What is is wrong with Java again?
You say it makes you develope bad habits, but on the other hand you glorify python (which has a far easier syntax). What are those bad habits exactly?
>inb4 "its /sci/ence-ish"
I have seen all those pictures. But have never seen a reason for those.

- Babby's first OO
- No operator overloading
- Type erasure is shit
- Too restrictive
Java is a good language for learning the fundamentals of OO without needing to worry about all the nitty gritty stuff. It prevents newbie programmers from making too many mistakes, and a lot of people coming from a freer language like C++ hate the restrictions. Also, Java is shit for math heavy applications.

>You say it makes you develope bad habits
Who says this about Java? Are you sure you're not confusing it with some other language?
>>7968030
I hate that it forces you to do OOP all the time. Sometimes I don't need a whole fucking "class" only for writing a simple function.
Can /sci/ identify this?
A couple weeks ago I started noticing these little brown spots on my body. I didn't give a second thought to it, but now the spots are getting bigger and I'm getting scared
rash, folliculitis (infected pores), maybe skin cancer
just go to a derma
it's a brown recluse

Ingrown hair. Stick a needle in it.
If there is an infinite amount of numbers between 0 and 1, how is either ever achieved? To illustrate this better, .9 becomes .99 and then .999 and so on. Never reaching 1. And same with zero. .1 to .01 and then .001 and so on. Some of you may know this as dichotomy paradox but please I'd like to hear from some of you on this.
you add 0.1 to 0.9 and VOILA !
sup Zeno
Numbers are abstractions.
Now, if you were interested in a physical version of this, like Zeno's Arrow? The universe has a defined "resolution"- the smallest amount of space an object can take up.

Get a PhD in particle physics and then you're golden champ

you should ask on r9k
what's the top school if your goal is to double major in physics/chemistry? i tried googling to no avail
>>7967809
In all honesty, Berkeley is the best school for Chem and Physics. I don't know if you can major in both Phys and Chem, though; they're in different colleges
>>7967809
Any fucking school you want to you piece of shit.

Not OP, not sure how accurate his pic is, but digit ratio is a known indicator of prenatal hormone exposure.
For example, trans women have the same average digit ratio as women, not men.
So I'm teaching a lesson to seventh grade kids about why we need to have controlled variables in an experiment. I have the bulk of it figured out but I want to start out the lesson with examples of experiments where there is obviously no control and it's throwing the entire experiment off course, but I'm having some trouble coming up with any ideas. When I think about it, controls are always obvious and don't do much except create a framework for what's going on and they're usually unnoticeable and boring (especially in the eyes of seventh graders)...

Keeping it a 7th grade level, tell them that you want to measure the amount of a product in a test tube by measuring its height.
(Not sure what country/curriculum, but make it something simple like a precipitate)
Show them that, when repeating the experiment, if you don't measure the reactants that the product will vary in size each time.
Even if you don't need it, just whack out a bunsen burner so they're not bored.

![travel[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/pahKYTs.jpg "travel[1].jpg")
So I was talking to a friend who's doing PhD in particle physics about time travel. And he basically told me that going back in time is basically an impossible concept because the logistic particle changes in time are entirely temporal and there is no recorded history of previous subatomic configurations of positions and rotations and velocity and other properties of matter in any recorded form for anyone to somehow go back and re-live again.
Is this enough evidence to debunk backwards time travel completely or is there a way to refute this ?
>>7977008
I am a physicist and I have no idea what the fuck you just said.
>>7977019
There is no time and all shit happens now.
>>7977024
That's absurd. Relativity of simultaneity prevents the definition of any meaningful universal "now".
I figured /sci/ would know this. How DOES it work?

Well, from what we see on the pic, I guess the magnets are piled up on a wood stick this way :
And so, the magnets push each other

Edit : But these must be some real tough magnets
For Maths and other related topics like Physics, is it healthier to ponder about a question for an extended time that you are stuck at and figuring ways that cannot work, or just moving on and doing other shit in the problem set. Because i'm starting to find myself just taking shit i don't know lightly and starting to develop the habit of wanting to be spoonfed whenever i have some difficulty with something. Would like to hear your imputs so that we could also help others here who are also having this dilemma in their respective STEM courses.
Ask your professor, faggot.
You weren't born knowing everything.
>>7967441
You're framing your question in a weird way. Your real questions "God, this is hard, do I really have to do it?". The answer is obviously yes. If you want to git gud, you need to work hard.
>>7967441
In my opinion it's better to stay on a problem you can do until you do it (since you'll obviously learn something on that problem) rather than moving on to something you already know.

Was he immune to the alignment of Earth's countries? For example if he visited Australia then jumped back to New York would he be on an angle?
What speed do you think he was reaching? Was it beyond the speed of light using worm hole theories?
Any thoughts on the movie as a whole?

What does /sci/ think about the abomination being developed? A.K.A the Chickenosaurus.
>>7967030
You mean feathered dinosaurs? Because thats been established since before jurassic park
>>7967038
No.
It's a chicken mutant, with ancestral characteristics, making it more similar to dinosaurs.

Need your help here
I'm gonna start sleeping 6 hours a day because 24 doesnt give me enough time to do everything I have to
How badly will this fuck up my health?
No shitty /fit/-tier broscience please
>>7973633
You want to crash in 4 days?
>>7973633
It hurts me to tell you this but there are only 24 hours in a day
I slept 6 hours or less nearly every day last semester
Dont be a bitch, just do it
