I hope "semi-infinite" sees wider adoption in our lexicon.
- toomuchtodo 9y agoI’m partial to “infinite enough”.
- vidanay 9y agoI've always gone with "for really small values of infinite"
- logfromblammo 9y agoMe too. It marks someone as a person I can immediately feel superior to, without knowing anything else about them. I will continue to use "nigh-inexhaustible", and bandy it about with sesqui-infinite glee, from the tall saddle of my high horse.
- nontechdude1 9y agoim not trying to be anything. its a cnbc headline, not some kid writing a term paper. if you know the subject it should be a mediocre joke. why are you calling people elitist for math jokes on a programming forum??
- eindiran 9y agoI think GP's point is that there is no such thing as "semi-infinite" and thus they can feel superior to them for not understanding how infinite infinity is.
