Earlier this year I gave this talk which is about how programmers can get the most of the Fediverse, particularly for dotnet/MAUI developers - some of the killer features which are available and how to use them. The focus of the examples are with dotnet/MAUI, but these things would undoubtedly also be available for other languages/ecosystems, I was just using dotnet/MAUI to illustrate the underlying functionality available to us here. This recording would be good for anyone who isn't familiar with these features (maybe anyone you want to convince to come here, or just if you feel you don't know everything that is available).
The first part of the recording is a different talk about MAUI, and the first link below will be where my talk starts, and then some more links for other key points, if you just want to see the parts you don't already know about.
Following these recording links will be links to resources that I talked about...
30:06 start/MAUI Lemmy community
48:01 Mastodon Federated timeline
1:00:20 follow Twitter accounts from Mastodon
1:01:51 how to use Lemmy from Mastodon
1:07:25 Mastodon's killer feature for dev's - github bots
1:10:47 Guide to Mastodon for .NET and MAUI people
1:13:15 Pixelfed, UI comparison
1:15:41 Maho Pacheco's repo (federate static website, etc.)

Nope. You gave me something to solve, as I already said. If I have x²-x and want to solve it, I use x(x-1) to find the roots - that isn't simplifying, that's solving.
that’s not a result, that’s it’s shitty AI response. I am talking about the actual search results.
Yep, it's an actual search result. Look underneath the AI part.
I'd use it to solve it, as per my previous comment on the difference between solving and simplifying.
So you're just ignoring Maths textbooks? Got it.
BTW in case you didn't know about this infamous Google result...
“simplify” literally means to make the equation easier to understand
Nope. It means to present it in the simplest way possible. e.g. 5/10=1/2.
You are arguing that “expand and simplify” is the exact same thing as “simplify”
No I'm not. I'm saying "expand and simplify" is a thing in all high school Maths textbooks, "factor and simplify" isn't a thing in any of them.
"Sometimes factoring is prudent" - if you're trying to solve an equation, yes, but solving and simplifying aren't the same thing. If I arrive at an answer of 5/10 then I have solved but not simplified. Sometimes it's not even possible to simplify, because the answer is already in the simplest form possible, such as an answer of 1/2. I teach students when to recognise when something can be simplified and when it can't. Your original contention was that the Term was already simplified, and it wasn't.
"And thanks for the downvotes." - I downvote anything that is incorrect, just like a student would lose marks for same.
Man you’re dense
Says person citing Google results instead of Maths textbooks! 😂
Are you a high school math teacher by chance?
Yep.
Because you’re using a rigid definition of simplify that I don’t necessarily agree with.
You don't agree with Maths textbooks? 😂
"And told you to simplify, what would you do?" - I would ask you what on Earth it's supposed to say, given it's formatted all weird! 😂
My point (made poorly) was there is “expand and simplify” and also “factor and simplify”. Two different things.
And my point is there's no such thing as "factor and simplify", since they are opposite operations to each other.
My stipulation was that the x-x term didn’t exist, such that the equation would be fully simplified
And it STILL wouldn't be simplified.
“factor and simplify”
Factorising is the opposite process to expanding, so no, there's no such thing as "factor and simplify".
I would argue the result of that would be less simplified than the factored version. Eye of the beholder type thing.
It's a definition of Maths thing. Simplified answers don't have brackets in them.
