Let’s play a game of “Fortunately, Unfortunately“. Respond the previous post (the first comment below this post) by replying this post (not the previous post!)
I’ll start with: “I found this website.“
In my technical math midtest I’ve been asked to turn a circle at an offset into its “ball coordinate” representation and at first I was confused about what this ball coordinate means
10 minutes left and I figured it’s probably polar coordinates, so I did that (it had a nice cancellation as well)
Some mistakes:
I need to compress (cos θ - sin θ), and I forgot how the general equation looks like. I do know that cos(A+B) = cos A cos B - sin A sin B (since I had to prove that earlier), so I just had to figure out what B makes cos B = sin B so I can factor it out later. I thought cos 45° = sin 45° = ½, but it’s not after I left the exam room when I realized it’s not ½ but ½√2
Turns out what the lecturer meant on “ball coordinate” is the equation r = …, not polar coordinates (though it’s close)
So either way I answered that question wrong
Got an ad with this hilarious text at the beginning

(there’s an envelope under the E)
You know what? The claims that naysayers that techie people made (either against them or their own kind) are so freaky, it almost feels like a conspiracy theory.
edit: grammar fix
wait, people get addicted to chess?

This conman has been caught false advertising.
Should we execute him?
why did it cross my mind that gofundme (and others like that) is a place for e-begging
I had an idea of a bot that sends hourly (or if not possible, daily) posts that people have submitted to the bot. (The bot never reuses the messages people submitted.) Kinda like a bulletin board that people queue to get their messages in.
Not sure where I would host it in since I have none of such currently, but it’s an interesting idea that I would like to use for my own ;)
Google made (showed) a bullet hell game and I didn’t even notice it
edit: the bullet hell is not as un-hell as I thought, also nice music
Imagine getting locked out on your own assignment repository (even when the deadline is still 24 hours later)
Not because I should, but because I can.
Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
Do you want to use a reasonable library with its last commit being 6 years ago, or a bloated one with 8 hours?
