Weird to flex when you have nothing to show off. Let me show you how you do it, buddy: I am a mathematician. Infinity, density and cardinality of sets are not mysterious to me because I read a lot of books. If you read a few then you might discover your very cool comment above was actually not so cool and true.

I most assuredly am talking about your false statement regarding density.

They should look up the classic example of rationals in the real numbers. Their statement could hardly be more wrong.

As an algebraic topologist who did not even touch anything less "pure" than PDE during my master's degree, I would say the following: You have many possibilities, but you might have to rebrand yourself a little.

I went into a government job (DM me for details as I am already too identifiable). I was really unsure about going the PhD route or not, and ultimately opted for what I thought would make me the most happy. I am pretty sure it was right for me, though it is a little bittersweet in retrospect.

In my opinion the people matter more than the place, and with sufficient freedom and autonomy a mathematician can make any task interesting. Think about how you can make your skills useful for other things than pure maths (in a manner you could also enjoy) and sell yourself to an employer on that premise.

LunarVim is dead I think. In the issues section the (main?) dev says they recommend switching to something else and that they have gone over to Astronvim.

Yeah, it is almost as if the companies operating in the area are price gouging on the basis of workers' salaries 🤔

As a Norwegian I talked to some acquaintances about a TV-series they liked and I asked "Cool, where can I watch it?". Then we all just looked at each other and laughed.

You see, streaming is a service and you choosing to not use their service is... uhmm... theft!

I know I am. I am also entitled to challenge your notion of "this is terrible" that is not really constructive to

I do not like them because the animations are arbitrary, with no proper theme and consistency to how they work and what they actually represent.

This is actually informative.

They do have a working class, but your second point is all too true, which is why it has made no impact.

[–] Urist@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago (2 children)

No, I am essentially asking why they suck if a common user, such as me, likes them. Seems they fulfilled their purpose?
