Optimising the oil residue-creating part of my turbofuel factory. This isnt super advanced math but still.

    Why don’t you just use a solver instead of doing linear programming with pencil and paper?

        ChatGPT, Gemini and alike are good in this. And before/still also WolframAlpha. They even display and explain the steps to you. You should still check if the results make sense, but my experience so far is very positive.

          I think that suggestion about Matlab is silly, that’s so overkill.

          right? use calc-mode like a self-respecting unix geek.

      Same reason I still do mortar math on paper in games that actually have it matter. It’s more fun that way, and I can do it faster than going to a website and plugging it in.
