No, he was a white knight cuck like pic related. He could have been from lib arts or business, as it usually is.
Never pick up a woman who was a slut, because she will forever be a slut. You may fuck her one or more times. You can use her for all I care. Actually, even have her as your gf if that will secure easy sex.
BUT NEVER EVER EVER AND I MEAN EVER MARRY AN EX-SLUT.

I would get married if the rules of engagement didn't give all the power to the woman. It's better to get rich and fuck bitchez like fuckdolls until you die.
Hi, can someone here help me with some python?
I am trying to generate a list of random length (but between 3-15; in following example), containing random integers (between 1-10 in following example).
At first I tried using the random.sample function:
>a=random.sample(range(1,10) , random.randrange(3,15))
But then learnt that it picks unique elements from the given population - hence the length of my first argument must be greater than the value of my second argument.
What other methods are there that I can generate a...

[random.randint(1,10) for i in xrange(random.randint(3,15))]
>>7810261
You could try numpy
def ran_list():
return np.random.randint(3,16,random.randint(1,10))
>>7810263
thank you. that fixed it for me.
i slightly modified it and am now using:
>testlist=[random.randrange(0,100) for i in range(random.randrange(2,20))]
(ignore the different number ranges i selected).
thanks, bye!

I hope you're not the same person creating these threads regularly OP

Not me. First of these threads i've seen, other threads always include American fucktard schools. And I agree with your list with the addition of ENS Ulm and Uni of Warwick.

Ok so Man of Steel kind of sucked but it does make me wonder
will people ever evolve to the point where we are no longer creatures who reproduce sexually? I mean, think of how convenient it would be if we could just facilitate the whole process through futuristic technology, and no longer have to spend so much time bending to the will of your primitive instincts which beg you to begin a relationship and have sex and all that stuff. It takes up so much of our lives.
Of course we will. One day in the future babies will be made in artificial wombs, allowing women to be more productive and less exposed.
More genetic extremes will be women born without a womb or any of that bullshit that make them bleed each month.
The most crazy would be removing the men's balls, removing the sperm and all the mess that brings.
Sex can continue for fun and socializing but all the hassle of nature will be removed.

I'd like it based on the fact we would be able to control the population.
Ein paar deutsche Anons hier die mir bei diesem Rätsel helfen können?
(Bild relatiert auch)
Es ist eine verschlüsselte Matrix. Der Schlüssel ist
A=5 -3
. -3 2
Es muss von links kodiert werden
245 215 285 515 275 345
378 348 448 818 428 558
(Die Zahlen und der Schlüssel stehen so übereinander wie hier nur halt in einer klammer wie bei einer Bruchrechnung)
Wenn die Matrix decodiert ist setze für a=11, b=21, c31usw bis y=251, z=261
Niemand?

Is there any way to get good at the fundamentals of calculus except banging my head into dozens of repetitive and formulaic questions?

I bet you are one of those spergs who think that geniuses are just autists who didn't even have to work all that hard, they just naturally knew everything.
Yeah yeah, fuck off.
If you're a strong fundamental reasoner/algorithmic intelligence then yes there's a way for you to learn at a more rapid pace provided a specific kind of post-singularity information that only people like us can generate. If someone comes to you asking for solutions to NP-hard or NP-complete problems, tell them to kindly fuck off and solve negotiation theory in their own timeline and stop concealing their temporally parasitic aspect using time travel.
NP stands for non-polynomial. There's a thread on this board right now where you can see a shill soliciting...

Well, I'm studying engineering, but I found that the engineering method for learning calculus (rote memorization) is shitty as fuck.
Learn things "the hard way". In this case, learn calculus as a math major would, read and understand the proofs, and then things will stop being a clusterfuck of stamp-collecting and will turn into simple logic.
Are there any metallurgyfags who lurk here? If so, what resources can you recommend an anon who just wants to learn the piss-easy shit of this subject?
>inb4 google.com and people making this a scientist vs. engineer thread
>>7808874
any introductory material science textbook. hopefully you took general chemistry.
Majority of engineers take a fairly large course that serves as an introduction to Materials Sciences.
My book for that class was called "Materials Sciences and Engineering: An Introduction".
http://www.amazon.ca/Materials-Science-Engineering-An-Introduction/dp/0470419970
There are a billion similar books out there. They all cover roughly the same material.
You'll struggle to understand without a decent grasp on first-year engineering concepts (think, basic Chemistry and Mechanics)
Engineers are fags lol
hi /sci/ i have to study for a test tommorow about residue theorem. Id like to have some exemples .
Can you pls solve me these exercises .
>>7810206
The first one is trivial. The next two are also pretty easy.
You suck op.
If you want to study, imo, do lots of problems. The more you do, the more you get a feel of what to look for on each one.
Some general ones:
1. Draw the region described.
2. Find the number of poles, if any, and the order of each.
3. Compare them to the given region. Which ones lie in it? Which ones don't?
4. Then just apply Cauchy Residue Theorem.
Anything else, and it gets problem-specific.
I hope this helps a little.
>>7810206
Those are pretty easy OP, just use the cauchy integral formula

Has anyone read this book?
is it pseudo-science or a good critic of materialism?
can you also recommend more literature which criticizes materialism?

where do you steal textbooks from now? Just got back in school and used to use libgen which isn't working. Tried all the links in the sticky and nothing.
genlib

what? That's the same thing I said? genlib is url but libgen (library genesis) is name. The book I want shows up but none of the links work

which is it?
About negative temperature:
I understand how you can get it in a system and so on, but why does it not break the second law of thermodynamics, as entropy is decreasing in the system? Obviously I did not fully understand the second law, but what is the explanation?
>>7810143
It's a sliding scale thing; the universe's most cold temperature is absolute zero. In worlds that allow for non-entropic energy system, cold magic can dip down into the negative millions. It's often a very good way to put a permanent end to something.

The way things are going it's not going to be as bright as it could.
Things are looking very grim internationally, and I have reasons to believe another Great Depression is just around the corner.
Lots of people here have learned a great deal by teaching themselves from books. I think that's interesting and am informally surveying anyone here who likes to learn from textbooks:
A. Textbooks are usually really long. How much time do you usually find you spend with a text before you feel comfortable with a topic, confident?
B. How do you process a textbook? Do you start at page 1 and work straight through, including exercises? Do you start with exercises and go back to the chapter? Do you read everything once then go back in depth with the exercises?
C. Any input you feel is helpful/important to digesting knowledge from a textbook

I have been studying Jech on and off for two years, working through it linearly. I take breaks from it sometimes to study other texts, but I study for hours a day. I always read textbooks linearly. I have taught myself exclusively through self-study; as an undergrad I almost never attended class, preferring to self-teach.
>>7807998
>A
Depends on the size and content. Computer science/programming textbooks usually take me 1-2 weeks. Maths textbooks on a single topic (e.g. linear algebra or calculus) and less than 500 pages take me between 2 weeks and a month. A big and dense textbook (eg. microelectronics/sedra) can take me more than 2 months.
Generally the more broad the content the longer it takes for me.

Stop being a kid. You will never be able to do science with this mindset.
When I was a kid these educational sex shows were the only porn I had for a period.
Then I got the internet.
