If a line-following robot bumps into a 3 year old, it might knock them over. It's a different situation with high speed 2 ton death machines

Paru was at one point a rewrite of yay in Rust, and has since continued development as a pseudo parallel fork. It's good. Dunno if it's worth switching, you'd have to see if there's any specific features you might happen to want, but they're both fine

Yeah. Normal whoppers are crunchy. 1 in 4 whoppers is soggy and chewy and hard to eat

Whoppers are good but the risk of getting a bad one is not worth it. Ech

It depends on what you mean by well defined. At a fundamental level, we need to agree on basic definitions in order to communicate. Principia Mathematica aimed to set a formal logical foundation for all of mathematics, so it needed to be as rigid and unambiguous as possible. The proof that 1+1=2 is just slightly more verbose when using their language.

It's not a 360 page proof, it just appears that many pages into the book. That's the whole proof.

It can be, usually for college credit though

At the universities I went to, Calc 2 was integration, sequences and series, then Calc 3 was multivariable. They really pack all the harder parts into 2.

Well, it was a generalization after all. The point is that cheating is easy and indeed people do it. Not that nobody ever failed because they weren't given enough of a chance.

You might think most people who pass math classes learned what the class is about, but that's not correct. People pass by learning slightly less than the bare minimum and cheating.

We didn't. Students cheat on their homework and do poorly on tests and beg and whine for ways to make up the grade with other cheatable assignments.

I got that banana for my cat. I think the catnip wears off or something but he still likes to have it near him.
