The thumb counts too so it should be 6

What is the problem?

Mine too! I looked through all of Unicode and they don’t have the awesome-looking L I know from college, only the “script” variant.

Oh, I was thinking of it as 𝑦 = 𝑒^𝑥 or 𝑥 = ln 𝑦, whose derivative in respect to 𝑦 is 𝑥 = 1/𝑦 (for 𝑦 > 0) or 𝑦 = 1/𝑥 (for 𝑥 > 0). Your interpretation is that the 𝑦-axis is non-existent or named differently, which is why I’d prefer the joke to say d/d𝑡 for less ambiguity, as @anothercatgirl suggested.

𝑒^𝑥 has been around since the 17^th century and it hasn’t changed since. Therefore, it’s a constant with respect to time and gets unceremoniously derived to 0.

The result is 𝑦 = ⅟ₓ, right?

Here, have this:
𝑒ˣ
ᵈ⁄d𝑥
ℒ

Even plain text textboxes can do fun stuff if there is good Unicode support

She is derivation, a transform of functions that describes rate of 𝑓(𝑥) changing as 𝑥 changes. (This can be represented visually as the slope of the graph 𝑦 = 𝑓 (𝑥).) He is the exponential function 𝑒^𝑥, which is the only* non-zero function whose derivative is itself - in other words, unaffected by derivation. The number 𝑒 is a constant (around 2.718) and the base of natural logarithms, hence the title.

* except its multiples such as −2 𝑒^𝑥, which are… just… uh… derivative works

Unfortunately for him, the 19^th century discoverer, Robert Dick, did not live to see the 2013 discovery of his namesake’s sexual dimorphism (presumably because no imprints of soft tissue had been found back then).

Yes, which is why air traffic bears (see top-level comment) struggle to find jobs at airports. They can’t learn the phonetic alphabet either, and spell the conventional way (every letter is R, too).

Bears are not great at identifying flying things. They know what a bee swarm is but can’t tell a 737 and A320 apart, they might as well be UFOs.

LL.M.?

Earth’s axis tilts at 23.5° and Pluto’s orbit at 17° so it does cross NM sometimes (southernmost point around 31°).

The gown is reasonably chaste so they’d be thirsting for science rather than the female body. And there’s plenty of science communicators who look sluttier yet smart in their presentation.

Depends on where and when it’s from, it’s rare where I live. Also, makes no difference in terms of alphabetical sorting.

Wow, that’s a very informative article! I only knew about Faux Cyrillic, Greek, Vietnamese etc., which are parts of the text transformation, but not about the technique as a whole. I guess I’ll edit the Faux Cyrillic and “faux German” (Metal umlaut) articles to help anyone search for info about a cursed string they saw in a niche setting deep in Windows.

See, I’ve been wanting to make a post about Windows 11 suddenly being like

and I needed the video to provide more context. I guess the Wikipedia article could be enough but it obviously doesn’t show screenshots.

Overall, localization on Windows has gotten worse, there are context blunders that wouldn’t have happened in XP days.

I think this is a higher percentage than Windows 11 if you include 16-bit ones from the 90s and early 2000s. (What was wrong with NTVDM64, anyway?)

By the way, there was a video by Enderman (or FlyTech, or similar) showing a Windows locale that looked ﻉกƚٱɼєℓץ ʟ𝔦к𝚎 Շዘﾉร, intended for English-speaking devs to test support for Unicode and unusually short/long strings in the UI. I haven’t been able to find it for years (the title, which was along the lines of “The Strangest Windows 8 Build” didn’t help). Has anyone seen it recently?
