    Re: “rote learning of multiplication tables”

    It’s really just caching for some frequently used information. Some information is more frequently needed than others, so it’s worthwhile to commit them to memory for quick access rather than to recompute or re-lookup every time the information is needed.

        Would be cool to live in a time when caricaturists were indistinguishable from portraitists.

        Education is extremely important.

          Not one, but two Sisyphus jokes.

            I wanted to add a third but it was an uphill climb.

                          @mark Funny! But it can't qualify as geek, on account of I understood it.

                          Okay, maybe geek junior grade . . .

                            Time for some CT jokes.

                            Once I was thinking what the category of my ex-girlfriends should be. Then I realized I was treating women as objects.

                              Let C be a category. Let X,Y∈C be objects. Assume that the induced representable presheaves Hom(⋅,X) and Hom(⋅,Y) are naturally isomorphic. Then how do you prove that X and Y are themselves isomorphic? Yo ned a lemma for that.

                                Just stumbled upon this part of a movie plot description:

                                This first encounter, which ends with Jerôme casually leaving her to fix his moped, leaves her disappointed, while Seligman observes that the combination of the number of times Jerôme penetrated her, three times vaginally and five times anally, resembles the Fibonacci sequence.

                                    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                          It’s somewhat dated and incomplete. It’s still stuck with IPv4, and a typical consumer smartphone/tablet/computer these days has multiple physical (MAC) addresses.
