I just learned that y=mx+b is not actually linear function.

Mind
Fucking
Blown.


Explain.


...And we will strike down upon those of Darkness, with great vengeance and Furious Anger, those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers.

Explain.


Definition of a linear transformation:
T(0) = 0
T(c1v1+...+cpvp) = c1T(v1)+...+cpT(vp)

When f(x) = mx + b, with b nonzero, f(0) = b which violates the first definition because every linear transformation maps the zero vector in its domain into the zero vector in the codomain.

Another argument, for instance, would be to calculate f(2x) = m(2x) + b and 2f(x) = 2mx + 2b. If b is nonzero, then f(2x) is not equal to 2f(x) and so f is not a linear transformation.

In calculus, f is called a "linear function" because the graph of f is a line.
If all the world's problems were solved today, what would you have left to do tomorrow?

Bill Gates did an AMA today, and ended it with this picture:



He also said that his portrayal in Pirates of Silicone Valley was pretty accurate. :D

Booted up X-COM, Terror from the Deep. Scared me good and hard again. Installing the new X-COM Enemy Unknown right now.



In other news, Extra Credits is doing a two-parter on what would be involved in having an organization like X-COM IRL.

J.J. Abrams: There's an idea we have for a game that we'd like to work with Valve on.

Gabe Newell: " We're going to find out if there's a way we can work with you on a Portal and Half-Life movie."

And they walk off!

Because troll.



You can watch the whole 20 minute keynote.  It's pretty cool.

Un-ruining the MMO



Embrace the sandbox. Embrace emergent gameplay. Allow the MMO genre to grow into its potential.
