You know what, I found I could inspect the history, you deleted it (nevermind, another Alexander deleted it, regardless...). That's it, I'm done with this sort of unfair treatment on this site. I'm in the top .01% of answerers on stack overflow, and I would have been a great asset to this site, but I will not be contributing to math stackexchange in the future, and I will not be editing that answer. Don't undelete it. Let it be. I am done with you.
Jan 20, 2024 02:33
You asked me a question then began deleting my responses, how is that fair treatment of any user?
Now here's what I understand I can do and what I will do at this point. I will edit the deleted answer, and I will ask for it to be undeleted when I'm done editing.
Jan 20, 2024 02:28
two can play at that game
Jan 20, 2024 02:23
I have every incentive to improve it greatly. This past year I have been taking more math classes at my local university, and I think I have the tools to better communicate my ideas.
Jan 20, 2024 02:22
What's the harm in undeleting it? If I do a bad job with my revision, surely it will be deleted again.
Jan 20, 2024 02:17
@ParamanandSingh i will be addressing base 10 in my update
Jan 19, 2024 23:16
I'm not debating with you - I thought we were done talking. I'm waiting to hear back from the moderator who deleted it or another moderator who will undelete it for me, and in the meanwhile if I can think of anything else relevant to the issue I will absolutely post it here where an amenable mod will see it.
Jan 19, 2024 22:57
Looks like meta has addressed this sort of thing, and a lot of users think it's good to delete wrong, low quality answers, but I won over critics in the beginning with the effort I put into the answer and I think it's at least of moderate quality, and I'd like to address critics and improve the answer. (see meta search math.meta.stackexchange.com/search?q=delete+wrong )
Jan 19, 2024 22:35
Regardless, I have improved my own Math education and I want to improve on my original answer.
Jan 19, 2024 22:33
On Stack Overflow I have written many successful answers that started off quite inferior to how they are today.
Jan 19, 2024 22:32
Or if I do, perhaps use a summation...
Jan 19, 2024 22:31
I know you disagree with my ideas but many users found it useful, and it's how I've always thought of these sorts of issues since I was younger, and I want to expound on it in a better way, but without doing the 0.9999999999999... = 1 thing.
Jan 19, 2024 22:29
Thank you.
Jan 19, 2024 22:29
I'm going to ask the other mods. Perhaps I'll find the one who deleted it and they'll undo it after talking to me.
Jan 19, 2024 22:26
@ParamanandSingh would you please undelete my answer here? math.stackexchange.com/questions/732372/…
Jan 19, 2024 22:25
I'm not sure that advice is quite right either. The CM team doesn't usually wade into this sort of thing. I'm a normal user of Math, not a moderator on Math.
Jan 19, 2024 22:22
This is not how we deal with answers we disagree with.
Jan 19, 2024 22:22
Regardless of which moderator deleted it, it was wrong.
Jan 19, 2024 22:21
If you think I'm wrong you should have written a comment stating why you thought it was wrong, not deleted it.
Jan 19, 2024 22:19
It is my opinion as a long-running moderator on these sites that deleting it as it was is wrong.
Jan 19, 2024 22:19
Now that I've taken some more math classes and thought about it more I would like to edit it.
Jan 19, 2024 22:18
I directly answered the question and it was accepted by the asker and got many more upvotes than downvotes by users on the site.
Jan 19, 2024 22:16
@XanderHenderson or @ParamanandSingh - can I get my answer undeleted please?
Jan 19, 2024 22:13
@user21820 that's a very condescending response and we should not delete answers because we think they're wrong on these sites
Jan 18, 2024 06:17
can I get that answer undeleted please, I would like to revise it some

What if the content is modified by the author who originally posted it under 3.0 while the collection is advertised as 4.0? Would... most jurisdictions?... consider that work now safely under 4.0, or would that be at question?

I've been using NixOS with sway lately and I get this same error message, but I just click 'ok' and proceed to use the application regardless of the error message. I think VMWare Horizon/View is just not detecting the X emulation ability of wayland correctly. I don't think I should answer though, because my experience isn't on Ubuntu. Thoughts?

so as a user, I have nothing I can do? As a developer, I might be able to do something?
Mar 11, 2022 19:13
right, so I'm not an AFS developer

Is there a method for knowing which process accesses a file so it can be logged and traced back to the users of the file to deduce their intention? The file system the file is saved on is a modified version of AFS, if that matters (and I suspect it does)...

@AndrasDeak how do you run the sshd service? systemd? Maybe you should make it conditional over being on a specific network?
Jan 12, 2022 02:02
any thoughts on this one?

Unrelated: I downsized my Linode instance so I could allocate my budget across several, but I keep getting broken pipes: client_loop: send disconnect: Broken pipe
Jan 11, 2022 17:51
ah, that explains that.
Jan 11, 2022 17:51
i think I tried that and I couldn't get the same.
Jan 11, 2022 17:49
maybe I just add a line with curl -L ${iso}.sha256... I think they'll be visually close enough to see that they're the same...

I think removing dd will be a welcome addition that I can use to pay for a checksum comparison but I need it way simpler.

The browser paste command, at least for me, was also glitching badly at times.
Jan 11, 2022 17:36
yeah but they're using the GLISH shell for about the first half of the tutorial, which is web-based.
Jan 11, 2022 17:35
another issue with that tutorial is that users are probably hand-typing because the shell interface is somehow messing with Ctrl-v or Shift-Insert (and using the browser Paste command from the top menu is not intuitive) so the simpler the better.
Jan 11, 2022 17:33
@StephenKitt I spot check, mostly glancing at the beginning and end.

@NordineLotfi I wouldn't be surprised if it is more active. the trick is getting people to hang out on some kind of regular enough schedule that conversations may actually happen
