Tell the pilot to cross into another time zone so you have an extra hour. Just make sure they don’t go the wrong direction.

xusontha,

Nah going backwards will just give an integer overflow so you get essentially infinite time

It’s due at 11:59pm, but we teleported forward 1 hour and skipped right over it. We now have 23h07m left!

If you consider the Bounce Theory, you have until the universe resets and bounces back to the due date to finish.

StarkillerX42,

You’re asking a scientist to do a critical calculation without making a sign error first? Lol

alcasa,

Just tell the pilot to fly faster and relativity should handle the rest

scytale, in Always watching, waiting. 👀

Same as the California carcinogen warning on everything making it almost useless.

PeWu, in Please feed your friendly neighborhood grad students

Hey. While I may be doing not quite good choices, at least as a result I’m living in a building high enough that I can jump off of.

Eufalconimorph, in Using a sledgehammer to crack a nut

Well, you’ve got 1. And -1. And sqrt(-1). And the unit pseudoscalars of the Clifford algebras for every number of dimensions.

So there are a countably infinite number of solutions. Can anyone find a bigger set? Something with an uncountably infinite set of solutions?

can, in Using a sledgehammer to crack a nut

Is that Bill Gates?

GBU_28,

Yep, the poorer of the two dudes playing lol

earned_myself_a_gin, in Are you interested?

Can someone explain this? Integral from 10 to 13 of 2x? It’s been a long time since calculus for me, but isn’t that like 2x² + c or something like that?

Mwallerby,

Just x²+c, but when you’re integrating between limits the +c doesn’t matter - so you’re just left with the difference between 13² and 10²…

Templa,

It isn’t that it doesn’t matter, constant of integration is only used for indefinite integrals.

Diabolo96, in The scales fall from my eyes

Choose the lazy route. I am good with learning languages so I went with a diploma in foreign language education. I can’t find a job but eh, even people with doctoral degrees can’t find one in this hellhole. I am pretty good with computers too but it’s meaningless without a certification and there’s no chance am gonna waste 6 month of my life learning basic office tools i already know / can automate programmatically. Sorry, needed to vent.

alcasa,

Tbf in most IT companies nobody cares about certs that are not on some form mandatory. A company caring about certs might be a negative signal to their ability to hire effectively for IT roles

Diabolo96,

Which i was living where you guys live but I am stuck in a third world hellhole.

I mean, it’s so shit that despite a regular monthly paycheck being around 150$ (less than half of India average paycheck ) we have very little foreign companies outsourcing to here.

D3FNC, in Joy

I’m gonna go with “immediately after the fall of the soviet union” when the feds pulled the plug on all funding for higher education in lieu of doing donuts in the parking lot and invading Iraq over and over again

snek_boi, in The audacity

I get that this could be making fun of the idea that a hypothesis is different to a theory, but there are epistemic stances that don’t distinguish between either. From that perspective, both a hypothesis and a theory answer the question of “What do you think is happening here?”

LillyPip, in Joy

When your future began to depend on what you were published in, and those publishers had to compete with corporate interests. Capitalism poisons nearly everything it touches, but especially academia.

ComradeWeebelo, in internet points

Publish or perish.

Academic publishing is in a very weird place and is very, very political. Its true that authors have to pay to have their papers published in most journals or conferences after they’ve been accepted, but like all things academic, this is highly dependent on the field. Some universities will reimburse professors publishing costs, others need to pay out of pocket or with grant/public funding.

While its true that there are open-access journals and conferences without such costs, I would wager that most well known researchers would avoid such avenues of publication due to prestige. The larger journals and conferences have review boards where the top scientists in the world sit on them. As a potential published author with such an outlet, its a great honor to even be considered. Most researchers don’t want to take the risk of going with a less prestigious outlet if it will run the risk of smearing their image or damaging their ability to publish in better outlets in the future.

spiffmeister,

While its true that there are open-access journals and conferences without such costs

To publish open access normally costs upwards of $3k USD as well. There’s practically no point in the publishing chain where academics aren’t getting screwed.

Let’s also not forget that you have to review other people’s papers for the journal for free.

Wait, that means that programmers are NOT single? 😂

I think something is missing there
