Numeric Puns

Like is there a certain reading thats always present or do japanese people just kind of know its a pun? For instance it confuses me that 39 can mean both thank you and miku.

So... Keebo, the Ultimate Robot, huh? At the beggining, Keebo's character was just a quick jab to the social movements, as he was literally a minority on the school (a robot) and victim of numerous puns about his conditions and the stereotypes asociated with it.

But when you come to analyze how Keebo manifests his talent and interiorizes it, it is pretty interesting.

A thing I liked about UTDP was the Izuru Kamukura character, because his scenes with V3's cast really put V3's personalities to literally Danganronpa's god. For example, Kaede and him forming an unlikely bond through the music Kaede cared so much about, and what I'm analyzing here: Keebo and Izuru's conversation during the football match on the school festival. Basically, Izuru calls Keebo worthless because his talent is only his existence as a fact, and besides existing as a robot, there is nothing extraordinary about him.

This puts an interesting light to Keebo. He desires so much to become just like the rest of people, but if he does, he'll become a good for nothing regular teenager, even more mediocre than Hajime Hinata, as Keebo has less skills than Hajime on his default form.

Nevertheless, on Chapter 3, he accepted that Miu could add functions to him to become more useful during the investigations of the killing game, with a printer function that allows him to print a screenshot from his memories and a flashlight function that allows the group to investigate Chapter 3's second murder.

On Chapter 6, he becomes a machine of destruction for the sake of his fellow classmates, and he says that his true talent as the Ultimate Robot is that he can evolve in many ways a human couldn't. For example: He adds himself a zoom function so the survivors discover the Nanokumas, and he adds lasers and the capability to fly, things that Kokichi had previously mocked him for not having them.

And well, more than an analysis it was a rant about how I interpretate Keebo's character... I hope you liked it.

This morning I stumbled over a passage from the Diamon Sutra (you can find: this post hear, but it is not necessary to do so) that struck a similar chord with this story about Layman Pang, right from Zen's Chinese Heritage, translated this time by Andy Ferguson:

> Layman Pang attended a reading of the Diamond Sutra. When the speaker reached the phrase, "No self. No Other," Layman Pang calls out, "Speaker! If there is no self and no other,^1 then who is lecturing,^2 and who's listening to it?^3"

> The speaker was dumbstruck.

> Layman Pang said, "I'm just a common person, but I'll offer you my crude understanding."^4

> The speaker said^💤: "What is the Layman's idea?"

>Pangyun^❌💤❌💎 answered with this verse:

> No Self, No Other,
> Then how could there be intimate and estranged?
> I Advise you to cease all your lectures.^6
> They can't compare with directly seeking truth.^7
> The Diamon Wisdom nature^8
> Erases even a speck of dust.
> "This have I heard," and "Thus I believe,"^9
> Are but so many words.^10

Yellow Sage Notes:

1. Zap! Already got him!
2. Wow, howdy get this one right? Layman Pang? He sure fucking did!
3. Like a zap of truth in a time before zaps, but who's not counting. What I don't get, is how he got the answer to match the shape of the numeral of which note this is, back before he knew I'd be composing notes?
4. You will notice that illeterates and barbarians never have to call anyone illiterate of barbarian. Not that they don't want to, Mind, but that just isn't the kind of thing it can truly call itself.^5
5. I learned as I notes that: Snap, popple, fiz! How did they get in the back of my head again? Something was before the zap.
6. Of course this would be six! That's exactly why I advise you to cease all your lectures, too!
7. Just like a seven! One of the "seven sages" (or "wise women" but not "sisters"), that is: how could they compare directly to seeking truth? What would they have to compare it with?
8. Tail swallowed here. I hate numeral puns.
9. We've all seen this before, we always do.
10. Are are. Aye Aye.

Yellow Sage Commentary:

Do you find my reading to be valid?

I wrote a comment on a post yesterday, in which I talked about how the fandom of this game started to distort the characters, in a way which almost denies their original aspects, intended by Toby Fox. I expected a lot of people to disagree, but I was suprised to see it is quite the opposite.

I decided to make multiple posts, talking about one character at a time, comparing their canon aspects vs what the fans changed or added to them, to see if the fandom ended up improving, or ruining them.

Today we discuss about Sans, the face of Undertale.

Starting with the canon, we get introduced to Sans in a menacing way, leading us to believe this character may cause trouble. Turns out, it was just a joke. We understand a few things from this scene. First, he like jokes, and second, he considers himself able to be threathening (if he didn't, he wouldn't expect the human to feel in danger). Along the way, between numerous puns, we learn he is kind of lazy, and that he has powers that are kept vague. We also start to realise that he might be smarter and more aware than meets the eye, even though he appears very rarely near the human. The genocide route reveals even more, I think everybody reading this, knows that. He knows the mechanics of the world and is very tough. A good thing to mention is that, despite what people believe, he seems very emotionless, hiding behind puns and a forever smile. We know his relationship with Paps is very important to him, that's why he threatens the human, that's why he goes absent after they kill Paps, that's why he only shows as a last resort for his world. Under no circumstance he shows fear, uneasiness, sadness, happiness, regret. He never doubts that he will lose the fight, he never doubted anyone, except the human. The scene in the restaurant happens exactly for this purpose, to show that Sans knows something, we don't. To show that he holds a grudge and keeps a very close eye on the human, knowing they are not as innocent as they seem.

