A questão pedia para esboçar o gršfico de uma certa função. O sujeito faz o estudo dos sinais da primeira e segunda derivada, conclui corretamente aonde a função é crescente/decrescente e convexa/côncava. Acha todas as assíntotas e pontos de mšximos e mínimos, tudo certinho. Eu só esperando chegar no gršfico, ansioso para talvez dar a pontuação mšxima na questão. Mas a questão acaba aí. Quem disse que o aluno fez o gršfico?! 😬
Gente, por que é que alunos são assim?!!! rs

Colossal Statues of Ancient Pharoah Stand Again in Luxor After 30 Years of Work
The right side has an almost complete face, and even the serpent which crowned the nemes headdress over the forehead has survived the ages.

Where rust fails miserably for me it's in the lifetime syntax. The feature is pretty awesome, but the syntax is orrible:
- for some reason giving short names to variables is a bad idea, but somehow the standard around lifetime names is single letters, often just 'a
- it's extremely unclear to me which lifetime is the declaration and which one is the use of it. Example:
impl<'a> Foo for Bar<'a> {}
Which one is the declararion of the two?

We have learnt to look at the world through ratings, reviews, and whether a place is “Instagrammable.”
Nuance is pressed flat into a system of stars.
Even mountains and valleys are scored on Google Maps,
while countless unassuming places slip silently through the net.
I often wonder, ruefully, how much we are missing when only the ranked and the rated rise to the surface.
It begins to feel as though such systems are not merely cataloguing the world,

The thing that Renee Good now knows, that Tortuguita knows, that Heather Heyer knows, that I only know because I glimpsed for a second, is that when you die fighting oppression you live forever in that memory of resistance. When we carve their names into a monument, along with all the other names of the murdered and disappeared, that will stand, perhaps, across from the statue of Willem in the park where the Northwest Detention Center once stood, they will always be reminders of what it looks like to sacrifice everything in order to be on the right side of history.
The names of those who resist live as ghosts, summoned by name to haunt future oppressors, summoned by name to awaken our own conscience to the call. Martyrs, whispered like the White Rose or yelled as a threat like John Brown, cannot die so long as any of us with a bit of spine carries even an ounce of humanity.
It is possible to die knowing you did the right thing, and I have felt it. There is an acceptance that is impossible to imagine without being there, without feeling it for yourself. You have nothing to fear in resisting, even if it ends you. But you will never forget the shame of doing nothing if you fail to.
