If my cooking senses are right, it would be like cooking bacon in a stainless steel pan, which is sticky and burny but not impossible

Java is a fine choice. Much prefer it over pseudocode.

It’s possible to have an equiangular quadrilateral, i.e. whose sides are geodesics (the analogue of “straight line” on a sphere). The Gauss-Bonnet theorem implies their total interior angle is greater than 2pi, so four right angles can’t work.

Here’s an interactive demo of quadrilaterals on the sphere: https://geogebra.org/m/q83rUj8r

Notice that each side is a segment of a great circle, i.e. a circle that divides the sphere in half. That’s what it means for a path to be a geodesic on the sphere.

Good point. Four equal angles, then, although they will each have to be greater than 90 degrees.

Four right angles.

I have read programs a lot shorter than 500 lines which I don’t have the expertise to write.

These things are specifically not defined by the protocol. They could be. They’re not, by design.

It doesn’t, it just delegates the responsibility to something else, namely xdg-desktop-portal and/or your compositor. The main issue with global hotkeys is that applications can’t usually set them, e.g. Discord push-to-talk, rather the compositor has to set them and the application needs to communicate with the compositor. This is fundamentally different from how it worked with X11 so naturally adoption is slow.

Okay, but this makes more sense as an instance method rather than a static one

Instance properties are PascalCase.

Yeah, properties (like a field but with a getter and/or setter method, may or may not be backed by a field) are PascalCase

That’s an instance property

Well, we knew he was a shitbag beforehand, so that’s not really what’s in question

Stokes’ theorem. Almost the same thing as the high school one. It generalizes the fundamental theorem of calculus to arbitrary smooth manifolds. In the case that M is the interval [a, x] and ω is the differential 1-form f(t)dt on M, one has dω = f’(t)dt and ∂M is the oriented tuple {+x, -a}. Integrating f(t)dt over a finite set of oriented points is the same as evaluating at each point and summing, with negatively-oriented points getting a negative sign. Then Stokes’ theorem as written says that f(x) - f(a) = integral from a to x of f’(t) dt.

Yup, you’ll notice the only thing distinguishing C from R^(2) is that multiplication. That one definition has extremely broad implications.

For fun, another definition is in terms of 2x2 matrices with real entries. The identity matrix

1 0
0 1

is identified with the real number 1, and the matrix

0 1
-1 0

is identified with i. Given this setup, the normal definitions of matrix addition and multiplication define the complex numbers.

One definition of the complex numbers is the set of tuples (x, y) in R^(2) with the operations of addition: (a,b) + (c,d) = (a+c, b+d) and multiplication: (a,b) * (c,d) = (ac - bd, ad + bc). Then defining i := (0,1) and identifying (x, 0) with the real number x, we can write (a,b) = a + bi.

Before I blocked the instance I had nothing but miserable interactions with Hexbear users, and it had nothing to do with political opinions.

I tend to agree, but I also don’t see it as a fault of Linux/Arch. If you’re not the sysadmin for your own system, who is? I’d rather do it, assisted by the collective knowledge of the community, than have Microsoft do it for me. For the last few years it’s only required a handful of interventions, with the vast majority of time being spent on initial setup and (re) configuration rather than fixing bugs or addressing breaking changes. So IMO it’s more of a test of your personal willingness to invest time into learning and building things than your ability to diagnose and solve technical issues.
