WRT the 'current thing', it's just internet slang for mocking people who go along with trends. Marc also seems to get hold of neologisms very quickly, as with the whole 'wordcel&#x…

Yes, I agree with your point. But I was talking about nastier cases of corruption, for example, in certain latin american countries some low-cost airlines between central and south america got approve…

Yes, I and my father would 'fall' in the category of rich bored people (or being more precise, well-off STEM grads). It's risky, but it was beautiful. Unfortunately, at the time I took …

I was an amaetur pilot for some time, enough time to conclude from experience and talking to colleagues in the realm of aviation that regulatory institutions across the world enforce the strict (and r…

After looking at several records, it appears that Hispanics have a superscript 0 after the 'W' for white. Hispanic, strictly speaking, is not a race as people from Central and South America …

Simply pretty, I haven't seen an application of that particular expression elsewhere, so I think he was tinkering. Goofing around with curves in Desmos is actually something I do once in a while,…

If I understand correctly, you're probably referring to a stereographic projection [0], and I see that the upper tip would 'close' the inverse image of the graph of 1/x on the sphe…

Yes, I thought so too. But I think the site reasonably and generally fulfills the objective of a 'dictionary'. I was going to reply to your comment with the best introduction to Bézier curve…

In high school I had a Philosophy class, and its book [0] had chapters in which their endings short stories. Two of the chapters (5: Learning and Intelligence, 14: Reality) had interesting excerpts fr…

Thanks. If you input the code multiple times it shows you a number of avatars equal to the number of times you input the code.

Interesting, In what year did this happen? I wonder if it's related to the Eternal September.

Awesome work! I'm using it to figure out the shadows cast by the Twin Towers (417 m. and 415 m., North and South towers, respectively) at different times of the day and different dates. They were…

I saw someone running those 'correlated subreddits' programs and found a significant (although not the strongest) overlap with that sub and the now-banned r/femcels.

It was for me (french school of math), that and also measure theory.

Yes, that's why I can only do so with technical articles rather than conversational/general literature (papers rather than newspapers), the vocabulary is more standardized :)
