geometry

One where you could get 'behind' the geometry of the space ship you were on, run all the way to the other side where the big bad guy for the level was, and shoot him dead up through the floor without him being able to fight back. It was quite fun.

It's a redo of calculus using differential geometry from the start. A very pretty way to do E&M, or calculations on the surface of the Earth, or vector flows.

Some examples from geometry, or permutations, might be more likely to teach the concepts. People who know something about math are going to spot several errors in the presentation.

Yes, the dose is low, but the geometry of the delivery is radically different. For something that affects so many, more testing is warranted.

[PS. Here's an ironic aside about the lengths people have gone to to make 1px correspond as closely as possible to a real pixel: As you say, 'marking a button as "width: 1cm" will almost never render something over 1cm of the screen geometry'. But why exactly is this?

Before you have step 8 covered you will be one of the 100 best-informed people in your state when it comes to 3d geometry and how forces affect objects. You will get irritated everytime you see a crane or bulldozer or escalator or elevator ...

He has an encyclopedic knowledge of algebraic number theory and algebraic geometry, I would say that he's in the top ten people worldwide who could reasonably assess whether Mochizuki's proof is correct. And he has a great nose for bullshit, and little patience for it.

Font design is certainly about planning and calculation, it's just that those calculations need to be based on optics rather than geometry. Instead of perfect circles, we use a shape that is taller than it is wide; instead of splitting the space in half, cross-strokes should be higher than the middle; different strokes need to be different widths in order to appear the same, etc.

In order to transfer heat into the impeller blades you are limited to certain geometry. If the spinning base and/or the blades get too thin you simply won't be able to move the heat out no matter how well it can move from the stationary plate up to the revolving disk. This is critical and it means that there are certain minimum geometry constraints that are likely to make the impeller somewhat massive.

I'm beyond disappointed that the article is about the most important ruling regarding patent law in recent memory, and the overwhelming majority of this thread is arguing about the geometry cited in the judge's order. Rational people understood what he meant, even if maybe it's not 100% mathematically sound.

Worse, this style of programming discourages storing geometry on the card, and that causes additional inefficiency--and trying to use those calls remotely over X causes all kinds of stupid as glx can barely do indirect rendering anyways. Additionally, we have additional vertex stream attributes available now which are very flexible and don't map onto that anymore.

Again we're running into the geeks-trying-to-understand-the-law problem -- they always expect the law to be as sensible and self-consistent as geometry. But the law has no patience with reducito ad absurdum, and judges and lawmakers are quite happy to declare that X is legal and Y is illegal even if in some sense Y is really analogous to X. As far as alternative currencies go, my understanding is that they're illegal under US law but you can get away with them on a small scale.
