btw, I’m stealing this and turning it into a writing prompt over on Literature Cafe.

The game is hampered by a lack of any retry-mission/save/load feature. Right now, players are stuck indefinitely with the negative consequences of their mistakes.
Who knew a company with an unhealthy obsession with harvesting every screen tap of data from every person using their services… would chicken out from connecting their servers to a bunch of clients they couldn’t monitor.
… That said, I actually didn’t see this coming. It baffles me that I didn’t, but I didn’t.
I like Joplin’s cross platform sync. I hop between phone and PC constantly with it.
Plus “math skills” is one of those areas where stereotypes and self-fulfilling prophesies have incredibly influential power.
Math is difficult for everyone, and emotional factors like, “having the confidence of yourself and your peers” are important in making it through difficulty.
Oddly enough, on a computer, I have not seen secant, cosecant, or cotangent.
I have seen sin, cos, tan, arcsin, arccos, and arctan.
Though the arc functions will only have one parameter, so if this is homework, you’ll probably be avoiding the arcs and using secant and friends
Anyways:
Term | In this example |
---|---|
Parameter | Angle is the parameter. It’s in radians, so in Java you’ll use a conversion like Math.toRadians(a) on whatever number you’re going to use as an argument |
Argument | If I were to call sin(Math.PI / 4) then I would be passing the argument π / 4 to the function. |
In other words, if a parameter is a question, then an argument is an answer. If a parameter is a coin slot, than an argument is the coin you choose to insert. | |
Operation | An operation is practically synonymous with “function”. It is performed on inputs to arrive at an output. However, usually in code, I hear “operation” used to describe things like / , * , and + . Things that have multiple inputs and a single output, all of the same form. |
If someone is asking you, "which operation should you use in the body of function sin ( hyponetuse, opposite )
then I imagine the expected answer would be, /
because
/
is an operation, and becauseopposite / hypotenuse
will perform the division that yields the sine of whatever triangle those two sides belong to.An algorithm is the meat of a function. It’s the “how.”
And if you’re using someone else’s function, you won’t touch the “how” because you’ll be interacting with the “what.” (You use a function for what it does.)
You will be creating your own algorithm by writing code, however. Because an algorithm is just a sequence of steps that, taken together, constitute an attempt at achieving an objective.
Haus is saying all the little steps that go into approximating sine occur directly on the hardware.
Ahhh… okay, yeah. That also makes sense.
… and maybe that’s why it was “previously active”?
The only way I can make sense of Lurker’s comment is:
maybe Lurker didn’t realize my edits to the post came after some people’s comments (my edits definitely came after your comment, derf). Lurker may have assumed you were dismissing the practicality of the Asia-Australia Power Link, mentioned in my edit but not in the original post.
Assuming the above, this is a miscommunication.
Assuming anything else, Lurker’s comment doesn’t make that much sense.
So we heavily incentivize industrial sites to shift operation to hours during which power production exceeds demand?
That said, R.J. Gumby was able to give a fantastic link about the storage technology currently in use.
I believe the article is arguing that we need to scale them up. Although: it mentions that the Tennessee Valley Authority already uses pumped hydroelectric storage at the foot of Raccoon Mountain (side-note, I know nothing about Tennessee, but somehow naming a mountain “Raccoon Mountain” confirms all of my stereotypes about the state), to supplement its grid during low-production hours.
Yeah, the 450 mile one – the North Sea Link – is the “longest subsea interconnector in the world.”
I think over land, you can manage longer distances (China’s transmission projects go thousands of miles), but even those aren’t going the full 3310 miles it would take to cross the Atlantic.
Which is, I’m assuming, the reason that hydrogen use and production are expected to vastly increase in the next 30 years.
Oh thanks for the link! This is a good one. According to the article we’re already using:
And the article ends with,
“The price of storage is coming down. The price of solving the problems in other ways is going up. Pretty soon, these prices are going to cross,” notes Boyes, suggesting cost could spur the addition of storage to the grid.
Australia too, according to a video I found.
Wait! Never mind. I should have done a simple web search before posting this question.
I found a video on it.
England already has two oversea electric cables that connect it to France on the one side and Scandinavia on the other. They have more than paid for themselves already, indicating that this a solution already being implemented in parts of the world… At least for short distances.
Even the babies have evil in their hearts.
Hmm… so an approach that would have gotten Rodeo’s point across better might have been to say,
Because democracy is such a broad word that it is occasionally applied to the United States, despite the CIA’s history of coups and the FBI’s history of extrajudicial assassinations of citizens.
