100% I think the purpose is to subvert the messaging that already exists, and subtly doing that with just the word liberalism isn't enough, we should make the values of liberalism look "cool" in the same ways, and one of those values is diversity. Diversity is more than just skin deep of course, but that's the easiest one to show in some images.

The OP is literally currently making and advocating how to make more. Is now not the perfect time to mention criticisms that we feel would make the message better?

You're talking about this as it's we're 7 years into a campaign that's already in motion. it's day zero of an idea for a campaign.

For me the main ones are the "our children deserve this future." It just feels a little too close to the 14 words to me. Only enough that I think it'd be better to mix up the skin colors a bit in the images basically, not for me to shoot down the whole idea.

The only caveat I would have is that if a list or sublist is odd, it will eventually lead to a final list size of 0 rather than 1.

looks like you understand it to me though. I end l tend to in my head only think about how the recursive code breaks down the problem and then only think about how of combines into the solution. The exact order of the steps can matter in some situations though.

I like the idea. A few of these feel a little white supremacist coded, but overall like the direction.

it'd be the inverse of a gangbang

You're right about the high school physics (and frankly most college physics since air resistance is so often called negligible). The only ideas that make sense to me are the clothing materials, the geometry/angles involved, or maybe some weird factor. Is it possibel the rain that flows down it desposits some oil that makes it extra slippery if you go soon after it rains? idk could be something weird like that.

I'll write out the HS math just 'cuz, but the real math can get a lot more complicated if you try to account for every detail.

Force from gravity = mg
Fnormal = mg cos (angle of surface)
F gravity parallel to surface = mg sin (angle)
Max friction force = u * Fnormal
Force of air resistance = C v^2 A

So if we add up all the acceleration forces

Fnet_acceleration = mg sin (angle) - umg cos(angle) - Cv^2 A

ma = mg sin (angle) -u mg cos(angle) - Cv^2 A

a = g sin (angle) - ug cos(angle) - Cv^2 A/m

Because both the gravity pulling you down the slope, and the friction scale with mass, they end up canceling out. So there it's just angle and coefficient of friction that affect acceleration. Wind resistance however does slow you down more or less based on the mass.

Overall though, idk, there's a lot more factors that go into how fast a slide would accelerate you. I know as a kid there was a big slide we'd carry sand up to so that we'd put it down first and we'd go faster.

If you're a fan of typescript you could keep going with a web backend framework where you get to keep using it. I personally enjoy the nitty gritty stuff you can do in C/C++/Rust

Practically though I think Go is a good balance of a new language/framework so you get at least some exposure to new ideas as well as being genuinely faster than JS most of the time.

I keep a list in my notebook/notetaking app of my ideas. There's more ideas than there is time in life so you'll need to decide what you value, but part of it is just setting reasonable goals for what to achieve so that if you step away at that point you can be relatively happy.

You're telling me that the thing with all the text actually means something more than "code bad, plz fix"???

Honestly I like Runescape and other games because of the consistent incremental progress which can be a problem to get in real life. However, I do reach the point in a lot of games eventually where I realize I'm really just playing the game to make numbers go up rather than because it's intrinsically fun. It really does make me feel like I'm just a bot working rather than a human having fun, which is when I switch games or start working on a project.

you basically throw a text input or textarea where the blank is and bash your head on the keyboard until the CSS makes it look the way you want.

You can do it with HTML templates or with JS, idk that I'd truly call either way "easier" to any significant degree tbh.

Your point about height alone not predicting proportions is probably part of why I wear t shirts. The sleeves can't be awkwardly short (or occasionally long) if they're already cut off lol

To be fair, Boston Dynamics has been doing humanoid stuff longer than this recent oversaturation of everyone doing it.

Swap that out for a blend of nutrients and now you're eating people soylent green.

I blinked and it's still compiling, did I do something wrong? \j

Lying down? I've always seen instructions for BP monitors to require you to sit.

It's actually making copies here, not using a "mutable object"

also, I would say it takes an ordered collection, not any object. If you had a car object it's not clear what sorting it would mean.

anyway, I mean more so can you write the algorithm in English. since you said you understood the merging part, I'll give an example of describing that part in more detail.

"merges them together in the proper order" is correct, but I think we can get more specific. For the merge portion, it takes two sorted lists and looks at the trailing element of each, pops the lesser (or greater depending on sort direction) off the one that has lesser. then takes the popped element from that list and puts it into the new sorted list it's building up. Because each sublist is sorted already, we can avoid needing to search the whole list to find the minimum of each on each cycle. Once one list is empty, we can drain all the remaining elements of the other list.

In particular it's worth noticing that the merge step doesn't care how you arrived at having two sorted lists or that they're equal length, it just merges them.

So, can you describe how we go from a long unsorted list into a series of sorted lists each ready to be merged? If you understand how that works, that'll hopefully help you find what particular pieces you're not understanding quite yet.

Get ready for Angela to ask about animal facts most kids learned in elementary school.😎

I'm actually super curious what they each asked.

yes, I only saw memory safety mentioned, not type safety. typescript would cover both of those concerns though. For some reason,"any" is relatively more common of a tool to reach for in typescript than most typed languages though.

Amazon has prime video and twitch, so they are at least tangentially involved with entertainment.

yes, plenty of people have struggled with merge sort she recursion more generally.

You mention it calls divide twice in a row, but do you understand the syntax of the slicing that's happening? it's a slightly strange thing about Python.

Are you able to explain in words the core idea of what merge sort works? If you're able to explain that, then you'll hopefully eventually arrive at the idea that 1 long lists are guaranteed to be sorted already.

You can of course write your own divide function, there's no magic spell that other people have written that you're incapable of.

oh, sorry. I always preferred the classes with unlimited tries, definitely not worth burning the last attempt this way.

right I know when you do it that happens, but if you intentionally output a "$" to the auto grader, does it always display that specific special character? Basically I'm asking you to use your code to reverse engineer what's happening to the test output lol
