Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET When I first started using Linux, I was thrown to the wolves. I unwittingly installed Linux over Windows and, at the time, couldn't afford to purchase a new Windows license. Because of that, it was sink or swim. I decided to swim. Within a week or so, I felt comfortable with the OS, but I wanted more, so I spent the time learning the ins and outs of Linux, and look at me now.

Two hours into my gaming preview of Dying Light: The Beast, I was jogging through a beautiful woodland dotted with cabins and park benches -- a spot that would make for a lovely vacation, if not for the hordes of zombies wandering all over. Despite stealthily creeping around, I was spotted by a large group and frantically fended them off with a shovel, growing more desperate and overwhelmed -- until my rage meter maxed out and I became a beast.

A circle and a hyperbola living in one plot

news.ycombinator.com Tolam'S Blog 2026-01-18 16:51:39

We will see that the 3D plot of $x^2 + (y + zi)^2 = 1$, where $x$, $y$, $z$ are real and $i$ is the imaginary unit, contains both a circle and a hyperbola. This visualization sheds light on the complex eigenvalues of real matrices. Let’s start by expanding the equation $x^2+(y+zi)^2 = 1$ and separating it into real and imaginary parts. We get: \[\begin{align*} &\text{Real Part:} &x^2 + y^2 - z^2 &= 1, \\ &\text{Imaginary Part:} &yz &= 0. \end{align*}\] The condition $yz=0$ split

Though the students landed safely in nets, the experience was—by design—terrifying. Eagleton wanted to simulate the feeling of plummeting to one’s death.
