I made a small loaf of bread, just enough for dinner for two.
@robjohn Check my profile, I am missing badges for [axiom-of-choice] and [cardinals], but that's because you need 100 questions in the tag to begin with.
@Gortaur You can put a bounty; the snag is that since you answered the question as well, the minimum bounty you can post is the one for giving 100 rep...
Oh, you mean the astrometry.com stuff? that is a neat bit of software written by a guy at Princeton. It matches astrophotos to a database and locates where your image is and what is in the image.
All you have to do is to register your image with their group and they run your image in the background.
I know what is in my image, so I could add the boxes. I just think it is neat that a computer program can identify the images given the amount of sky out there and the fact that it has no idea how much sky is in your image.
or what the orientation is.
Ack. I just noticed the time. I have to go and meet my wife. BBL
I'm downloading at one rate and playing music at another. I'm trying to figure out how much to download before I start playing so the buffer isn't starved
I consider it as a saved-failure since I baked it on a high heat and it was not fully baked from the inside. The idea of slicing it and baking-toasting the loaf was good and it worked.
I'm not sure if the yeasts or the baking soda made it foamy and nice.
No, you preheat, put in the bread dough, and put it there for 45 minutes, or until you like the shade of golden-brown you're seeing, whichever comes first.
I think there was some meta question involving whether/not it's kosher to edit in the (homework) tag without an OP's permission, but I never can find it anymore.
True. And in like 10 more answers in [set-theory] I will have another.
Also if I'll answer each and every question on [axiom-of-choice] from now until there are 100, and on average I'll have 5 upvotes per answer... I'll get a silver specialist along with the bronze one :D
I want to be able to understand p-adics and adelic rings and AlgNT and work my way up to Tate's thesis, but I get the feeling it will require some sort of paradigm shift in my mathematical constitution, as I'm normally an analysis kind of guy and the advanced algebra is hard to wrap my head around. But I have something to shoot for.
Here they're starting to put Wi-Fi on the trains and buses. It's as if they're sure people would love playing Angry Birds and checking their "walls" during the commute...
lol *As I summed up, Emmy smiled, looked into my eyes, and in a soft voice asked, “Have you ever engaged in real analysis with someone?’’ Of course, as I had stopped (perhaps prematurely) at calculus, I just blushed and answered, “No…” With a quick glance, she asked if I was up for trying it right there and then for the first time. I was so nervous that my palms were sweating. At that moment I couldn’t think straight. I just stammered, “Yeah… but be gentle.”*
I'm currently looking at an old answer of mine that needs some improvement. Unfortunately, to improve it, I need to expend way more effort than I can currently spare...
@J.M.: I looked at the question re \sum \binom{2k}{k} \binom{2n-2k}{n-k} intending to answer in the manner you did, but saw that you had answered and that the accepted answer was a combinatoric one, though more complicated. The combinatoric argument is similar to an article I wrote for sci.math. I don't really understand the value that seems to be placed on the "combinatoric" word-problem explanations.
Hmm. I just tried to add a link to the old question, but got a message saying that my edit was too long. What is the limit for chat messages?
time to wake up my wife and go to the grocery store.
See you later.
It's almost 22:00 there, so I may see you tomorrow.
yayu: If $u = Av + Bw$, where $B$ is a matrix representing the orthocomplement of the subspace determined by the columns of $A$. Then at least it works this way: $P_A u = A(A^T A)^{-1} A^T (Av + Bw) = A(A^T A)^{-1} (A^t A) v + A (A^T A)^{-1} (A^T B) = Av$.
yayu: So the $A^T$ term at the end will drop the orthocomplement part away, and the $A (A^T A)^{-1}$ is there to compensate for the effect of $A^T$ to recover the part in the subspace we are projecting onto.
@robjohn: yes, people dot the cup or write it using square cups in order to indicate that the sets are disjoint. I've seen the dotted cups mostly in hand-writing, but maybe it's a European thing. Don't remember if I ever saw it printed
I would have agreed. I suffered quite a bit in my first year, with that analysis prof who walked in three times a week at 8 o'clock with the best of moods, saying with a bright smile on his face "let's do a little analysis"...
There's a story of Wolfgang Pauli at ETH who was asked to give a course at 9 A.M. He complained in a letter "I can't give a course at 9 A.M. because then I'm already in bed!"
I see. I changed my rising habits a bit when I was further up north and found out that two hours of sun a day is just not enough for me. And DST was mainly invented for the early risers, I believe.
I will never understand what happens. We will shift the clock an hour back, end of October so dawn and dusk are an hour earlier on the clock, isn't it? I think it makes more light in the evening during summer.
but probably the point is that I think the time in Summer is just right and I don't need dawn to happen before 8 in the morning. Anyway, it's utterly confusing :)
wow, the Question about generating function is about a polynomial, and Didier gave what I thought was a tongue-in-cheek contour integral answer, but it was accepted.
Bill pointed to some threads on sci.math, and it really looks like there is a lot of noise there. It's incredible how little noise we have around here. Even if there are some unpleasant encounters from time to time. The moderators really do a great job here.
That sounds about right, at least that's what I saw, too, recently. There were some really unpleasant exchanges on meta, but most of them were storms in teapots and happened before you were around. You can find them if you look for them, but it's not really worth it and the ugliest things were deleted anyway.
