sai-kartik

@user21820 I can totally relate

what time is it for you?

user21820

Time to eat.

sai-kartik

-.-

user21820

Don't squint your eyes too often; you may get wrinkles earlier.

sai-kartik

@user21820 if you want to remain so anonymous you can just say so xD

@user21820 not like i care 😬

user21820

04:32

@sai-kartik You know I'm joking, right?

@sai-kartik It was really time to eat. That's why I disappeared for quite a while.

=P

sai-kartik

05:22

@user21820 yeah yeah :P

07:36

@XanderHenderson I love how he refers to his problems as samples, appetizers, meals etc to imply increasing order of difficulty :D

user21820

07:57

@OmarS What about dessert?

Finally a new chess tournament is coming up on the 21st. "Legends of Chess" with some older masters this time. (Not really old, but 40+)

amWhy

@quid Nice to hear! Where can we follow it?

quid

Certainly on chess24 likely elsewhere too @amWhy

amWhy

@quid So this is one that Magnus Carlsen will have to sit out!?

quid

@amWhy no there are also a few young players. Ding and Giri too.

Arjun

@quid , anish giri world no 9?

amWhy

19:09

@quid Ahh, I see. chess24.com/en/read/news/…

quid

@Arjun yes

Arjun

@AT1089 hi

amWhy

@quid Including Carlsen!

Arjun

@amWhy,@quid, hi

quid

Yes him Ding Giri are the younger ones. IIRC

Hello @Arjun

Arjun

19:10

the user i pinged above is one of the best professors in India

let's see if he joins us sometime

quid

@Arjun pings don't work like this.

Arjun

@quid , pardon me

what else do i need to do/

quid

@Arjun you cannot ping user that never were here

Arjun

@quid ,that's new to me. By here you mean in any of the rooms?

quid

yes

amWhy

19:15

@Arjun If your professor is on math.se, you can invite them to a chatroom.

Arjun

@amWhy ,math.stackexchange.com/users/758289/at1089

here is he

I dream of getting taught my him

Arjun

19:38

@amWhy, what do you think?

Mad Spaces

hi.
is sin(x)= cos (x+90degree) or sin(x)= -cos (x+90degree)

user434058

@MadSpaces The latter.

Mad Spaces

could you tell me where the minus sign comes from? i dont get it

Arjun

google.com/…

user434058

@MadSpaces cos(x+90)= -cos(180-(x+90))= -cos(90-x)= -sin x

Arjun

19:44

This might help in imagining

@FakeMod , that's even more complex bro!

user434058

@Arjun Ah, I see, you use a Lenovo Tab :-) . As a general advice, whenever posting Google search links, just remove the ending stuff of the link.

Arjun

@FakeMod ,my man! Indian?

user434058

@Arjun Nah, that's straightforward:-)

Arjun

@FakeMod ,for me n u tho

Mad Spaces

Obviously he is a good scientist but a bad teacher.

If you ever find yourself writing formulas without giving any explination you should know you are a bad teacher.

user434058

19:47

@MadSpaces Haha :P

Mad Spaces

but thanks for the explination i can understand it

user434058

@MadSpaces Alright, so which formulas are the ones that you know as of now?

user434058

@MadSpaces Oh, nice, then. :-)

Mad Spaces

One of the best professors in my college usually have very few people in his lectures. because no one goes there. because he explains terrible. but he is best researcher

user434058

@MadSpaces happens... I've heard of such profs.

Arjun

19:49

@MadSpaces ,hmm,usual story in IIT's ;-)

Mad Spaces

anyway thanks for the answer. have a good evening

user434058

@Arjun AFAIK, IITs are good. For example, see the NPTEL course series by V. Balakrishnan (IITM) and Charudatt Gadolkar (IITG). They're ::TA:: "noice".

user434058

@MadSpaces Have a good evening.

Arjun

@FakeMod ,not all profs there are good teachers, talk to some IIT guy he'll tell you the reality 😂

Btw, it's late so good night

user434058

@Arjun I don't have to talk to any other students, my teachers have told me enough of those "Life in IITs" tales :P

Arjun

19:54

@FakeMod ,read them

user434058

@Arjun Good night!

user434058

@Arjun Read what?

