  • Floating point numbers and arithmetic is not inaccurate. They are actually very accurate but a lot of developers have inaccurate assumptions about them. They can't exactly represent base 10 decimals. That's the only inaccuracy. If you have two floating point numbers and you let's say add or multiply them the result is always the closest floating point representation of the real result.

    The list of misconceptions wouldn't reasonably fit in a comment, but if you are really interested and have a few minutes you could give that a read: https://zeta.one/floats-are-not-inaccurate/

  • Great summarized, especially the "close enough" part. If you think about it this situation never would've happened if we would have based the majority of the computer designs on ternary instead of binary. https://zeta.one/kilobyte-is-1000-bytes/

  • 1000 is technically correct. The best kind of correct 🙃 It's hard to explain in a short sentence because the situation is a bit of a mess. If you have a few minutes and want to go down the rabbit hole you could check out this: https://zeta.one/kilobyte-is-1000-bytes/

  • There are 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, those who don't, those who think it's a ternary joke and those who understand that it works with any base.

  • Because it's simpler to build siphons through large valleys instead of 100 meter high 10 kilometer long aqueducts.

  • Selling your data would be stupid, because they make money with the fact that they have data about you nobody else has. Selling it would completely break their business model.

  • I don't think that's how it works. If it exactly looks like something protected by laws like copyright or whatever your country uses, I highly doubt that any court would say that it's fine just because it was created by AI.

  • But it's also pretty expensive to test every stupid statement somebody said.

  • We don't even have gates. Most people just pay for their tickets. Sometimes there are ticket inspections - if you get caught you'll be fined. Way cheaper than enormous infrastructure for every entrance that just slows you down if you have an annual ticket for example. https://youtu.be/kq-X25pH1XQ

  • Also not paying for LibreOffice, Linux and Gimp.

  • Probably would have helped more to lower the bridge even more 🤣

  • Wow that flag is ugly. But now I'm wondering if it's possible to combine the flags in a way that looks nice.

  • But to be fair it's definitely not the lawyers fault.

  • I'm seemingly also close to the grave, because I have no idea if those words are actual products or just made up.

  • Yea because wheels suck on sand.

  • "none of my friends from high school have ever bothered to contact me".

    Best line 🤣 Maybe you should contact them.

  • Compared to many countries in Europe even US "left" is pretty right.

  • I guess that's true and I certainly don't have anything against the concept of a constitution, but as someone not living in the US I find it pretty strange that so many Americans treat the constitution like some holy religious text.

  • It's not like the constitution is some infallible magic text, it was also "invented" by some dudes.