Now the fandom. The approach I have seen everyone take with Sans, is that they want to fill up the spaces where the character was absent, and it shouldn't have been. Most notibly, the scene where Paps gets killed. Sans is portraid in great despair, and a vengeful blue eye is born. This is already a big change, since it focuses on giving him an actual character arc, one that tries to be as natural as possible and to answer some questions, like "did he not see Paps die?", "why hasn't he fo

I’m so confident with this

I’ll cut to the chase, look at these parallelisms I copy pasted from the wikia:

”Negi sometimes uses certain topics to start and finish the volumes.

The last page of Volume 1, 2, 3, and 4 (and indirectly 5 & 8) have Fuutarou and Itsuki in it.

The first few pages of the first chapter in the Second Year Saga, Chapter 1, is about Fuutarou and his bride in their wedding ceremony. The last few pages of the last chapter in the saga, Chapter 68, is also about Fuutarou and his bride in their wedding ceremony.

Volume 1: In the first chapter of Volume 1, there is a scene of one of Nakano sister seeing a half-naked Fuutarou. In the last chapter of Volume 1, Chapter 5, Fuutarou sees a half-naked Nakano sister instead.

Volume 2: In the first chapter of Volume 2, one of the focus is a photo of the current Fuutarou and one Nakano sister. In the last chapter of Volume 2, Chapter 14, the focus is about a photo of younger Fuutarou and one Nakano sister.

Volume 3: In the first chapter of Volume 3, there is a scene of Yotsuba waving at Fuutarou. The last chapter of Volume 3, Chapter 23, there is also a scene of Yotsuba waving at Fuutarou

. Volume 4: In the first chapter of Volume 4, there is a game about Nakano Quintuplets' finger game which involves all five fingers. In the last chapter of Volume 4, Chapter 32, each of the Nakano Quintuplets holds one of Fuutarou's finger.

Volume 5: In the first chapter of Volume 5, the focus is about Rena in Fuutarou's imagination and the past. In the last chapter of Volume 5, Chapter 41, the focus is about Rena present in real life in front of Fuutarou.

Volume 6: In the first chapter of Volume 6, the story shows Rena's goodbye to Fuutarou and he falling into a body of water. In the last chapter of Volume 6, Chapter 50, the story shows Fuutarou fell into a body of water and his goodbye to Rena.

Volume 7: In the first chapter of Volume 7, the Nakano sisters watch a love confession in a TV drama with Fuutarou. In the last chapter of Volume 7, Chapter 59, a Nakano confesses to Fuutarou

Volume 8: In the first chapter of Volume 8, Fuutarou is confronted face-to-face by a Nakano, and Miku tells Ichika that she won't lose to her. In the last chapter of Volume 8, Chapter 68, Fuutarou is also confronted face-to-face by a Nakano, and it is Ichika who tells Miku that she won't lose to her.

Volume 9: In the first chapter of the Volume 9, the chapter is about Nino's determination and Miku's failed b

After a long journey from Manchester, Sam Gibs and his friend William Kenway arrived at Euston Station. From there, the two took a ministerial car to Porchester Hall, where they addressed a well-sized crowd. After a brief introduction, Mr. Gibs rose to speak :

"Good morning, folks. My name is Sam Gibs, and I have had the honor of serving as Her Majesty's Secretary of State for Wales this past term. It's my pleasure to be speaking to you all this morning. I have to say that I erroneously thought the name of this magnificent building was PORTchester Hall while writing my remarks. So, unfortunately, you will not be able to hear my numerous puns about 'Free Ports'." - the crowd laughed.

"I know, you're all devastated. I can hear it in your voices". - a follow-up laugh from the audience erupted.

"I imagine you're also devastated, as I am myself, over the Labour Party's recent decision to choose cars over the environment. Now my friend William, your brilliant candidate for Parliament, has already explained how damaging this plan is for our economy--which it most certainly is--. Still, I want to take this opportunity to explain the other ways it's harmful to our great country."

"For a bit of context, I grew up in Wales and have lived there most of my life. But I attended University here at King's College London where for six years I studied urban planning, economics, and landscape architecture. As a result, the environment and quality of life in our cities is something I care deeply about. It is because of this background that I implore the good people of this constituency to seriously consider the negative environmental and social impact of Labour's Tesla Plan. At its core, Labour is choosing cars over people."

