It would be better to reconsider the source of the formula that involves such powers, and revise the computations leading to it.

Haskell treats - as an unary operator with lower priority than exponentiation

user259867

05:59

I take the point of view that there is no unary minus. -3 is a shorthand for 0-3. If a formula becomes invalid after expanding these minuses, then it was invalid to begin with.

Jan Dvorak

An implementation may provide a more efficient method of negating a number than subtraction from zero.

Also, an implementation may decide to implement a-b as a + (-b) instead.

Which is what hardware implementations do (well, actually, they do a+(~b)+1)

But yes,
> x - y = x + negate y
> negate x = 0 - x

Shower thot: To rotate a function, find the distance from the line y = tan(θ) to y = f(x), the shortest being normal to tan(θ).

Just played with it.

y + a = x * tan(θ) - a * cot(θ)

That intersects with y = f(x), so solving for a:

a = (x * tan(θ) - f(x)) / (1 + cot(θ))

For example sin(x) rotated 45 degrees is (sin(x) - x) / 2

damn negative signs

so confusing

If you read all vaguebooking/vaguetweeting with the assumption that they're saying everything they can without revealing classified military information, the internet gets way more exciting.

@yellowantphil Hustling. Milking. Nursing. Quarrying. Harvesting. Reaping. Swindling. Exhuming. Ingathering. Wringing. Excavating. Fleecing. Pumping. Siphoning. Extracting. Draining. Dredging. Drudging.

Some of those are cooler than farming for rep verbing.

@tchrist you're right. I like “quarrying”

tchrist

@yellowantphil Good for keeping the quarry at bay.

several of those imply you're moving the rep from one place to another, hmm

Why does SO have a higher number of close-votes yet the same number of delete-votes? How come those two don’t scale?

Vogel612's Shadow

@tchrist probably because the roomba takes care of the stuff that needs it

and nobody even bothers delete-voting anymore

tchrist

@Vogel612'sShadow You have to, or it won't go away. Most of them.

Lots of closed stuff is roomba-exempt.

I wonder why there isn’t any Portuguese.SE site, given that there are French.SE, Spanish.SE, Italian.SE — and not to mention Portuguese.SO!

@Vogel612'sShadow that's probably the sad part...

@Braiam I have a sad hunch that I have DV’d more posts on ELU than everyone else but together. And it is frustrating beyond belief that there is no DV queue, so I end up DV’ing the same thing again and again, because otherwise you can’t know that you did so.

A: Can we get some more review queues - questions with delete votes, recently closed etc.?

Some high-rep users regularly go through the recently-close-voted and recently-delete-voted queues accessible from the 10k tools. You can tell this is happening because you often wind up putting the final delete vote on postings whose first two delete votes are from the same small set of delete-v...

On SO, there are people who nibble away at the 10k Most-Delete-Votes-Last-30-Days list. A few.

I don’t think it makes sense to entice people with badges, but it could be made easier and less frustrating.

Braiam

there was a hat for voting to delete

@AstroCB I recall that is a bug
