  1. The Language of Math - Order of Operations, Notation, and other subjects

    What in the unholy hell is that formula? a+b\div2+c\times d\Rightarrow ((a+b)\div2+c)\times d How does that even parse?!

  2. The Language of Math - Order of Operations, Notation, and other subjects

    Yesn't.

  3. The Language of Math - Order of Operations, Notation, and other subjects

    In that case it's not really a "implicit" as in "unwritten rules", but just a matter of notation and omiting a symbol, so you don't write 2*a+b but instead just 2a+b The problem comes not from the difference in notation, but that people tend to attribute different "weights" to it, thus...

  4. The Language of Math - Order of Operations, Notation, and other subjects

    You did. The problem is that a lot of people parse that, specially because of the implied multiplication, as \frac{8}{2(2 + 2)} = 1

  5. The Language of Math - Order of Operations, Notation, and other subjects

    Which does help to prove my point in a way. While the output of the latex form is quite readable, learning to write this bloody thing: V_m = \frac{RT}{F} \ln \left( \frac{P_{\text{Na}}[\text{Na}^+]_{\text{ECF}} + P_{\text{K}}[\text{K}^+]_{\text{ECF}}}{P_{\text{Na}}[\text{Na}^+]_{\text{ICF}} +...

  6. The Language of Math - Order of Operations, Notation, and other subjects

    To give room for a discussion that got out of hand in a story thread ( https://forum.questionablequesting.com/threads/till-the-dealings-done-spider-man-marvel-chaos-gacha.39705/page-192 ) This is not about modern politics. Keep the discussion about math and about the language of math, the...

  7. Ghost in the City: Cyberpunk Gamer SI

    I mean, talk with V, that could be arranged; V probably has some incompetent asshole that she could use an excuse to get rid off, and so she could discreetly funnel some of the less competent 'Saka Kill teams for him to try to pull a asset denial OP, and then when it inevitably fails, fall on...

  8. Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    You're massively underestimating the advantages of mobility, and also going for a very limited view of how it'd be used; Think a better version of battletech's jumpjets doctrine wise; Fair enough, on the development difficulty side of things though, although given Star Wars bullshit tech at...

  9. Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    The Empire already uses AT-STs and other light(ish) walkers, so it's not like they'd be breaking completely new ground. But yeah, definitely not a LECA replacement; But they might be inspired by or use the LECA's technologies and methods to achieve whatever they are supposed to achieve. Edit...

  10. Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Ah, yes, the dichotomy of two possible versions of the universe he might be in. :P

  11. Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Also tease him mercilessly about it, from multiple angles, but that's a given, and comes mostly from a place of fondness, friendship, and massive levels of envy. :P

  12. Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Being fair, it's not all that rare for those actually producing and spreading the propaganda to not actually believe in it. Easier to invent shit from whole cloth, in direct opposition to what they see and do, when they know they are being disingenuous lying sacks of shit, instead of having to...

  13. Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    They do have some defrosted ancient people, so maybe one of them have the schematics. If I recall correctly, personal bubble shields that are safe for (non-droid) users are los tech. The ones they currently have apparently emit lethal levels of radiation, so "personal scale" shields are only in...

  14. I Was Reincarnated as the World's Final Boss but I Just Want a Quiet Life

    I got agree with the previous poster that said the protagonist have no spine. At some point, he's sacrificing his actual stated goal of having a quiet life to try to (badly) keep a facade of weakness, when revealing, at least part of his power could actually get him much closer to it. And the MC...

  15. Stronger Than The Sannin

    Yamato, all that is great, but could you wait to trauma dump so hard Sasuke triggered the Sharingan until at least more than a couple days of knowing each other? :P That said, promising, I'm just worried that the fic is going to go the route "powering the genin as fast as possible and team...
