Alan Kay likes to fail at least 90÷ of the time (shows you aim high enough) and says the industry is too dumb to digest good ideas. I like to succeed at least 90÷ of the time so that the dumb industry keeps employing me. I'm afraid we have irreconcilable differences. (And, this is me reigning in A LOT right here. Don't get me started...)
- grzm 10y ago90÷ To be clear, you mean 90%, correct? If so, the ÷ symbol (which I just learned is called an obelus) is typically used for division—I've never seen it used to mean percent. Is this a locale difference? A keyboard issue? I've seen that Android users will sometimes mistype ℅ for % due to their proximity on a certain keyboard, for example.
