So I just read Bill Gates’ 1976 Open Letter To Hobbyists, in which he whines about not making more money from his software. You know, instead of being proud of making software that people wanted to use. And then the bastard went on and made proprietary licences for software the industry standard, holding back innovation and freedom for decades. What a douche canoe.


They’re not assuming anything, they are doing calculus.
i tried reading that article. I am waaaaaaaaay too dumb to understand it
Lol, wikipedia in regards to math is always fucky. I love statistics and calculus, and I still struggle through their pages.
It does not have to be your cup of tea, but for the record, reading math does not require being smart so much as being patient.
For the record, i literally said “if the math works out” 😁
I’m a little disappointed this wasn’t a link to the film strip we saw in high school. The cop drawling “Now this here is Rolle’s theorem…” is classic.

Aw, that makes me sad that I never got that. We just had the example in our textbook be a cop at a tollway.
