More proof that Maths is bullshit: factorial of n is " the product of all positive integers less than or equal to n", yet factorial of zero = 1?!? Piss off, Pythagoras
@juandesant then that should be called the "fuckinObvioustorial", but that's not the sum of all positive integers less than zero. This is like Big Maths defining "penguins" as "flightless birds in Antarctica. Oh, and bananas. Yup, they're penguins, too". I blame Euclid.
I can't remember the last time I read a novel in one sitting, but Prophet Song by Paul Lynch was impossible to put down. If any book should be made required reading in our current times, it's this one.
@tammy last time I read a book in one sitting was The White Hotel by DM Thomas. Probably even more depressing than the one you've just recommended to me!
@sarajw Hmm. I think relative URLs are ligit in RSS, but not sure. (TBH I just use WordPress default RSS, but I do use relative links all the time for perf reasons. If I can work out how to tweak it, I will.) @pixelambacht
I simultaneously wish I were better at Javascript (specifically: could think in a JS way), yet can't be arsed to learn it because it's fugly and someone will waterboard me with Typescript evangelism.
@mattwilcox ooh, nice tip, thanks Matt. Yeah, I can read JS and fart about in JQ but given a blank sheet and my own pseudocode, I freeze. If only early-1980s BASIC were built into browsers! @scottjenson
@mattwilcox My attention wanders between the 9 chapters on "this is a loop, this is a variable" and "first, we extend the prototype constructor object to map our arrays to the m-brane tesseract quantumknickers" and I'm lost. @scottjenson
Excited to be here at CERN preparing to fire a blast of Higgs Tachyons into the solar eclipse in order to fulfill Revelations 6:94 and start the Rapture.
The machines are on, and we're filling centrifuges full of mRNA harvested from foetuses. With any luck, chemtrails will shift from pointing at CERN and point towards Armageddon to guide the Beast to His Dark Throne.
Punctual as ever, at the exact time foretold by Nostradamus, we're delighted to welcome Bill Gates to CERN. He's brought a test tube full of Higgs' Tachyons from his facility on Epstein Island, harvested "from the seed of princes and kings", as Crowley described! We'll add those to the mix and fire them into the eclipse later. #rollOnRapture
