Is that a ReLife meme?!

The only field where it's actually justified: math. In math, every time has an exact definition behind it, and you have to use the exact term.

They're testing a function where it quickly skips to a point most people skip to effectively skipping sponsors. At least I got that experiment.

That's not really correct. While yes, ads don't pay great, this is generally the case, and maintaining servers with these amounts of data is really expensive. And with YouTube premium, actually, YouTubers get paid quite well. You can take a look at the LTT finances video. They make more money from premium than from YouTube ads, even though only a small fraction has it.

Judging by the name RungeKutta62, named after a class of numerical integration methods and thus two mathematicians, I'd say they're a nerd themselves.

I think you're right. I only remembered kaon oscillations, but not that they also break CP.

In German, we have "Wenn Fliegen hinter Fliegen fliegen, fliegen Fliegen Fliegen nach". Notice that all nouns are capitalized in German.

Also, desolate sounds a lot more negative than empty to me. Maybe something like "devoid of [...]" might convey more of a similar idea?

Small nitpick: Mandarin is the name of the spoken language. The written language you are talking about is called simplified Chinese, as opposed to traditional Chinese used in Taiwan (who also speak Mandarin).

I had to derive osmotic pressure for my statistical mechanics exam in my bachelor's. So in what sense don't we know?

In higher math, sum and product don't necessarily have anything to do with the sum and product we know, but are just operations with certain properties.

In this case, a product is just a collection of multiple types, e.g. a tuple. An example would be a pair of index (integer) and value (e.g. a string) when iterating over a list.

A sum on the other hand is more of an or. In many languages, this is called something like an enum. If for example, your program should support both integers and floating point numbers, you would need the sum type int | float.

Obviously, the apartment with the Confederate flag has a swastika inside.
