  1. @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.

  6. 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!

    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”

  16. Dear Friends who can still not touch #type let alone thumb type or #spell properly or prettily, without help,

    Yes ye olde #dinosaurs, we have managed to:

    - Change and use varied Operating Systems
    - #Techno inhabit the cyber super-highways
    - #Rebelled against the money #monstrosities
    - Used modern #modems (when they were)
    - Worked in the silence of the night
    - Gone to #free computer shows
    - Bought #floppies in bulk

    Now we are coming to warn you that
    the space rocks are not your friends.
    The mega #monster corps are trying
    to eat your #brains

    What can you do against this do-do?
    1) #Develop #independent and #critical
    capacity from the phone zombie infestation
    2) #Enrich your life not you #dependence
    3) Find lateral, #tangent and diverse friendship

    You are the #meek not the market and this is your #inheritance

  30. @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

  35. Hype for the Future 9B: Verfunctions in Trigonometry

    The graph attached below showcases eight distinct and antiquated trigonometric functions regarding "versed" functions. Haversine in particular has historically been of importance in navigation, sailing, and perhaps even in communities such as fishing and whaling as well. From top to bottom, the functions listed in the legend correspond with the versine, vercosine, coversine, covercosine, haversine, havercosine, hacoversine, and hacovercosine, respectively.

  49. @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
