#parabola — Public Fediverse posts

Can I use #archlinux with 100% #FreeSoftware while still calling it Arch and affording community support for Arch? I don't want to switch to #Parabola #GNU #Linux because that will disqualify me from community support for Arch.

A new blog post on what seems to be my theme the last few months: parabolas from a directrix/focus perspective.

This time around a look at what happens when a chord goes through the focus

I started a discussion how #NixOS should handle software created with LLMs:

https://discourse.nixos.org/t/how-should-we-handle-software-created-with-llms/76061

Is there a similar discussion for other #Linux or #BSD distros?

#KaOS, #OpenIndiana, #openmamba, #Parabola (extra repo), #Ravenports and #Spack are already affected by having chardet later than 5.2.0:

https://repology.org/project/python%3Achardet/versions

And so, here are four functions to demonstrate it. The default resolution of the plotting routine is crude, leading to #Aliasing and so the mesh has to be refined somewhat.

Here are three #ConicSections and one #Trigonometric functions.

An #Ellipse
A #Parabola.
A #Hyperbola.
A rotating #Tangent function.

is this a #parabola or a #catenary curve? https://www.flickr.com/photos/michaelgrr/54727580005/in/dateposted-public/ #maths #geometry #architecture

@starlabssystems Hi!
My laptop: Arch (rolling, minimal, flexible)
My desktop: openSUSE (rolling, secure)
Family boxes: Debian (stable, reliable, just works)
LiveUSB: MX (nomadic, works OOTB on any hardware)
Smartphone: LineageOS (much better than Android)
PS: would prefer something fully open/libre (#Guix, #Trisquel, #Parabola, etc.) but some hardware demands blobs...

So #GuixSystem (i.e., the OS) has a service to provide a build VM to sandbox the #Guix build process, and this made me think, it could be handy to provide a service for creating #Trisquel or #Parabola VMs as a base, effectively extending the Guix functionality set with the Debian & Arch Linux package archives

Next we have the Mary Ellen Bute directed “Parabola” (https://youtu.be/DUwiVelk-Oc?si=J5wEmmw5W0p1r41a) the video has some good info at the start

I drew the said curve, y=x², starting with x= -32 , ending with x=0, with this ingenious toy: www.matheretter.de/rechner/gfplot #Februarty2025, day 8, #puzzle: There is a #square 32*32=1024 and a #parabola. Find the area under the under the curve #calculus #antiderivative
