You're happy until 30 minutes later when the progress bar is still getting asymptotically closer to the end, and you come to suspect that the only thing that didn't crash was the progress bar.
- flyGuyOnTheSly 9y ago>when the progress bar is still getting asymptotically closer to the end That, my friend, is an impressive command of the English language. Thank you for teaching me the word asymptotically! [0] http://www.dictionary.com/browse/asymptotically http://www.dictionary.com/browse/asymptotically
- herbstein 9y agoI think most people that have done a CS degree would at least know the word. My cs101 class talked about asymptotic notation.
- sk5t 9y agoNot CS but any study of limits in math, perhaps with differential equations. And it’s a useful term generally, much more likely to come up in conversation than “subtrahend” or “mantissa” but not nearly as much as “tangent.”
- flyGuyOnTheSly 9y agoAnd that must be why I have yet to hear it, as I never took CS.
- tyingq 9y agoAt least it didn't say "orthagonal". Don't know why, but that word pops up here way too often.
