« on: October 19, 2013, 03:51:15 AM »Is ice skating at all similar to roller blading?Kinda, except skating has way less friction, so you can move more easily. And you can achieve much higher speed.
I used to be really good at roller blading
I used to do speed skating for quite some time, so I've spent hundreds (probably thousands) of hours on the ice. The rush you get from skateing around at 30 mph is incredible!

Reminds me of an old build of mine:
I started out with the Norwegian, German and USA flag, but soon everyone who came to the server wanted their flag :)

Off Topic / Re: Calculus Help: What is a derivative?
« on: October 10, 2013, 06:05:27 PM »I'm not sure you completely understand the concept... Derivatives are not necessarily graphsI know, I know. But it is often (at least for me) helpful to visualize abstract concepts such as this, instead of just thinking about it purely mathematically. It makes it easier to remember and understand.
The power rule is useful for easily evaluating the most basic type of polynomial function, such as how the derivative of x^2 is 2x. As for the rate of change thing, you're right and there's nothing wrong with describing derivatives as such, but I find that it's a limiting definition. For example, you can find the integral of distance, making the derivative of that function the distance. But what would you call that function? The distance function is the rate of change of the unknown function, but it gets more and more confusing the further away you get from known quantities. It's easier imo to just relate it to slope and not think past it
That's why I don't like stuff that can't be understood by visualisation, such as quantum mechanics (bleh!) and (to some extent) statistics...

« on: October 10, 2013, 05:38:48 PM »Your mind is gonna be blown when you learn the shortcut for finding a derivative. I know this isn't gonna help you but it'll let you check your derivatives.How is that supposed to help? He was asking for the definition of a derivative, not how to find the derivative of a power function. Also, it is more correct to say that the derivative of something is the rate of change, and that doesn't just apply for velocity. What is the derivative (rate of change) of distance? Velocity. What is the derivative of velocity? Acceleration. What is the derivative of the mass of water inside a tank? The flow into the tank minus the flow out of the tank.
Also if you're thinking in terms of physics, a derivative is the velocity.

Frets on Fire is a pretty fun GH clone for PC. I played the stuff out of it a couple of years ago.

That is way impressive considering he only used noise tones from a lego building game.I believe the sounds were pitch-shifted, so he had all notes at his disposal. And he managed to pick all the wrong ones...
I loved it. I smiled the whole time through, I felt very entertained.
