Letā€™s play a game of ā€œFortunately, Unfortunatelyā€œ. Respond the previous post (the first comment below this post) by replying this post (not the previous post!)

Iā€™ll start with: ā€œI found this website.ā€œ

It used to be difficult for personal computers to do more than one thing at a time.

Starting with Windows 95, itā€™s easy.

Start multitasking. Start Windows 95.

In my technical math midtest Iā€™ve been asked to turn a circle at an offset into its ā€œball coordinateā€ representation and at first I was confused about what this ball coordinate means

10 minutes left and I figured itā€™s probably polar coordinates, so I did that (it had a nice cancellation as well)

Some mistakes:

  • I need to compress (cos Īø - sin Īø), 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 45Ā° = sin 45Ā° = Ā½, but itā€™s not after I left the exam room when I realized itā€™s not Ā½ but Ā½āˆš2

  • Turns out what the lecturer meant on ā€œball coordinateā€ is the equation r = ā€¦, not polar coordinates (though itā€™s close)

So either way I answered that question wrong

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

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 itā€™s an interesting idea that I would like to use for my own ;)

Google made (showed) a bullet hell game and I didnā€™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)
