How many of you use math stack exchange? Is it just me who thinks that the cunts on there are so uptight...

>unrelated green text

I used it from 2013 to 2015 and have about 500 questions and answers.
Then, basically, all the good questions and answers where done and it became a sea of duplicates. That is understandable and okay, but the real problem is that (while the user base is more experienced than on Veeky Forums), just like on Veeky Forums nobody will put any effort in harder question. I was against the reputation system and spend literally thousands of reputation points as the bounty - and the bounties never got my any extra good answer. The system doesn't work.

PS: Oh and the reputation system is broken too. Those 3k I gained from 2014 on, it's just gains from upvotes on questions I posted in the years before that time. You can literally read what's wrong with the system in the communist manifesto.

I also have a 46 upvotes question and some with 20++ that I took from a Veeky Forums thread

Emmabro, know anything about graph theory/symmetries?

Why would there be a bijection between the distance regular graphs on n nodes and the ways to equally divide the area of a circle into n parts using only chords?

>You can literally read what's wrong with the system in the communist manifesto.

Where did you get that form?
Also, what's a chord?
Can you count the cuts for n = 2, 3, 4?

I got it from my own research. I conject this nonfiction exists.

A chord is a straight line whenever with both endpoints lying on the circle. So imagine we are cutting a circular cake with a wire into equal sized pieces. The number of ways to do this (i.e. the size and position of the chords) appears to be equivalent to the number of distance regular graphs.

*I conject this bijection exists

Stupid autocorrect

Number of ways to split the cake into two pieces: 1 obviously, 1 chord down the middle.

3 pieces: 1 way using 2 chords

4 pieces: 1 way using 3 chords and one way using 2 chords down the middle which cross at a 90 degree angle

Etc.

>3 pieces: 1 way using 2 chords
What is a "way". With two cords, I see one cut where two endpoints touch and one in which they don't. What are your rules?

If you've asked a question within the last few years it's just a race for literal autists to find the closest duplicate and link you to it, even if it doesn't answer the question you asked.

Yes, good question. If you are just shifting the endpoints of the chord along the circle without changing its length or crossing it with another chord, then I don't count those separately. Obviously there would be infinite ways to split the cake into three pieces if I did count them all separately.

This is because this conjecture was born out of the question of whether you can divide a cake this way such that all the pieces are noncongruent with each other.

I don't understand what their motivation is

Another way of understanding this is that each piece is a node and pieces adjacent to each other are nodes connected by an edge. So you can create a unique graph representing each "way." Shifting the chord doesn't change the graph. Other things we know about these graphs are that they are bipartite (since ever chord or crossing of chords creates bipartite structures), outerplanar (having a price not touching the circle creates an predetermined system), and no node connects more than two blocks (the proof for this is that a piece which touches three or more parts of the circle must be larger than the smallest piece that results from this division, which can easily be proven via trig). However this does not completely describe the set.

(having a piece not touching the circle creates an overdetermined system)

definitely not money

The things you mentioned dob't yet speak of surface, right?
How will surface area be captured?
I don't yet understand your construction and fyi whenever someone only provides te necessary details to understand his question when you find out and have to ask, you lose motivation

last time i used code from stack overflow i lost 260GiB of data. luckily it was just intermediate step that was reproducible

>brainlet asks brainlet questions, gets downvoted
>cries about it on feer chun dat org

>autocorrect
fgt pls

>off topic or duplicate (even if it isn't)
While that is certainly an issue the site isn't a place to post useless shit. It's meant to be relevant, clean and very specialised. If you can figure something out by searching for it or learning the surface knowledge of topic then you shouldn't be posting.

If you ask serious question, describe your thoughts and attempts to the solution, give a sketch of a solution and ask what's wrong with it or how to proceed if you're stuck then you'll get the answer. But if you just post your calc homework, "guys do it for me, I don't even know what it means and don't even wanna understand it" then no wonder you won't get your answer.

I calculate interior angles between the radii that touch the endpoints of the chords. The interior angle x of a chord is determined by the fraction F of the circle's area it cuts off

x-sinx = 2piF

Then there is a much more complicated formula determining the interior angle for the intersection between two crossing chords. These are all you need to construct the cuts.

Unfortunately as you can see these angles cannot be solved analytically. But it is fairly easy to construct with estimations.

Maybe that's true if you're an engineer asking a math question. If you know some math and have a question beyond that, you often don't get much out of it.

>If you ask serious question, describe your thoughts and attempts to the solution, give a sketch of a solution and ask what's wrong with it or how to proceed if you're stuck then you'll get the answer.

This is how all my questions are posted, and none of them have positive rating. The claimed duplicates are almost never even vaguely related, and if they are, I'm at such a different level of understanding that I don't get it. And no one bothers to tell you why or how. It's cancer.

Do you know this guy by any chance?

math.SE is ruined, completely destroyed by giving trivial answers to trivial questions.

cs.SE is a decent alternative, if you're into discrete math and/or optimisation. I've seen a few interesting questions pop up from time to time.

It has many of the problems that the SE format has for actual intellectual discussion, but it is smaller and most trivial questions get either closed or only given a hint,suggestion in the comments.

If they weren't uptight, their website would degrade in quality. Their moderation system incentivizes high quality, on-topic discussion.

Would you prefer something more akin to the endless shitposting of Veeky Forums? Would you prefer endless threads of gorilla posting, /pol/ bait and petty one-upsmanship?

I don't know how you retards can get so butthurt about SE's curation system and continue to post here and defend the low moderation of this website. Maybe you just enjoy wallowing in garbage.

Stack Overflow and related sites are basically trying to write a textbook, not be a conversation forum. Which is annoying and tedious in that the better covered a topic is, the more of an expert you need to be to even ask a question. I like it for information, but I don't like trying to ask questions. The reality is that most of my questions are already answered but it takes awhile to even figure out the right question if I'm too much of a noob. And they are incentivized through their point system to be as tedious as possible in editing your shit and finding where it's already been asked before.

math.SE is super useful if you're doing math.

if math.SE and cs.SE are interchangeable to you and you're looking for "intellectual discussion" then you probably need to go to reddit or something instead

>they don't let me play-pretend and want to actually have serious questions that require you to have read the fucking book

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh

>cs
>not a branch of math

you're retarded. instantly confirmed that your education level in math and cs is lower than a highschooler. if not, prove me wrong and tell me something interesting. otherwise kill yourself brainlet

>"intellectual discussion"
Perhaps I phrased this incorrectly. I meant productive discussion about non-trivial problems, so not "freshman homework assignment #325563256".

>math.SE and cs.SE are interchangeable to you
No, I said cs.SE is superior. Math SE is useful for the knowledge already posted, but actively participating in the QA is very unrewarding.

>reddit
If I want to shitpost, I'd go to Veeky Forums .

A large part of theoretical cs is essentially math, but the common knowledge has diverged enough for the origin to become irrelevant.

my experience wildly differs from yours. I find a shitload of productive discussion about non-trivial problems that helps me in what I'm currently learning.

This is what I'm saying, retard. I'm not complaining about it. I'm just saying it's a different mentality than many are accustomed to. If you approach it like a forum, you won't be happy.

>You're a big baby asking to be cuddled
>"This is what I'm saying, retard"
really makes the neurons fire

math overflow and cs theory SE are good since the questions are at a much higher level than typical pajeet shitposting on math SE so mods don't enforce it as much, assuming you know what you're doing.

if you do any research in cs theory you'll end up using math overflow to find some specialist in analysis to provide insight into some corner case in your paper and you don't have 8 years of analysis background.

>really makes the neurons fire
You show little chance of that
