#tangent — Public Fediverse posts

@0xabad1dea I was just looking up a different Lizard the other day. In Cornwall. ISRT they were in the Zone of Totality (eclipse) some years back. I was thinking of going, but in the end I never did. I kind of regret it, so I'm going to completely misread "lizard forgives" as a way of absolving myself of that regret.

#Tangent

I'm looking for a math #math #teacher who could show me, in #trigonometry , why it is equivalent to measure the #tangent as "an oblic segment" (towards the X axis) and a "vertical segment" (on x=1)

It seems intuitivelly logical, but i can't find a way to properly demonstrate it.

Thank you!

“In 1980, #Intel released the #Intel8087 #FloatingPoint coprocessor, a chip that could make math up to 100 times faster. As well as arithmetic and square roots, the 8087 computed #transcendental functions including #tangent, #exponentiation, and #logarithms.

But it all depended on a 69-bit adder: "The arithmetic heart of the floating-point execution unit is centered about a #nanomachine comprised of the adder and its related #registers, #shifters and control circuitry," as the patent describes it”

Giving #Tangent a try as an #OrgRoam / #Obsidian alternative. Very good first impressions so far. :moomin_hmm:

One is reminded of the #StargateSG1 episode #Tangent .

@pink_doublethink I liked Logseq but as a block-based outliner I wouldn’t consider it a replacement for Obsidian, and it’s in an odd place developmentally right now.

If Obsidian disappeared, I’d consider the following, which all use plaintext files in system folders:

- #Zettlr I’ve tried this and it’s quite good. Open source with a committed, responsive, personable dev. Definitely worth trying.

- #Tangent Notes

- VS Code/Codium with the Foam plugin

Hype for the Future 9B: Verfunctions in Trigonometry

https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2025/11/09/hype-for-the-future-9b-verfunctions-in-trigonometry/

#Mathematics: The #logistic function, the #error function, and the #hyperbolic #tangent function all bear resemblance to one another, based on their respective definitions, which are to be represented in the following graph:

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.

@geospacedman Ended up nearly in tears while driving last weekend. Played the soundtrack to the RSC Nicholas Nickleby production, and it so sharply and strongly reminded me of Mum that I nearly lost it. Don't think the family noticed, thank goodness. Really sorry I'll not get to see your talk, Barry. #tangent

In geometry, the tangent line to a plane curve at a given point is, intuitively, the straight line that "just touches" the curve at that point. Leibniz defined it as the line through a pair of infinitely close points on the curve. More precisely, a straight line is tangent to the curve y = f at a point x = c if the line passes through the point on the curve and has slope f', where f' is the derivative of f. Wikipedia

Tangent 0.9.0-alpha.10 is out! This update has keyboard-based section shifting, a new wikilink autocomplete option, and a massive set of fixes for queries!

@Xhuul
I use #NextcloudNotes, #Zettlr, #kwrite and a bit #tangent ( and obsidian too, but :blobcatgooglytrash: )

I try also orgmode with #orgzlyrevived and I like it - I tried also #emacs but that too hermetic for me … :blob_sweat:

@lascapi
Merci, je ne connaissais pas #zettlr et #tangent. Pardon, j'ai du mal à visualiser l'idée : plus des vues qui démêlent les liens entre des docs markdown pour en sortir de la métrique imagée ?

Salut @picman
perso j’utilise #zettlr #obsidian #tangent … mais ma question est une appli dédié pour faire des tableaux de bord et uniquement ça. Un peu dans l’esprit #unix == un outil fait une seule chose bien.

I also doodled a tangent today:
#mathober2024 #tangent

It's #mathober2024!!!

Here is the website for prompts:

Here is my first sketch:

or on codepen:

I can't wait to see what everyone does this year!

@qotd but there are almond udders, so that checks out. I am just glad there isn't a banana milk product on the market. Please no one imagine how one would ever get milk out of a banana... no, don't, stop...
Spoilers, its really hard.

This is why it takes me such a long time in the bathroom... or any other room for that matter...

@wiredfire je suis plutôt la team #zettlr que j’aime bien ou #tangent que j’ai découvert récemment !! :D

To all you fellow #opensource #pkm wonks out there, please help me test out this latest beta version of #tangent!

I just _know_ there are some gremlins in there. https://mastodon.social/@tangentnotes/112984057492300308
