My engineers spend so much of their time typing, I always hear them going on about typing and type systems and whatnot. I should send them on typing courses to speed them up to be 10x engineers. I am smart, identifying development bottlenecks like this, and this is why I get paid more than them.

just in case anyone is interested in how to do complex linear algebra, including complex tensor products, without using complex numbers - using real linear operators \(J\) with \(J\circ J=-I\) instead of complex scalars - here are some links.
The TLDR version on a poster:
http://mwaa.math.indianapolis.iu.edu/Slides/coffman.pdf
Using a basis, matrices, and summing over indices - sections 4&5 of this paper:
https://users.pfw.edu/CoffmanA/pdf/basis1.pdf
Without a basis (but still a lot of notation) - Chapter 5 starting on page 195, with tensor products starting with Example 5.74 on page 208:

Sometimes I don't know what irks me more, intellectual dishonesty or intellectual laziness.
I have a bad feeling about this.
The BOFH was not supposed to be aspirational. #NotASubToot #IdleThoughtLeadering
Might I humbly suggest fucking off into the sun with your bullshit? #NotASubtoot
Pet peeve: Someone asking a question on social media, and then criticizing the sincere answers.
Look, if you don’t want duplicate answers (because responders aren’t carefully reading the prior responses), don’t ask questions on social media. You’re gonna get those, people will enthuse before they research, that’s just how it works.
And if they’re answering in ways you didn’t want, because your question wasn’t detailed enough, that’s on you mate. Don’t be rude about it. 🤨
Posting a curmudgeonly complaint about Pi Day (re: MM-DD, \(\tau\), etc.) is in fact the most pious way to observe Pi Day. 🥧

PSA: Your misunderstanding, lack of understanding. willingness to not understand or stunning ignorance in the face of it being explained to you in writing is not a pass for your bad behavior.
If you don't like Animal Crossing that's okay, don't let anyone shame you for not liking what is honestly a very niche concept
But also don't shame people who DO like it because we've been waiting for AGES for this game
don't care so much about what ppl think of me (gave up on that one), but i'm afraid of being abused

Honestly really annoyed at how often I see spoilers for big movies posted online so soon after they first hit theaters
It's thoughtless, disrespectful, and privileged as fuck
tbh this content warning feature is pretty useful for ignoring stuff i don't care about. #notasubtoot