Arjun

@FakeMod ,what IIT guys say about life there, maybe Quora has some good answers for this

user434058

@Arjun Quora is a time sink (so is SE, but at least you feel smarter after wasting an hour on SE, but on Quora, you just feel that you wasted your time :P)

Arjun

@FakeMod ,there are some good writers also

Everywhere, there is something you can learn

user434058

20:04

@Arjun Sure :-)

amWhy

20:44

@Xander, @quid, @user21820 Words that Rhyme with FILE. To start you off: MILE, CROCODILE, DIAL, ...

^^^ Might not be terribly fruitful. I can think of three more words, and one River, and a Name...

Actually, I'm up to six words that rhyme with File, in addition to what I've already posted. @quid I challenge you to name three of them! ;D

Now I'm up to nine additional words!!

Oh well, sorry if everyone is bored with the "What rhymes with _____ " question in this chat.

quid

21:25

@amWhy you're VILE ;D

So I'll cover you with a PILE

and each TILE

Xander Henderson

DEFILE

TRIAL

amWhy

@XanderHenderson That's one I missed!! Yay for you!!

@quid I'll give you a VIAL of valium to quiet you from accusing me of being VILE!

quid

@amWhy well, now you want to drug me. Proves my point exactly.

amWhy

STYLE

@quid Hah! :P

What famous River rhymes with FILE?

Xander Henderson

STILE

quid

21:31

@amWhy was that a SMILE?

amWhy

@XanderHenderson Doesn't that discriminate against animals? :D

@quid Good one! I missed that one!!

ISLE and AISLE

quid

Kile maybe?

Also Kyle

amWhy

@quid google.com/…

@quid That's the name I was thinking of.

quid

@amWhy you google links always confuse me; it's a LaTeX thing to me.

amWhy

WHILE

@quid Yes, that's what I linked to, a Wikipedia article about a LaTeX thingy!

Kile

Kile is a TeX/LaTeX editor to edit TeX/LaTeX source code. It runs on Unix-like systems including Mac OS X and Linux, as well as Microsoft Windows via the KDE on Windows initiative, with the Qt and KDE libraries installed. == Name and Pronunciation == Kile means tickle or wedge in Norwegian, the native language of some of the Qt developers. As such, its proper pronunciation is /kiːlə/ and not /kaɪl/. == Features == Kile has many useful features needed to edit TeX/LaTeX source code, such as: One-click document compilation and display Auto-completion of (La)TeX commands Graphical lists of symbols...

quid

21:37

So we are still searching a river.

amWhy

@quid Just stop trying to RILE me up, already!! ;D

@quid Yup... four letters _ILE

quid

@amWhy Huh? I always try to make you smile even though you are vile.

I'm not sure I'll find the river.

amWhy

@quid Hah!

Nile

The Nile (Arabic: النيل‎, romanized: an-Nīl, Arabic pronunciation: [an'niːl], Bohairic Coptic: ⲫⲓⲁⲣⲟ Pronounced [pʰjaˈro], Nobiin: Áman Dawū) is a major north-flowing river in northeastern Africa, and is the longest river in Africa and the disputed longest river in the world, as the Brazilian government says that the Amazon River is longer than the Nile. The Nile is about 6,650 km (4,130 mi) long and its drainage basin covers eleven countries: Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Ethiopia, Eritrea, South Sudan, Republic of the Sudan, and Egypt. In particular...

quid

Ah. Of course. I should've found that.

amWhy

@quid But you didn't! :P

quid

21:44

@amWhy yes a bit embarrasing.

amWhy

Everyone did great, and @Xander and @quid each found a couple I didn't think of. Because I think of almost everything, that's quite an accomplishment for you both! ;D :P

This internet search engine did better than us all, together: Words that rhyme with file:

rhymezone.com/r/…

Though some are a stretch.

@quid I have GUILE, and am not VILE ;D

quid

21:59

@amWhy in any case one needs to be careful.

amWhy

@quid Okay. I assume the one who needs to be careful is me.

quid

@amWhy but if in the end you smile, it's all good. :-)

From the page you mentioned. Versatile.

Another name Mikhail.

Since I am very egocentric, what about words that rhyme with QUID

Liquid is easy.

Squid also.

Does liquid even rhyme? It ought to, but then the page you mentioned does not say so.

Maybe the pronunciation is different.

Actually with the "id" there are many.

Xander Henderson

@amWhy There's no ego here at all. :P

amWhy

22:35

@XanderHenderson :P The comment you replied to I said in partial jest! ;D

Xander Henderson

@amWhy I was trying to figure out how to reply to both your comment, and this one.

