Hmm, I clicked "power off disk" on one of my drives and it's been "working on" the last partition for about 5 minutes now. Oh, never mind, it just unmounted. Phew. I was about to ask what I should do.
Oct 10, 2021 16:30
maybe it's to do with the ppa?
Oct 10, 2021 16:30
anyone.. ever... seen that?
Oct 10, 2021 16:30
so weird
Oct 10, 2021 16:30
like, everything is fine and normal, but it also just has a line saying that at the end
Oct 10, 2021 16:30
i just did the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:atareao/atareao
sudo apt update
sudo apt install touchpad-indicator
and (surprisingly, most ppas i've added dont work) i got it installed, but after all of the processing triggers and setting up, the terminal decided to say

No existe

before returning control to me.

I have to go over here now. Bye bye.

I'm not really conversing very well.

i was just saying that with things like packages and dependencies and source code building and immoral gcse exams and people you like and that kind of thing it's just all quite horrifying to exist.

I've made a personal record for the shortest-lasting Ubuntu installation.

I have noticed that "{1,1,0,0} would be {n/2,n/2,0,0}" is division of n by the sum of the starting numbers.

What would {1, 0.5, 0, 0} be? Maybe it would be {2*n/3, 1*n/3, 0, 0}
i noticed that 2*n/3 is the same as n/1.5, which is the sum of these starting numbers. Clues, but I haven't figure it out yet.

Does anyone have any ideas for getting a series of integers that add up to integer n from a series of arbitrary numbers from 0 to 1?
Really broad question I know, I'm not sure how to better define it.
So, {0,0,0,1} would be {0,0,0,n}, and {1,1,0,0} would be {n/2,n/2,0,0} etc.
Accounting for rounding error by adding to or subtracting from the last integer or something, I'll figure that part out afterwards.

Basically my head is hopelessly lost and I'm asking how the concept of rotation/orientation can be translated from radians to steradians.
Apr 1, 2019 00:05
Is it a bit like how metres squared doesn't tell you where you are on the cartesian plane, just the area of the... square you made... ... uh
(I'm totally tired btw)
Apr 1, 2019 00:04
How can I orientate myself on a 3D sphere with only one number?
Apr 1, 2019 00:04
Steradians are "square angles," and I just don't understand that.
Apr 1, 2019 00:04
But...
Apr 1, 2019 00:04
Oh man, this is confusing me so much...
From what I thought I knew, a radian is an angle-- a rotation!
