It should be easy, it's just analysis but with an added dimension, basically. How is it so hard? How is it that the more I'm "learning" for that damn math exam the less I know? Why do I need it in the first place? Why have exams at all? I know what I know, and it's not like I'm learning anything by preparing for them. I hate exams so much, it's so stressful.

I doubt you have the answers to that, even if you did, they wouldn't really help. So let's ask something useful, since you're offering.

What the hell is a total derivative, and why is it suddenly the same as a tangential plane?

Why is the gradient just a collection of the first partial derivatives? How's a tuple of them any useful? Apparently it's showing the direction of steepest ascend or something? I don't get it.

I'm not chilling. Second try on multivariate analysis in a week. I don't want to fail.

(Yes I'm procrastinating by writing this comment)

Fron what I gather, visual studio is a horrible monolith that also contains C/C++/C++++ build stuff.

Peak editing with vim/neovim

Are you talking licenses or certificates? Because if certificates are not automated that's not a problem with certificates but with administration.

I found open-ssl to be much harder to use. Do you just manually make new certificates with the CA in CLI?

You guys must have better hours than me.

Usually 09:00 to 17:30, 40 hour week. (30 minutes break). In addition, my commute is 1:30h one way.

At some point it's good to let things die

In that case, i recommend step-ca, which is a certificate authority server with acme support anyone can self host. The setup took a while but it's been running for months now without problems for me.

No proper CA should give out a certificate for an IP, that's a no go by the common rules.

The background is that certificate revocation is a broken system and having short lived certificates makes the problem go away. You don't need to worry about how to tell people that some certificate is bad if it's only valid for a few days.

Ideally, certificates would only be valid for a few days, it should be automated anyway. This has other downsides as I can imagine, like creation of more traffic. My self signed CA for my home LAN has 4 days as standard, and it works perfectly fine.
