That requires neither engineering-level math nor paper nor patience. All you need is the chain rule and some basic knowledge of sine and cosine:

The derivative of cos is -sin, but because of the 6x you get an extra factor 6. The sine function is periodic on 2pi, so sin(6*2pi + pi/2) = sin(pi/2) = 1. So the result is -36

The one time I can think of is Alesi/Berger who moved from Ferrari to Benetton for the 1996 season

Oh, you’re absolutely correct. My bad. In my defense, I was confused by this slightly broken table in the German Wikipedia. I didn’t realise there were normal race weekends after USA, Brazil and Qatar.

The constructors title is in danger, there’s no doubt about it. For the drivers title however, Verstappen still holds a comfortable cushion. Even if Norris goes full domination and wins the 6 remaining feature races, Verstappen can defend his lead by only finishing 3rd each race. Norris’ only chance are basically DNFs from Verstappen or another constructor stepping up and consistently finishing between him and Verstappen

Don’t forget first party Linux support and Proton to add Linux/Mac support to many windows exclusive games.

The last times May 4 was on a Thursday were 2006, 2017 and 2023. The Core 2 wasn’t released until July of 2006 so I’d guess the correct year is 2017, but even then the hardware was already pretty dated. For reference, in 2017 the first generation Ryzen prozessors and Intel Kaby Lake (7th generation Core i) were around.

The difference is, that you could just continue using XP until Win7 was released or continue using Win7 until Win10 was released. Win10 will reach end of life next year and then the only supported Windows will be Windows 11. Vista or Win8 were never as forced as Win11 is now.

Plot twist: the products were placed by competing brands because they knew the product placement would backfire

As long as they insist on using people’s dead names I will only refer to them by theirs.

Don’t, an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind. Fight them, but never drop to their level. Then they’ve reached their goal and it’s lost. Be better than them.

I had the idea to do the reverse and throw the 5e Tarrasque at my players in my PF2e when they are around level 8* or so. Basically using one of the most powerful DnD bosses as a mid level side boss.

* I haven’t done the exact math yet

Apparently x dot com stayed with PayPal until 2017 when Musk bought it back. While we don’t know the price, it’s probably been in the millions

Three words are absolutely sufficient:

You wanna fight?

Isn’t the main argument of Christianity that the second option was better than the first?

No, not at all. There was also Quinn who won a Gold medal at the same Olympics. And Laurel Hubbard won silver at the World Championships and gold twice at the Commonwealth Games but was 43 years old by the time of the Tokyo Olympics.

Additionally, you have to consider that the current rules regarding trans athletes are only in place since 2015. Before it was required to undergo sexual reassignment surgery and have your gender legally changed. And even after the changes, many trans athletes couldn’t compete at the Olympics because the governing bodies of their sport are more restrictive. So even if trans athletes have a “big advantage”, there are plenty ways to explain their lack of presence at the Olympics.

That’s just factually incorrect. Laurel Hubbard qualified for and competed at the Tokyo Olympics.

Minecraft was just the example they used in the post but I agree. Minecraft is no indie game studio anymore atleast since Microsoft took over. But at least the free update policy hasn’t changed since the takeover

The Factorio Devs made this Blogpost some time ago about how to go forward with development. It basically boiled down to developing a big (paid) expansion pack. I would be totally fine with Stardew Valley doing the same. However, going for free updates was discarded for Factorio because they have a “smaller but more dedicated audience [compared to Terraria and Minecraft]”. I don’t think that applies to Stardew Valley so free updates might be the way to go.

To be fair that’s mostly a case of “even a broken clock is right twice a day”. Psychology was still in its infancy back then and they had so few ideas how to actually help people that insulin shock therapy and lobotomy seemed like good ideas. When looking at it with modern knowledge it’s easy to say they already knew when pointing at the bits of decent ideas back then. In reality that’s cherry picking between the heaps of wrong and outright dangerous ideas prevalent at the time.