There was an ego / id pun running around.

amWhy

@quid DID (counts twice, a word, and a username)

Xander Henderson

I didn't quite pull it off. :\

CANDID

amWhy

BID

Xander Henderson

VAPID

amWhy

22:37

@XanderHenderson Nice one!

Xander Henderson

ACRID

quid

WIT

Xander Henderson

wit doesn't rhyme with quid...

amWhy

@quid Buzzer (ZONK)

AMID

ACID

Xander Henderson

@amWhy OVERBID UNDERBID

PYRAMID

@amWhy noice

amWhy

22:40

SLID

quid

Alright, I'll leave you alone with your weird language, where isle rhymes with dial, but wit does not rhyme with bid. ;-)

amWhy

@XanderHenderson Noice!

@quid How do you pronounce t? How do you pronounce d?

Xander Henderson

@quid WITH (as in "Ey, youse guys! You gonna go to da bar wid me?")

quid

@amWhy more or less the same;

Xander Henderson

@amWhy When I was driving and my car slid on the ice, I hit the brakes, and ended up in a SKID.

amWhy

22:42

@quid Dat be a German bat habid.

Xander Henderson

Oh! Capital of Spain: MADRID (do proper nouns count?)

amWhy

@XanderHenderson Did you kill a SQUID when you SKID?

Xander Henderson

Bzzzt!

amWhy

@XanderHenderson Sure, unless I want to FORBID it! ;)

Xander Henderson

Ha!

My daughter is a cute KID.

amWhy

22:45

@XanderHenderson Put a LID on it. We all know how cute your KID is! ;D

Maybe I need to be HID from QUID!

Xander Henderson

Heh. Okay, I'm out.

quid

@amWhy maybe behind a GRID

amWhy

@quid You just read my mind!! Excellent one!

quid

@amWhy Yes, I have wit and grit and won't quit. (When I say it does rhyme with quid!)

amWhy

@quid Yes, wiT and griT and won't quiT all rhyme, but not with quiD.

More like alliteration: @quid won't quit because he has wit and grit.

But sometimes will spit if he has a FIT. ;D

quid

22:55

@amWhy let's hope I won't split.

amWhy

@quid Indeed!

Just don't SIT on my flags for too long, or I may have a FIT!

quid

@amWhy maybe I do have to split. Then there'd two of me.

amWhy

@quid Hah! We need two mods like you!

But that would be a BIT too much to ask of you.

You can create a SKIT of how you would split yourself, though! But doing it in reality would probably be painful.

PIT (Can't come up with anything clever on that one). FIT

@quid If you wouldn't FLIT back and forth all the time from this site, we wouldn't need two of you. (Sorry, don't mean it, but it was too fun to say anyway!).

Okay... I think I'll rest on the rhyming game for now. ;D

quid

23:12

@amWhy indeed in the end I'll fall in a pit.

amWhy

@quid ;D Just let's not PIT you against me, or me against you, unless we create a script in which Brad PITT will star for you.

oops I said I QUIT the current rhyming game. ;D

quid

I'll let that sit.

amWhy

@quid For a bit, sure, let that sit!

@quid I hope you can get better sleep tonight (this morning)! Hopefully, construction won't be happening on Sunday.

quid

23:30

@amWhy yes, I hope so too. But one never knows.

amWhy

@quid Dat true! I had to live with a construction project in my neighborhood, scheduled from July last year through September, but persisted through January this year due to extremely poor planning and budget cuts.

But fortunately, @quid, I maintain a normal schedule of sleeping at night! ;D

quid

@amWhy no, no. I work at night when it is calm. As longs as I am tired enough I sleep despite the noise.

amWhy

@quid Good. I'm glad you sleep. Everyone finds what works best for them. And I agree, the calm in the night and early morning can be tremendously productive times to work.

@quid Do you take a Vitamin D_3 supplement? Because you are a night owl, you might not be getting sufficient sunlight to generate it yourself. Something to think about. But that's just a thought. And I won't mention it again.

quid

@amWhy these days I am just inside. It could be a problem yes.

amWhy

23:47

@quid I'm not huge on pushing supplements, nor taking them. But vitamin D_3 plays a huge role in mood but also counteracting diseases like what used to be known as "rickets". In any case, that's the one and only supplement I take, which I resumed upon the start of the pandemic.

Anyway, something to think about.
