Linguists: Mathematical writing vs. Typical written language, what's the difference?

I remember reading somewhere that mathematical symbols make up an “incomplete” written language (or something like that). I commonly formulate problems, or complete sentences using only mathematical symbols. From a linguistic perspective, what separates mathematical symbols from “complete” writing systems?

Torrentgalaxy: Am I missing something?

I used to be a user of RARBG and in the wake of their absence, everyone seems to be suggesting Torrentgalaxy. Unfortunately, no matter how popular the torrent is, I haven’t been able to download a single file from there. I have tried downloading the torrent file and using the magnet link, both will add the torrent to my client...

If Lemmy and Mastodon continues to get popular, we will eventually get Instance wars.

If the descentralization of social networks continue, we will have to prepare for the eventual rise of the instances wars, where people will start to fight about which instance is better and which one is weird to be in and so on, but that’s for the future of us all.

Options for cloud hosted Lemmy server?

I feel like this is at least tangentially connected to self hosting, so I’m asking here. I’m interested in finding a cloud provider to host my own Lemmy server (similar to what Masto.host does with Mastodon). I’ve been looking around for all the different options available, and I haven’t found many. Communick.com and...

Any love for the N64?

I don’t see many posts here about the N64 and it doesn’t look like there is an N64 community on lemmy.world It’s the console I have the most nostalgia for and I have over 130 games in my collection. I’m currently playing a ROM hack called SM64: Beyond the Cursed Mirror. It has some pretty challenging platforming but it...

What are your favorite retro PC games?

For me, it was the game Rocket Jockey released by Sega Soft in '96. It was perfect. The game featured a surf rock soundtrack by Dick Dale. The entire premise of the game was to ride around on rockets and using long cables to yank your opponents off theirs. Referees were also fair play. I don’t think I’ve met anyone else who...

due to the curvature of the Earth a really long building can't have walls that are both parallel and level.

Aparently, I’ve conflated Level with Plumb, the walls cannot be parallel and plumb. Due to the curve, the center of gravity for the walls would require them to angle in slightly together or not be plumb.

YSK: Commas can be used in phone numbers to automatically input automated menu options

For instance, I’m on Jury Duty in the US this week. Kinda a freebie but I still have to call in and input my “ID” number, birthday, and zip code before entering phone tree options to hear my summons status. So I saved a contact in my phone for the jury hotline with the main number, my Id number, birthday, zip code, and...
