It is. And yet, it just harvests upvotes. I don’t get it.

Oh god, I totally forgot about that one. I loved it. The content still seems to be great, too. Nice.

I’m not growing up, I’m just burning out… and I step in line to walk amongst the dead.

Meh, use latex and git. Then you won’t have those stupid file names.

Tags on the other hand are the gift that keeps on giving.

git tag -a v0.999c -m "really the final draft this time, for sure"

I really don’t get why the time machine would have to do any calculations at all. The time machine is in this reference frame. You seem to assume that by going back through time you’d be teleporting through time, which leaves the open question of where you’d appear. However, I’d much rather assume that you’d actually be “going” through time. You wouldn’t cease to exist until you reappeared somewhere. Instead you’d be in the machine for some time until you’d get out of the machine again. That’d mean neither you nor the machine ever leave the reference frame.

Since I stay on earth now when I’m moving forward in time why wouldn’t I stay on earth when I move backward through time?
