    Oddly enough, if you take the derivative of f, you get the constant function 0.

    Many interpret this to mean that “all memes are derivative”, which is true, but not the cause.

    The real cause is that the value of any given meme is equal to the value of any other given meme. Doesn’t matter which one you look at, they all fail to make you laugh.



  • Who is harmed by this? No one living. Maybe you could argue Hitler has some right to not have his remains disturbed, but DNA testing isn’t very invasive and we do it at crime scenes without consent all the time, so it’s minor even if relevant.

    What could we learn? Nothing of value. Even if there is some “psychopath gene” or “genocide gene” you’d need 100s of examples to show the effect and far easier to just pick such candidates from living, diagnosed people who can consent.

    So then should we do it? Probs not. No real reason to, even though there’s little reason not to.

    I mean, there’s a value in trying to be an impartial commentator as long as you can be one. Which is what I think they were aiming for. But that can only exist as long as you are not literally under attack by the current administration.

    So on “he should have called out Trump sooner” - yeah, sure an open liberal/leftist should have, but that’s not what LegalEagle has been aiming for his persona to be.


  • Disclaimer: I have a dream job for me and my experience is probably not representative.

    Go on open.kattis.com, pick a problem, solve it. That’s what 40% of my job is like. 20% more is reading through and understanding where the right place for this bit of code to live or what bits of code I should be reusing to make it. Another 20% is discussing with other engineers the tradeoffs of solving a problem with x vs y and picking what to do, and the last 20% is reviewing code, i.e. making sure other people solve their problems correctly and don’t drop a bunch of hack in our tree.
