This is pretty hilarious, Colin. If only DB usage were more fungible. You're kind of like a shark when you smell blood. Is it the security mindset?

- cperciva 18y agoYou're kind of like a shark when you smell blood. Is it the security mindset? Not really -- it's more a getting-irritated-when-people-do-thing-badly mindset. I can do better; therefore they should do better. :-) EDIT: On second thought, maybe there is an aspect of security mindset here. One of the assumptions I find to be very useful in dealing with security is the bad guys are at least as smart as I am. It's not very far from here to saying "the Amazonians working on SimpleDB should be at least as smart as me".
- DaniFong 18y agoAre you using Jon Borwein's experimental math packages for, say fractionalising the numbers or finding formulas, or some of your own routines you've rolled on your own?
- cperciva 18y agoThe rational reconstruction was just me throwing the values at Maple's convert/parfrac and looking at the convergents for sensible values. The rest was simply looking at the numbers and noticing (eventually) what 2 N^3, 20 N^2, and 80 N looked like.
