagree.

Jasper Loy

@Alizter And what is wrong with that answer?

Alizter

I think that there are many better ones to use.

Jasper Loy

@Alizter Yes, but that is not answering the question.

Alizter

@JasperLoy It's not wrong. But I guess it would have a more preferred phrase.

@JasperLoy I didn't vote I am just saying why people may have downvoted.

Jasper Loy

@Alizter Those who downvoted are just XXX.

Alizter

4:59 PM

I upvoted. You are not wrong. However this question is awfully subjective.

robjohn

@TedShifrin howdy

Jasper Loy

@alizter Jonas used to get flagged a lot for saying asshole in this chat. I don't use asshole. I use XXX instead, lol.

robjohn

@JasperLoy I flag XXX :-D

Jasper Loy

Now Pedro also likes to use asshole a lot. However, he gets flagged less than Jonas.

@robjohn I like XXX, LOL.

robjohn

@JasperLoy Jonas was a bit more fluent with the expletives. He used to CUI.

Jasper Loy

5:02 PM

@Alizter So the last time Sarah emailed you was that full stop?

Alizter

@JasperLoy Yes.

Jasper Loy

@Alizter I might share some secrets with you in future too, lol.

Just answered a lhf, lol.

Mike Miller

You passed 2000. I think it's good you didn't retire.

Jasper Loy

@alizter Regarding the moral dilemma I told you about, I have so far asked 4 people. I have not made a decision what to do. Sarah is one of them.

Alizter

@JasperLoy What was it?

Jasper Loy

5:13 PM

@Alizter Hmm, maybe I will tell you some other time.

Ah, I also emailed Jonas my list of 12 holy books! He thinks they are good!

Anastasiya-Romanova

Boo!

nullgeppetto

Hi all! Just a quick question: Let an $n$-dimensinal real vector $\mathbf{x}$. I want to project this vector to the $m$-dimensional vector space $\Bbb{R}^m$. Is this being achieved by merely taking the product of $\mathbf{x}$ by the matrix whose columns are a orthonormal basis in $\Bbb{R}^m$? Thanks a lot!

Sawarnik

@Anastasiya-Romanova Hey.

Anastasiya-Romanova

I created an account on Quora yesterday & suddenly I become popular there, lol.

@Sawarnik Hi too!

Sawarnik

@Anastasiya-Romanova I know, I am one of the followers :D

You have answered a lot of integrals too.

Anastasiya-Romanova

5:22 PM

Why did you make so many tag to me on chatroom?

Sawarnik

@Anastasiya-Romanova Sorry again, Anastasiya, for that Artist episode.

Anastasiya-Romanova

@Sawarnik So, which one is you there?

Sawarnik

@Anastasiya-Romanova Well really, I had nothing to do with his. There was this some artist, who kept making on silly jokes on me and you and tagging always. I had to ignore him.

Anastasiya-Romanova

It's okay. I had too many notif & I was reluctant to check it one by one yesterday

Jasper Loy

OMG I just gave a wrong answer, lol. Luckily I deleted it in time, lol.

Sawarnik

5:24 PM

@JasperLoy Question? :P

@Anastasiya-Romanova :)

Jasper Loy

@Sawarnik Doesn't matter. It's just a totally wrong answer, lol.

Sawarnik

@Anastasiya-Romanova On Quora?

@JasperLoy Happens :P

Jasper Loy

But nobody commented on it, lol.

Maybe because it was ground fruit, lol.

Anastasiya-Romanova

@Sawarnik Promise me, don't do that again. I'am a moody & I can easily lose my temper

Sawarnik

@Anastasiya-Romanova Sure, I was afraid that you might leave the chat after that but hopefully you didn't :) And again, I had nothing to do with it :(

@Anastasiya-Romanova But you look so sweet :D

Anastasiya-Romanova

5:28 PM

It's ok. No worries this time (❛‿❛✿̶̥̥)

Jasper Loy

@Sawarnik You can ask her out for a date.

Sawarnik

@Anastasiya-Romanova ❛‿❛

Anastasiya-Romanova

@Sawarnik Thanks for your compliment

@JasperLoy ??

Sawarnik

@JasperLoy :P

Hmm.. so you have shifted to Crimea, lol.

Anastasiya-Romanova

I just answer 5 math problems, yet lots of popular users there follow me like Director of Engineering at Quora, Data Science Manager at Quora, etc

Chris's sis

5:32 PM

@r9m when is my book out? Well, when is done I give you the link to download it from bookfi. The vision on my book makes it pretty hard to be published ... (but not impossible) ;)

Sawarnik

@Anastasiya-Romanova Maybe because of that pic? :P :P Seriously, you have answered some good integrals, so naturally...

Anastasiya-Romanova

@Sawarnik Yup! Because I like Natalia Poklonskaya

Jasper Loy

@Chris'ssis My books will be out in 20 years, lol.

Sawarnik

@JasperLoy Sure?

Jasper Loy

@Sawarnik Roughly speaking.

Sawarnik

5:34 PM

How roughly?

Jasper Loy

Very roughly.

Chris's sis

@JasperLoy hahaha, well, it's never too late to publish a book. After 20 years I suppose you'll be way wiser and much more experienced.

Alizter

@JasperLoy He likes it rough.

Jasper Loy

It's Sunday afternoon where most Americans are.

Anastasiya-Romanova

@Sawarnik The notif on Quora is somewhat so annoying. I got so many notif & I'm too lazy to check it 1 by 1. How to handle this issue?

