I cried. For many reasons. I tried to cover it because apparently that was necessary for the Dengue pesticide thing. It fell on my microphone, which fell on the floor. And now the monitor is at least partially dead. Not sure about my microphone. But it’s a stupid monitor only…
It’s about time to only write here every now and then. Sometimes you feel like writing, and sometimes you don’t. Sometimes it’s serious, and sometimes not so. The style will be diffferent from the past few posts. People who are familiar with the crap I write will know what I…
Yeah so I took a well-deserved break from baby-math, because a) I’m a n00b anyway, and b) I wasn’t in the mood for math. It’s not too interesting. So the real symmetry is not between positive and negative ‘numbers’ (whatever they are), but between 0-1 and 1-infinity, and negative numbers…
Yeah so there obviously are numberlines in different bases. Let’s check base 10 first: 0-10-100-1000-10000 etc. 1-9, 10-90, 100-900, 1000-9000 etc. So we can conjecture (obviously it’s true, but hey) that between the ‘first’ and the ‘next’ power of N (10 here) there are N-1 spots that have integers (9…
(Prepare yourself for some really bad math.) I think this is the very final math problem I ever do, because I find it outrageously boring. But I’ll write it down, just for the sake of whatnot. “Infinity” itself seems, as far as I understand, to be poorly understood; and at…
Zoals sommigen waarschijnlijk weten was ik ooit een schaker. Iets meer dan twintig jaar geleden heb ik m’n schaakbord echter aan de wilgen gehangen. Tegenwoordig ben ik oud en traag en speel ik heel af en toe een beetje online. Mijn FIDE rating van 2129 is waarschijnlijk niet eens zo…
I returned to university a few years ago to write some Master thesis and have something to do apart from having my life being wasted by torturous campaigns designed by geniuses. That obviously did not work out, because the range of ‘the genius’ is quite endless so to say. So…
