The emails seem to be real. If the people there are telling the truth, it’s your guess.

A <- ox

B <- house

C <- some kind of weapon we don’t even have a name anymore

D <- fish

And so on. This set has been running around for half of the world for thousands of years and yet nobody thinks it’s a problem.

Does it click?

Well, that’s how you do it!

And if two widgets need to create the same effect, you just copy the 5000 lines around. That’s why copy-and-paste was invented.

(It really shouldn’t be necessary… but in case somebody still needs it, here’s the \s)

Once people start to openly justify the bubble by the rationality of the greater fool theory, they tend to pop very quickly.

This time things are different in that there is an actual caste of people with infinite money that can only pop one bubble if they inflate another one (or if the government stops giving them money, but I wouldn’t bet on that). And there doesn’t seem to exist anything big enough to take all that money. So it’s hard to imagine the bubble popping mechanics working here.

I hereby propose we make a workforce to rename all the stuff named after Euler.

It’s just horrible. What’s the difference between Euler’s relation and Euler’s ratio? What about Euler’s rule and Euler’s method? Do all of those only name a single thing? Who knows? Why does Google just replace half of them by their preferred Euler named stuff? Who knows?

Ok… But what time is now?

Oh, that’s right, I was using gcc.

Dude, after forcing -std=c++20, the compiler still can’t find a reference for std::ostream::operator<<(float)…

Do I have to link with some non-standard library? There doesn’t seem to have any numbers.a included with gcc.

By virtue of being math, it has to be mechanism-pure.

That’s what math is all about.

Also, a neural network described mathematically is mechanism-pure.

Well, I can assure you that you have requirements.

You just don’t know what they are.

At least NaNs are different from each other and themselves.

SQL’s null would like a word here.

>> typeof(NaN)
<- "number"

It’s valid for C too, but it will be either a double or a float.

I dunno. I wouldn’t be surprised if somebody took the time to invent fuzzy measurement unities.

It’s a badly assembled fork of Debian that doesn’t have the same maintenance work and will both break sooner or later and have really large odds of not ever completely working.

Tried Suse and Red Hat before Fedora existed… Also a lot of stuff that isn’t on this graph, and made a system from scratch two times because of strict requirements.

No plans of moving from Debian. Why TF can one argue that those two are more productive? The only reason to use Fedora in particular is if you are stuck with it due to some hardware or contractual requirement.

for example, simply optimize it away

Yeah, that example makes it reasonable. But the optimizer can do ridiculous stuff when it proves the loop never terminates and also assume it terminates.

The most famous example of UB bullshit is when some compilers run code that is impossible to reach just because there’s an infinite loop on the file (not even in the same function).

Oh, JS’s this is fucked up to many levels above that theoretical issue the language also has.

And that line doesn’t help with the schizophrenia issue.

Yeah, I’ll have to disagree here.

Yes, the effects are bad to the point they are funny to watch now. But it doesn’t detract much from the movie.

Is further research needed?
