I think the object-oriented paradigm, is the most hated aspect: - "Object-Oriented design" ( class diagrams, use case diagrams, Abbott Textual Analysis... and all the bike bikeshedding fun of UML, Rational Unified process..) gener

that's interesting, so you use an iPad for your day to day programming? from my experience converting ppt/word to pdf is a common enough use case that I would've assumed the majority of non-tech people run into it. Latex is a

I don't understand why no one is blaming the education system? How is it possible that students that are being considered for "advanced placement" are not familiar with file formats? how horrible and backward your education s

how can you reconcile that with the fact that job-hopping in 2-5 years is proven to be a more effective way to raise your salary? Being seen as "local" may have its benefits but I doubt that being one is more beneficial.

I genuinely hate the software architect title. It's like when we were in school and the teacher told us to write an outline before writing. No problem ! the majority wrote the text first and then the outline. That's because people

would ios_base::sync_with_stdio(false); also help?

sorry I typoed I meant, countably infinite. by w I meant the ordinal.

> An infinite number of zeroes. . .and then a one. . .wait, you can't do that. why not? why can't an infinitely small number exist?

wouldn't 0.999.. be equal to 1 - 10^w since it's only a countably finite series of nines.

but the long division algorithm never terminates. why would it terminate at countable infinity?

>"but you're no longer talking the same language as the rest of the world" yes, in the standard real numbers 1 = 0.999.., but people have dealt with numbers like "pi" and "sqrt(2)" before the standard r

if we say that infinitesimals exist. that 1/3 != 0.33.. and 1 != 0.9999... and the probability of possible events is never 0. what are the properties that we would lose?

by tomtomtom1 6y ago
more like 1/3 != 0.3333 .... as in 1/3 does not have a decimal representation. you can only approximate it but never reach it.

by tomtomtom1 6y ago
why? 1/3 * 3 could still be equal to one. but 1/3 != 0.33333... that is, 1/3 is not representable in base 10. Which makes way more sense. I wonder if taking 0.9999.. != 1, that is 0.0000...1 exists would allow us to reslove,
