Philosopher to the right of the mathematician: “You’re welcome for the axioms”

It’s on my old netbook, it will never leave.

That thing is nearing 20 now I think!

Shit, I’m old…

Hey… Wanna go down the geometry rabbithole?

It has points at infinity, area as a function of angle defect, a triangle whose angles sum to 0…

Truth is proof - I can neither prove the number of gods is >0, nor prove it is =0.

Thus cautious agnosticism (since the evidence suggests, if there is at least one god, then they really hate us).

The forehead wrinkles say “nope”.

Microcosmic example. Take 3 people - a newborn (A), a professor of biology (B) and a professor in philosophy ©.

You’re easily able to argue that both professors are more intelligent than the newborn (A<B and A<C). However, you’re unable to establish (in any meaningful way) whether B<C, or C<B; even B=C is out. This is because both professors have knowledge the other does not, so trying to meaningfully equate or order them in relation to one another is an act of futility.

This is a fun example of a partial order that most of us see every day (in a less extreme form).

Shh! Quiet everyone!

…

I can almost make out the words…

Someone woke up this morning and chose violence.

Enshittification is apparently a journey, not a destination.

Yep, that was a very much my fantasy. 9 hours of sleep, with an alarm of “stop right there criminal scum”.

512gb of ram you say? That’s legendary 3rd chrome tab territory.

Tricky one to weigh up there. It might not be that you’re lazy, you may well just be burned out, not working effectively (i.e. overworking yourself), or it could even be imposter syndrome. On the other hand, yes you could just be lazy, or you might just really hate your job. Hell, there have been times where I’ve felt unmotivated because our leadership team were just arseholes - sometimes a lack of motivation goes beyond just your own choices.

There just isn’t enough data in a short post.

Take some leave, go get checked out by a doctor, talk to a friend/partner, take a look at job ads to see if anything sounds better than where you are.

Ah yes, the site for learning more about trump’s upcoming plans. Good share.

That is not how you wake a sleeping student.

You do it by putting a sheet of complex questions in front of them, and then loudly saying “you may now turn your papers over, you have 1 hour to complete the exam”.

Jokes aside, if a student is sleeping in class, you probably want to have a word with the DSL to check up on them after class. Students only sleep if they’re exhausted or you’re really crap at teaching - get one of their mates to wake them quietly without drawing too much attention.

Millennials were also the generation that got to watch the surface web turn into an abandoned mall.

Good times.

Thanks for the feedback - currently weighing up disros (was thinking mint, but a few folks have praised fedora KDE based distros now).

How are you finding it?