Alizter

5:35 PM

Euler has books published after he died.

@Anastasiya-Romanova Turn them off.

Anastasiya-Romanova

@Alizter How?

Sawarnik

@Anastasiya-Romanova I generally never check them..it is annoying...whatever is important, you get an e-mail.

Alizter

Settings maybe?

I don't remember. I have not used it for a while. Since I made my account actually.

Sawarnik

@Alizter lol

Anastasiya-Romanova

I don't know where the setting is. My mom doesn't help much too

Chris's sis

5:37 PM

This is impossible to achieve, but I'd like by some magic thing that anyone that is not able to produce a similar work with mine not to have the possibility to downvote me ...

Sawarnik

@Alizter haha .. but there is no real need of turning off notifications, just ignore them.

Its not visually distracting...

@Anastasiya-Romanova Where does mom come in? :/

Anastasiya-Romanova

I insist my parents that I wanna create Quora's account, but they didn't allow me

Sawarnik

:/ :/

Such control... but you did create it anyway :D

Anastasiya-Romanova

I kept insisting until they gave up

Alizter

@Anastasiya-Romanova Yet you post lots of pictures on your SE profile like it was Facebook...?

Sawarnik

5:42 PM

@Alizter true :D even on FB, there is never so many pics!

Alizter

Maybe they are trying to keep you safe.

There are some very bad people on the internet.

Sawarnik

@Alizter Yeah :(

Anastasiya-Romanova

@Alizter My parents said it doesn't matter since no one will comment about that

Sawarnik

But it not means so much control .. :(

Anastasiya-Romanova

They said there are lots of bad people on internet

Chris's sis

5:43 PM

I'd propose this to my downvoters ...

(it's created by me - - - and give them like 3(6) months to think of it)

Sawarnik

@Anastasiya-Romanova You told them about this artist's chat incident?

Anastasiya-Romanova

They worry that I'll get bullied

@Sawarnik No, but they saw it & told me to ignore any notif from yesterday

Sawarnik

That's too much control :/ isn't it @Alizter ?

Alizter

Do what your parents tell you to do until you are 18. Then you will thank them anyway.

Sawarnik

@Anastasiya-Romanova Aww, she's some prosecutor general :/

@Alizter :)

Alizter

@PedroTamaroff This is very true.

Pedro Tamaroff

:1833061 That's awfully made up

Alizter

Unless like some proffessors I have seen, you do not leave your spinney chair the entire lecture.

Huy

@Sawarnik: You wish my Facebook profile more pics, don't you? :3

Sawarnik

@Huy Exactly.

Huy

5:51 PM

@Sawarnik: I'm on Quora too, btw.

Sawarnik

@Huy I know :P :P

Huy

@Sawarnik: Stalker. :3

Sawarnik

:P

Anastasiya-Romanova

@Sawarnik Prosecutie, lol

Sawarnik

@Anastasiya-Romanova lol .. but not cuter than you really :)

Anastasiya-Romanova

5:53 PM

So, everyone here has facebook & quora acc?

Sawarnik

most

Alizter

@Anastasiya-Romanova You are not missing anything by not having facebook. Go read or play outside.

Anastasiya-Romanova

I only have Brilliant, I&S, MSE & Quora

Huy

@Alizter: Why? Facebook is awesome! :3

Sawarnik

@Huy Will you reveal the solution when she becomes your ex :D :P

Alizter

5:54 PM

An awesome way to procrastinate maybe?

Huy

@Sawarnik: Yes. But I don't anticipate that happening.

Mats Granvik

Has any of you tried IRL?

In Real Life.

Sawarnik

@Alizter An awesome way to keep in touch.

Huy

@MatsGranvik: Probably more frequently than you.

Sawarnik

@Huy Yes, you don't do before perhaps one week of breaking up.

Alizter

5:55 PM

Under the age of 18 it is not essential.

Huy

@Alizter: It is useful for planning events, staying in touch, etc.

Sawarnik

@MatsGranvik Definitely.

@Alizter Nah.

Huy

@Sawarnik: Thank you for giving me relationship advice, Mr. 14-years old. :*

Anastasiya-Romanova

@Huy But my friend has some trouble recently when her inappropriate photos are posted there by his jerk bf

Alizter

@Sawarnik I know many people who are happy and do not have facebook.

Sawarnik

5:56 PM

@Huy Ok, I will wait, Mr. 22 year old..

Huy

@Anastasiya-Romanova: She should report them. They should get removed very quickly and the jerk bf suspended.

Sawarnik

@Alizter No correlation.

Alizter

My point is that you shouldn't worry about not having it. You have better things to do.

Sawarnik

@Anastasiya-Romanova what huy said.

Huy

@Sawarnik: Did you find a song to share already?

Sawarnik

5:58 PM

@Huy Hmm, no.

Huy

@Sawarnik: Find one.

Anastasiya-Romanova

@Huy the bf is also my schoolmate & he said already deleted all of them

Huy

@Sawarnik: What could possibly hold you up?

@Anastasiya-Romanova: If he did, then where is the problem?

Anastasiya-Romanova

Now he gets detention to clean bathroom for a month after school

Alizter

Tut tut

Huy

5:59 PM

@Anastasiya-Romanova: That seems justified.

Alizter

His edit was rejected before.

Sawarnik

@Anastasiya-Romanova ^that is a great. surely justified.

Anastasiya-Romanova

@Huy He deleted it after he posted.
