Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Neither. What is shown above is not pants, it is a pant. To be plural multiple legs must joined to a single trunk.

Maybe the legs even run diagonally along the identity axis.

Yeah, looks like OP missed topology class: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pair_of_pants_(mathematics)

Yeah, I feel it should wear pants with three legs, not one.

Depends on the programming language.

Depends on the problem you're trying to solve, just keep it consistent and don't mix the two.

But wait... You can only multiply one kind with the other!

This is so stupid, I love it.

I did not think I could hate pants memes more, yet here we are.

Excellent.

Well they are same and switch between thoose styles when you take transpose

The belt and belt loops go all along the top row. If there's only one row, the matrix can only wear a short-shorts version. There's a crotch in each space between columns, and a leg on every column of length greater than 1.

Sparse matrices have their own special pants that are more efficient, of course.

Nice pants. Did you buy them in the Matrix?

How did he see me?

I bet there are shelfs full of mathematical textbooks about that question.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Depends on the day I'd say. Option 1 if they're feeling row major, option 2 for column major days

z scan it

Damn degenerates and their hip blue jeans.

number of legs == number of columns/fields

think it through
