How many knife fights have you been in?

How is a zig-zag numbering any less valid than any other method? Your mapping a two dimensional space with what is essentially a line. Sometimes it doesn't make sense for there to be discontinuities in the numbering, as one would have to do if the numbers always incremented in the same direction. Would you prefer that the numbers follow the path of a Hilbert Curve?
To answer your question though, surveyors have been using this method to number sections of land for much longer than you or I have been alive.
Knives suck as a defensive weapon though. I'd rather be robbed than be involved in a knife fight, even if I was the only one with a knife when that fight started. Carrying around a knife for defense if fucking crazy!
Yeah, I've also only ever heard that from racists and fools too.
Whenever I'm forced to use windows, show file extensions and show hidden files.
Your privilege is showing if you seriously have never confronted the racist undertones of the white colonial idea of darkness. Just for a start "The Heart of Darkness", the dark continent, the epithet "darky". There's so many more it's often practically it's got own college class devoted to the subject.
And it doesn't even have the decency to stay in the same place. According to this guy's estimate you'd have to move across the surface at about 9.5 miles or 15.3 kilometers per hour to stay in the Dark Side at the equator.
No, not against just him, against the entire party supporting him.
Because vector graphics take up much less space. That's the joke.
Now I'm going to put the joke out of it's misery.
Most of the illustrations, formula, tables etc. in a math book could be vector graphics, most of them were in 90% of the upper level math text books I've ever had, usually in only 2 colors. Many math formulas can be represented and formatted directly using only Tex or LaTex. Mostly physics and math involving more than two dimensions would have more raster images, even color. But it's not like the publishers are going to be handing out PDFs with original vector graphics embedded. That would make high quality knockoffs trivial.
Kink shaming is the real mental illness.
