71 I learning just enough category theory to understand the sentence "a monad is a monoid in the category of endofunctors"
v0.9.2 27 t? S terrible textbook + terrible prof = I might be the first person on earth that enjoys analysis more than algebra N /j
v0.9.2 71 t? S welp, I failed the a course on the first chapter of basic algebra 1
it's so over N /j
(it's actually group theory / abstract algebra but it's funny that the textbook is called that)
v0.9.2 71 m S fun fact: the phrase "in the span of [any amount of time]" actually means any duration, because time is one-dimensional (afaik)
71 S you can't spell "market cap" without "cap"
15 27 S actually the english version is like half the price even after tax, so uh... yeah I'm getting that instead
I can always use the old printer and/or the mobile/PC app if I wanted a chinese label
27 S and I finally replaced the batteries it came with yesterday
idk if that's because I don't use the printer much, or if it's because it doesn't use much power
27 S my brother pt-d200hk still works after, like, 7 years
it's so old there are 2 new redesigns of the thing
71 S gonna pick up a new label printer while I'm in hong kong, I think*
which means I should be able to print barcodes now, time to stick them onto everything
*I want one that can print chinese on its own (even if I'm probably never going to use it), and they don't sell those in canada because why would they
71 Q people who use 60% keyboards (without arrow keys): How do you survive without them? does every text field you use support vim-style controls or do you just not need to move cursors in text boxes around much
v0.9.2 71 I idea: storing memory addresses as floating point numbers
v0.9.2 71 S you know, I only started noticing stars in the sky after I played katamari damacy
v0.9.2 27 S maybe it exists already? but the idea sounds silly enough that I doubt it, and if it did I wouldn't even know where to begin to search for it
v0.9.2 71 S
I'm thinking of making a journaling thing that's basically just the sims
S it'd be an interface to log needs levels, emotions, moodlets, social interactions, actions, etc.
S how complex it is depends on which game's mechanics I want to implement, I guess
???
71 S protogens and synths have prey eyes and tv heads have predator eyes
gambling
@trysdyn 11 20 S I was mostly thinking about online casinos and stuff (if there even are licensed ones in the US/canada/etc) so that's even easier to rig than a physical machine
S but I guess the regulation is way stricter than I expect for those, which is good
gambling
v0.9.1 71 C disclaimer: I am too much of a square to gamble on anything, and if I do I assume I'm losing it all
S one thing I'll never get is how anyone ever trusts anything related to gambling on something that's computer generated
S like, at least with physical card games / roulette / the lottery if they have a spinny thing / betting on real life events / whatever, they're physical objects, they're harder to rig (though not impossible)
S with a computer it's just, like, ???
you can just adjust the results however you want and guarantee someone loses money as long as they keep playing*, or you can rig it to minimize the amount paid out if it's a lottery-like thing
M *more so than usual
71 S minecraft 1.12.2 is 7 years old
71 I cantor's diagonalization argument but for genders
