Things don't scale linearly like that. Many things are proportional to either the surface (so x²) or volume (x³) or complex combinations of those.

Any backups of the repository itself (and not the GitHub rendering)?

We don't even have gates. Most people just pay for their tickets. Sometimes there are ticket inspections - if you get caught you'll be fined. Way cheaper than enormous infrastructure for every entrance that just slows you down if you have an annual ticket for example. https://youtu.be/kq-X25pH1XQ

That's exactly what I did and never looked back. Just installed code-server + a few vs code plugins. Automatically synced via some some scripts that push and pull+merge git commits, done. No need for one of those million note taking apps. I also installed polyglot notebooks for vs code to embed code into notes.

You can lose packets. Just cut the cable, but the other side will notice that the transmission is incomplete.

Thank you for taking the time to read it ❤️. I'm currently out of office I'll try to find and fix the typo you mentioned once I'm back, thanks for pointing it out.

You are right the manual isn't very clear here. My guess is that parentheses are also considered Type B functions. I actually chose those calculators because I have them here and can test things and because they split the implicit multiplication priority. Most other calculators just state "implicit multiplication" and that's it.

My guess is that the list of Type B functions is not complete but implicit multiplication with parentheses should be considered important enough for it to be documented.

Thank you so much for taking the time and reading the post. I just fixed the typos, many thanks for pointing them out.

There is nothing really to be embarrassed about and if you look at the comment sections of such viral math posts you can see that you are certainly not the only one. I think that mnemonics that use "MD" and "AS" without grouping like in "PE(MD)(AS)" are really to blame here.

An alternative would be to drop the inverse and only use say multiplication and addition as I suggested with "PEMA" but with "PEMDAS" one basically sets up students for the problem that they think that multiplication comes before division.

Same priority operations are solved from left to right. There is not a single credible calculator that would evaluate "6 / 2 * 3" to anything else but 9.

But I challenge you to show me a calculator that says otherwise. In the blog are about 2 or 3 dozend calculators referenced by name all of them say the same thing. Instead of a calculator you can also name a single expert in the field who would say that 6 / 2 * 3 is anything but 9.
