Ah. Guess that explains some of it.
They're images.
But not this.

I asked myself a hypothetical question: What if I someday would like to play UHD Blu-Ray Discs on my computer, what do I need? Well...
And because the intended system is a Ryzen it means that I am excluded from playing UHD Blu-Ray Discs even if I wanted to. And it also excludes Intel HEDT computers because of their lack of an Intel GPU. Nice.
So, all in all, copy protection strikes again to make it harder for normal consumers to enjoy their legally purchased products while doing fuck all to stop actual piracy. Well done.
And I assume a normal standalone player doesn't need one of the Intel i7 space heaters? Because I assume a standalone player is cheaper than just the Intel CPU.
-
@topspin Standalone players don't need that, no. These are the requirements for PowerDVD to play UHD BD discs. I guess if you'd go with the cheapest possible i3 the CPU could be cheaper, but yeah. Then you need to add the software too which is ~€99 for the version with the UHD disc feature (most expensive one obviously).

I discovered the same thing when I got a frisbee-player for the gaming computer hooked up to the TV. So I just got myself a proper disc ripping utility and suddenly, all the disc-based media lives on a harddrive and can be played with utter disregard of copy protection.

@LaoC "Nothing major" in a sense of: I can do that within five minutes and it's guaranteed to work.

I don't think that's how fucking permission lists work.
Right now I'm imagining that your little black notebook has Unix file permissions next to the names and numbers.

I sent my phone company a request to change the legal owner of a line. A purely legal and internal operation that the network doesn't have to know about.
Their response: "your request will be effective on X day. Please turn off your phone the night before to allow the transfer to happen without problems".
I'm scared to think of what's going on in their database.
-
zero benefit to the consumer.
Of course; they're not interested in benefitting the consumer. Their only interest in the consumer is extracting as much revenue as possible, directly or indirectly.

Whenever your phone is turned on, it acquires and holds a row lock on your customer information and won't release it until disconnected.

Whatever logjam uses, probably.

It's a minimum of 1 of each character used in the password.

@ben_lubar that makes it a lot easier. Thanks.

The latest Windows 10 updates broke the UHD/HDR/whatever settings in the display settings dialog. The sliders have absolutely no effect anymore, and Windows 10 always outputs an HDR signal regardless of the setting. My monitor "supports" HDR but it does so by going to 25% brightness and turning on chroma subsampling which makes text nearly unreadable. I can no longer fix this on the Windows end and I have to constantly change the settings in my monitor's OSD to make it usable again.
I wish more of my stuff worked on Linux. I've already switched most of my general web browsing to a Mint PC. Win10 is getting so aggravating, and I say that as someone who actually liked Window Vista.

I don't wear a breathing mask when soldering or welding or spray painting, so I'm sure it's a nasty mix of lead fumes and vaporized cellulose and acetone. Should be easy enough to pick up at your local hardware store.

@pie_flavor said in WTF Bites:
They're using a fucked up definition of function...
how so?
-
@pie_flavor Because they're apparently saying a function isn't a function unless its domain is all real numbers. And that's not part of the formal definition of a function.
-
@anotherusername the usual definition says that a function defines one value for a given input. So
f(x) = 1/x
is not a function over the real numbers, since it does not have a value atx = 0
.
-
@boomzilla No, it's a function over the domain (-∞, 0) ∪ (0, ∞).
-
@anotherusername But the question implies that they're not talking about that domain, since
0
is in the desired domain.
-
@boomzilla It's still a function though. One of these guys:
Saying "f(x) is not a function because 0 is not in its domain" is pure nonsense.
-
@anotherusername said in WTF Bites:

Actually, it isn't. It's really a requirement that every element of the source set gets mapped to exactly one element of a target set.
-
@Rhywden As I already said, zero isn't in the source set. Zero doesn't have to be in the source set of every function.
-
@anotherusername said in WTF Bites:
@Rhywden As I already said, zero isn't in the source set. Zero doesn't have to be in the source set of every function.
What? The question states that it's supposed to be a map from R to R. Zero is very much in R.
-
@Rhywden okay, I missed the part where R meant ℝ. And the answer left that part out.
Then it's also not a function from ℝ to ℝ because zero is not in its range, either. Both its domain and its range are (−∞, 0) ∪ (0, ∞) -- not ℝ.
-
@anotherusername said in WTF Bites:
As I already said, zero isn't in the source set.
Except that you made this up. I think it's reasonable to assume (certainly in homework) that the expected domain is the reals unless otherwise stated. And it's explicit here anyways.
-
@boomzilla Not when you're discussing rational functions, it's not reasonable to assume that.
I missed the part where it was saying that it's not a function mapping from ℝ to ℝ, and the answer just said "is not a function". The latter is not correct; the former is. It is a function, but it's not a function mapping from ℝ to ℝ because zero is not in its domain or in its range.
-
@anotherusername The range doesn't matter much for the definition of a function. You just need one unique target for each element from the source set - there's no requirement from the destination set to be complete.
-
@Rhywden Yes, but when you're explicitly talking about what its domain and range are, then the sets are supposed to be complete.
-

We're going to disagree.

"Find the range of these rational functions" is literally homework that I've done, and it was not reasonable to assume that the expected domain was all reals.
-
@anotherusername said in WTF Bites:

They are? News to me. That's what we're using things like injective or surjective for.
-
@Rhywden Okay, you're right. The codomain does not have to be exactly the same as the range, it simply has to be a superset of it.

"Find the range of these rational functions" is literally homework that I've done, and it was not reasonable to assume that the expected domain was all reals.
But there you've been told that these are functions, which is a very different set of assumptions than, "is this a function" sort of question. So you can deduce that you are outside of the function's domain if you find a place where the function is undefined.

That's why newer books don't use "range" at all
