  • Integrals are an expression that basically has an opening symbol, and an operation that is written at the end of it that is used also as a closing symbol, looks kinda like:$ {some function of x} dx.

    The person basically said “the dx part can be written at the start also, and that would make my so mad :3”: $ dx {some function of x}.

    This gets their so mad because understandably this makes the notation non-standard and harder to read, also you’d have to use parentheses if the expression doesn’t just end at the function.

    Note: dollar used instead of integral symbol





  • I really don’t like this “no true scotsman” flavored meme, the profit incentive destroys valuable research by limiting resources to replications of past experiments (as soon as something is profitable, you must not disprove it for a fear of retaliation from companies promoting said something), this is systemic, not an individual level problem, get rid of “bad scientists” and more will be propped up.

    I do like the sentiment of the meme though, more more replication is needed.
