But could the CAD use more than 4 control points to approximate the circle better?

This list seems to be missing something since afaik, IEEE floating point also specifies round-to-even (bankers' rounding) for round to nearest ties. Unless 'FE_DEC_TONEAREST' is that, the documentation does not say. https:&#

What do you mean by hypothetical solution that does not exist? This is actually specified. IEEE does specify multiple rounding modes. Does it make more sense to use an existing spec, or roll your own numeric library with rounding modes?

Would IEEE decimal128 be sufficient (instead of arbitrary precision)? "Formally introduced in IEEE 754-2008, it is intended for applications where it is necessary to emulate decimal rounding exactly, such as financial and tax computati

> It might be nice if a type itself could indicate whether it's hashable and, if so, what it's hash function is. Then, if you create a hash table with that key type, it automatically uses the hash function defined by that type.

Genuine question: How do type system that are so abstract and complex to become turing complete help? I definitely find it extremely helpful to be able to write containers of any type (like std::vector<T>), that saves a ton of code du

No, I don't think that's a better choice at all, making two characters look the same is the worse choice, having to design something to avoid situations of two identically looking characters being together sounds much clunkier, th

What's wrong with this? Isn't it great that miniaturization can achieve this? It's the screen size that dictates the amount of room. I also prefer a larger desktop PC case to have spare room to make it easier to work in it.

0 and O look almost exactly the same in the font, is the distinction of these not important on flight screens?

Nice! I think the "floating point common names" page could be extended though, namely because it doesn't mention the bit amounts, but only decimal meanings like "s23e8". I think it would be more helpful to say that

The clockwork actually is the best kind of computer they had in the 1600s (in a clock it's dividing time units, they had mechanical calculators, and see also the antikyra mechanism), so that's a similar comparison If in the future

It's pretty crazy to think about this: if a generation would be 25 years on average, only 5 million individuals lived during those 100k years. But today, 100k years in the future sounds like a 100x longer time than what would already b

I hope this won't result in some kind of battle ending up in no or worse nvidia drivers for linux, without them my favorite OS would suddenly be less useful due to less games and AI.

Oh good, the way it was compared with C++ std::string::find made it seem like a direct cross language std lib comparison. Also initially I misread the unit (MB vs GB) and thought python was 10x faster than C++ instead of 100x slower :)
