Okay, I’m tired. Not quite inverse but per the title , must be a way.

eml(1,eml(x,1)) = eml(eml(1,x),1) = exp(ln(x)) = ln(exp(x)) = x

> eml(x,y)=exp(x)-ln(y)

Exp and ln, isn't the operation its own inverse depending on the parameter? What a neat find.

Sharing our Mac themes simulators? Here is my entrant: https://hcsimulator.com/ Full compatibility with HyperCard stacks, including their resource forks if they are in StuffIt archives.

Sometimes it seems like the job of rules is to have exceptions to break them.

How sure is this author that this isn’t a parody account?

> Unclear. But the more pressing question is, how is she tweeting from prison at all? And are these tweets real?

So no idea.

I'd like to see something like Carbon for old apps so that they boot in modern window frames (without the missing Tahoe corners) and can save to files.

Literally just getting old. I’m not even old, just not young.

I don’t just eat junk, but it’s hard to experiment with a whole dietary change when you have sporadic inflammation. I guess that’s why we do scientific studies, right?

Can I take a capsaicin and a mint supplement together? Is that enough to get the effect?

> Division by zero is not a runtime error — it is a type error.

Uh, help me out here, which kind of type error? You have a separate nonzero integer static type required for the denominator of the division operator?

I don’t know. When I jam out a comment I seem to summarize at the end when I’m done, and then I reread quickly and see the summary made a weird conclusion but was a fine introduction.

It does appear a bit mechanical, like something the system would do. Maybe a submission should always automatically find all previous discussions as an automatic comment.

My current best way to write is to just write everything that amuses me, then go back and edit out the tangents, and then usually reverse the order of the paragraphs.

I would actually like a setting for less. I don’t like upvote downvote social dynamics. How about giving me a mode for a simple conversation by time, without the hierarchy.

You could make that claim about all of public society in some way. Why go anywhere, unless it’s to be spied on and spy on others.

This is honestly a tell about you. “Smart people” doesn’t imply that everything that comes from them is smart like they’re a branch of life with left-handed proteins. It’s much more complex.

The blatant obvious deficits are where the money is made. The articles are written to help you focus either on pie in the sky or on meaningless stock jitters.

> They were carpetbaggers and dilettantes convinced by their own inexperience and the advice of a onetime VJ that they could pull off something I’d twice helped quote to be brought home by a cadre of hardened killers with shitloads of math and know-how at eye-watering prices. They were way way way over their heads and were in no way interested in updating their priors in light of the shit they were swimming in.

And yet, somehow, you gave them the most important time you had for their promises.
