One is reminded of the #StargateSG1 episode #Tangent .

#Stargate #SG1 #X302

@pink_doublethink I liked Logseq but as a block-based outliner I wouldn’t consider it a replacement for Obsidian, and it’s in an odd place developmentally right now.

If Obsidian disappeared, I’d consider the following, which all use plaintext files in system folders:

- #Zettlr I’ve tried this and it’s quite good. Open source with a committed, responsive, personable dev. Definitely worth trying.

- #Tangent Notes

- VS Code/Codium with the Foam plugin

Hype for the Future 9B: Verfunctions in Trigonometry

The graph attached below showcases eight distinct and antiquated trigonometric functions regarding "versed" functions. Haversine in particular has historically been of importance in navigation, sailing, and perhaps even in communities such as fishing and whaling as well. From top to bottom, the functions listed in the legend correspond with the versine, vercosine, coversine, covercosine, haversine, havercosine, hacoversine, and hacovercosine, respectively.

#Mathematics: The #logistic function, the #error function, and the #hyperbolic #tangent function all bear resemblance to one another, based on their respective definitions, which are to be represented in the following graph:

And so, here are four functions to demonstrate it. The default resolution of the plotting routine is crude, leading to #Aliasing and so the mesh has to be refined somewhat.

Here are three #ConicSections and one #Trigonometric functions.

An #Ellipse
A #Parabola.
A #Hyperbola.
A rotating #Tangent function.

@geospacedman Ended up nearly in tears while driving last weekend. Played the soundtrack to the RSC Nicholas Nickleby production, and it so sharply and strongly reminded me of Mum that I nearly lost it. Don't think the family noticed, thank goodness. Really sorry I'll not get to see your talk, Barry. #tangent

In geometry, the tangent line to a plane curve at a given point is, intuitively, the straight line that "just touches" the curve at that point. Leibniz defined it as the line through a pair of infinitely close points on the curve. More precisely, a straight line is tangent to the curve y = f at a point x = c if the line passes through the point on the curve and has slope f', where f' is the derivative of f. Wikipedia

#Tangent is a great note-taking tool if you want to make "little but connected" notes. I'm trying to set up a personal knowledge base as enrolled in a new degree after more than a decade of working.
