Thanks for the tip! Interestingly, I found it weird how the app handles order-of-operations.

That is, if you type 1 + 2 / 2, the answer shows up as 2 and the paper tape shows

  1 + 2 / 2
  = 2
However, if you type 1 + 2 = / 2 (that is, you type equals after the 1 + 2, which will show 3 on the screen, before typing the / 2 part), the last line of the paper type shows

  1 + 2 / 2
  = 1.5
They need to add some parentheses in there.

My daughters both have their own .22s - they're 8 and 14.

They have .20ga shotguns, too, but don't get nearly as much use out of those.

We currently live in a neighborhood, and my biggest fear in letting them run around is other people calling the police on them for just being unattended. I've already had that happen once, while they were in my own front yard.

We're in the process of looking for a bigger property, further away from other people, where our kids can actually be kids. We'll be able to keep some livestock, and they can ride four-wheelers, gokarts, and dirt bikes. Today they can only do those things when we take them somewhere there's room to do it.

PlantingSpace | REMOTE (Europe time) | Full-time | https://planting.space

We are an early-stage research and development startup, with an ambitious goal to build a system capable of understanding knowledge, to answer questions and get things done.

Our work leverages cutting-edge domains such as Probabilistic Programming and Applied Category Theory. Initially we’re focussed on building a system that can receive queries in natural or domain specific language, provide good answers and an insight into its reasoning.

Skill areas we’re looking for:

- Software engineering (Julia): to build our core system

- Research across areas: to develop our theoretical framework

Useful experience: algorithms, Bayesian statistics, symbolic computing, optimization, category theory, information theory.

If you want to learn more about our company, get some insights into what it’s like to work in our team and participate in our retreats, check our out Join Us page: https://planting.space/joinus

"Extract a data-flow representation from a program based on its (unstructured) control-flow graph optionally using the data-centric RVSDG intermediate representation. The program can be assumed to have no side effects (purity), such that it only contributes to the production of final values. This work will however be used for further introspection of programs, and not for executing optimizing compiler passes"

Amazing that cell walls are strong enough to maintain integrity at that size!

A simpler way multiplication is recursive is the way it is defined for natural numbers in mathematics:

  a × b = 0                if b = 0
  a × b = a + a × (b - 1)  if b ≠ 0

nonsapreiche · 3 years ago
a x b = a if b = 1

Maybe the trick is to just teach it young. I first learned about the towers of Hanoi when I was about 14. Blew my mind. It was like circular reasoning that worked somehow.

Unlike a lot of people, I don't have this fear/anxiety about recursion. In fact the opposite. I friggin love recursion. I actively seeking out the recursive answer. It doesn't hurt my brain. In fact the opposite, it's gratifying on an almost sexual level. At some point in my apartment we had a recursion bin next to the recycling and normal trash. Inside of it was a power strip plugged into itself.

Maybe the trick with recursion is to teach it while the brain is still a bit plastic. Don't assume teens are too dumb. Talk to your kids about recursion, before it's too late.

Perfect! I'll add not to teach recursion (or any hi lev math) before 14teen
