I know you were talking about floating point. That is why I said what I said using python code. It seems to be a concrete representation of IEEE-754 math. Also from my reading and …

I think any conversation that says there is halfway between inf and 0 is treating inf like it is a fixed point and therefore a number and not a concept This is why participating on…

From Python: >>> import numpy as np >>> 1 + np.Inf inf >>> (0 + np.Inf)/2 inf >>> Infinity is not a number it is a concept[1] My math teacher used to say think of infinity like a i…

I have a question If this was true: tan maps (0, π/2) onto (0, ∞), and tan(π/4) = 1 Wouldnt it imply that tan(π/8) would be halfway between 0 and 1 ie .5? By my calculations it is …

Wouldnt spending money on infrastructure create need for people to be in the same physical location to do at least the manual work part of building infrastructure? Recent maintenan…

>> Don’t ever respond to a solicitation or a proposal on the phone. The urgency is a disguise. > A disguise for what? I think: Something not quite right or something worse. It's ea…

Yep and the latest update seems to have fixed it. Sorry. didnt mean to cause extra work.

I looked at one of the URLs https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5088147346030592 . It says: ******NOTE: There is currently a bug affecting Mac OSX and iOS which causes SameSite=No…

I get an error about the browser not supporting cookies. In the browser console I get this: A cookie associated with a cross-site resource at http://64.225.122.27/ was set without …

I dont think you understand what it is like in some job markets. Once you are in an industry you might be able to sustain a career without certifications but how is someone suppose…

It doesnt work the same. On Ubuntu I have found that you have to log in first on the machine so that the vnc server starts before you can use a vnc client to connect. It kind of su…

Thats funny. The Age makes it seem like the jury is remanded. Remand is for the alleged offender[1] [1] http://www.corrections.vic.gov.au/home/prison/remand/

I wonder how much difference physical stress Vs mental stress it makes. Stress is stress. Anxiety (mental stress) causes physical symptoms. The will to continue in physical endeavo…

The first link to "Crick" seems to take me to a "Page not found" page(It links https://tailordev.fr/blog/2017/08/02/crick-goes-open-source/... probably instead of https://app.crick…

That is an interesting analogy. It reminds me of my experience visiting the Alamo in San Antonio. Once inside you cannot take photos. I cannot say for sure but I think there are ar…

You still are intelligent. You still can be liked by your teams. The way you feel is just clouding the way you see yourself right now. When you go for interviews people often dont …

Why do you think they are lying? Did the companies use not apply the grsecurity patches but claim they did? If they did apply the patches AND used the grsecurity trademark in their…

I want to add something. I am sure that it will get obliterated by other people. I am not with anyone that uses grsecurity. On the one hand I can imagine nothing more bitter than o…

You might have to give them contact details for bosses for each of the positions. At least that is what I had to do.

If you do perl stuff there is Asciio http://search.cpan.org/dist/App-Asciio/lib/App/Asciio.pm may help on Linux. But Monodraw looks nicer and more featureful and easier to install …

For me the ability to use packages made by other people is a draw card for a language. However, when I first went to the site, all I could think was "Whats a crate in relation to p…

For the most part the article was interesting. However one thing stood out to me: To the audience of the time, the paintings carried a clear message: Mastering finance was an achie…