"Cities should be built around people and their needs. This means that cities should be walkable and constantly put the pedestrian or individual over the needs of an automobile. Doing such not only makes cities better places to live, but it also helps grow their economies, improve their environment, and builds a stronger sense of community. Labour's Tesla Plan would only make streets more congested, hostile to the pedestrian, and economically lackluster."

"Luckily, Labour is not the only option in this election. You see, London has a special weapon named William Kenway. William understands how destructive Labour's plan would be. More than anyone else I've met in politics, William cares deeply about London citizen's quality of life, and he fu

I'm not trying to be rude but the whining is really getting annoying because it brings attention to things that don't need attention. It's day one of a new champion where half the people still think her passive scales with her HP when it doesn't. Take some time and try to learn the best ways to play her, just because you didn't go into your first game and go 10/0 vs rene doesn't mean she needs buffs.

Exactly what it says. Just wondering what are the downsides to the current most widely used numeric systems as opposed to nonpositional ones used before (like Roman Numerals etc.)

The question of paying off our mortgage ($400K owed/$1.6M valued property at 2.25% 15 year fixed) has been something that's always been on top of mind. So I fired up www.firecalc.com and ran two simulations:

1. Current portfolio value (X) at current yearly spending (Y). This yielded a success rate of 95%
2. Reduced current portfolio X by 400K and reduced current yearly spending Y by $32.4K (no mortgage). This yielded a success rate of 100%!

I was actually surprised by that. My assumption was that paying off the low interest mortgage would make no difference or worse, even increase the failure rate.

Of course all of this is based on models, but if the rest of the assumptions stay the same, I am wondering if there is a financial argument for not paying off the mortgage. Needless to say, I am not considering any emotional pluses or minuses in paying this off.

Am I missing something?

I was throwing toghether a small library for "fluent calculations", with just basic maths. I's mostly part of a "kata" of the fluent pattern; and partly a way to limit PEMDAS-bugs. `3.PowerOf(2).Multiply(10).Divide(2).Add(5)` gets you 50, (can be very helpful).

Challenge is that the code becomes VERY verbose because even just doing the three most common numeric types, (int, double, decimal), it gets really unwieldy:

public static class FluentCalculator
{
    public static int Add(this int source, int value) => source + value;
    public static decimal Add(this decimal source, decimal value) => source + value;
    public static double Add(this double source, double value) => source + value;
    public static int Subtract(this int source, int value) => source - value;
    public static decimal Subtract(this decimal source, decimal value) => source - value;
    public static double Subtract(this double source, double value) => source - value;
    public static int Multiply(this int source, int value) => source * value;
    public static decimal Multiply(this decimal source, decimal value) => source * value;
    public static double Multiply(this double source, double value) => source * value;
    public static decimal Divide(this int source, int value) => source / value;
    public static decimal Divide(this decimal source, decimal value) => source / value;
    public static double Divide(this double source, double value) => source / value;
}

What I would like to do is:

public static class AwesomeFluentCalculator
{
    public static T Add<T>(this T source, T value) where T : int, double, decimal => source + value;
}

Anyone have any ideas around this?

  This is to replace my current Asus Zenbook UX550VE. The UX550VE works wonderfully - only improvements would be better heat management since I get to listen to the fans all day long. Battery lift, quality, ergonomics, connectivity are all great. But I use this laptop 10 hours per day every day, and sooner or later it will die. I almost exclusively use this laptop for programming, and even though I use a plug in mechanical keyboard at my desk, out in the field the lack of a 'correct' keyboard on most laptops now drives me insane.
  All my toolchains and IDEs and windows based so anything non windows is out of the question.
  Performance matters, so the current i7 and 16GB is the minimum required to get the job done.

Hi Everyone,

So lets assume we have a percentage question where a discount has been given on the list price of an object first, but that was followed by imposition of sales tax on it. The stem has asked to find out the change in its price.

So what do we do if the final price is still less than the list price (ie a net discount)?

1 Do we enter the absolute value of the change? or,
2 Do we enter the change with a negative sign to preceeding it?

PS : Haven't appeared in the GRE yet hence asking what is probably a little naive of a question.

I have a table that I would like to transform in query, which converts unique status names and pivots them into columns, and takes each unique account name, summarizes numerical names based on each employee name. Location is unique to each employee name, as well as licensed status. Every row is a different account per employee

Some employees don't need to have a status (new employees) so their values for the status will be null. In the transformed table, column 2-4 would just all be 0.

I've noticed when I use a keyboard that doesn't have a numeric keypad section it makes math courses online a bit more tedious for a already pain subject.

Magic Keyboard with numeric keypad. Purchased directly from Apple a few months before the pandemic - was going to use it in my office at work with my laptop that I took back and forth from home. Pandemic hit. Working from home. I've got two keyboards at home. I do not need this any more. I have probably used this a total of 5-10 hours.
