That would not end Trump in any way. Just as it has not ended any politicians at all.

Consider: if Kamala ended up on the files, would any liberals vote for Trump?

But, for a random wealthy donor it’d be rather inconvenient to be in the files and they’ll pay for not being included in the releases.

And: a sponsor? Think: most sponsors, and the establishment politicians.

Life is not all about solving problems, high school life even less so.

Personally, I found great enjoyment in coming up with more and more involved plots in the Polar and Parametric modes, where yes I would predict what a graph would look like and then go over to see it. And then go back and iterate. Etc. Until I was painting pictures with functions and had a far greater understanding of the domain than I’d wager anyone who thinks graphing calculations are for finding roots of polynomials could imagine.

Yes, but being cold blooded doesn’t mean their blood is actually cold, it just means that they cannot internally regulate their temperature. For the majority of creatures that means they need external sources of warmth, dragons are unique in that they need external sources of “cool”.
My theory is the dragons actually benefit immensely from sitting atop the gold piles as it acts as an amazing heat sink.

I don’t think that really fits with the metaphor but I wanted to say my piece regardless.

Re:We still don't have a more precise value for "Big G" on Wednesday April 29, 2026 @12:07AM (#47944072)
I appreciate the scientists’ honesty. When asked about big G and time invariance, he says he just takes it on faith that it has been the same forever. If more people would admit their leaps I think the theistic schism would be far more shallow.

Every post/comment is selecting across 100,000+ people worldwide for the individuals most likely to complain about it.

There’s no other place on earth I can invite 100,000 people to disagree with me. Exception is maybe a public office. (Which the vast majority of people shy away from, for just this reason)

Don’t worry, they can get a mortgage!
Follow the money.
Re:Understanding the FFT Algorithm (2013) on Saturday April 18, 2026 @07:16PM (#47820364)
Something like Lomb–Scargle would possibly be a better fit I suppose. But yes that sort of flow, I could do it as a one off with a Python script as you state, but my interest is more if anyone has sunk their teeth into network packet analysis in the frequency domain from the ground up and wrapped up all the learnings into a thoughtfully designed interface.

I was searching for a Wireshark type plugin to do this but I couldn’t find anything.

Alternatively, equally useful would be learning about anyone who has started to do something like this and then realized that it didn’t actually help them analyze anything.

Re:Understanding the FFT Algorithm (2013) on Saturday April 18, 2026 @02:37PM (#47818315)
A bit of a stretch, but does anyone have a good way of running an FFT on a pcap?

Same could be said for SITHOAG. Yet, modern preachers have found far more success with other approaches.

Consider: if the tone of your writing will put off anyone who disagrees with you, what’s the value in “livening it up”? Again, it’s preaching to the choir.

Re:US Bill Mandates On-Device Age Verification on Friday April 17, 2026 @11:51AM (#47807265)
I doubt this sort of rhetoric will convince a modern audience. Reads like “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”.
Re:US Bill Mandates On-Device Age Verification on Friday April 17, 2026 @12:33AM (#47802473)
Writing like this is frankly so exhausting. I don’t think anyone not already in the choir could make it through.

Annoying that there’s no “Made In X” declaration of origin on that site. Isn’t that required by law?
Re:Your Backpack Got Worse on Purpose on Wednesday April 15, 2026 @12:05PM (#47781077)
My strategy with pretty much everything I can is to deeply research to find any Made In USA variant of whatever it is I’m trying to purchase, and buy whatever that is regardless of price. I’ve never had that fail me.

For backpacks, my Waterfield pack has held up fantastically across several years of regularly absolutely stuffing it with gear for my work travel.

The Cubes are the most captivating to me. Organic mishmash of polyhedra and assorted blobs is one thing, but perfect cubes is uniquely striking.
