why not just take it a step further and make true = “Yes” and false = “No”

this is p-adic gender erasure

why couldn’t you compute p/q < r/s by checking ps < rq? if you follow the convention that denominators have to be strictly positive then you don’t even have to take signs into account. and you can check equality in the same way. no float conversion necessary. you do still need to eat a big multiplication though, which kind of sucks. the point you bring up of needing to reduce fractions after adding or multiplying also a massive problem. maybe we could solve this by prohibiting the end user from adding or multiplying numbers

if cows could be on the C++ committee i would eat nothing but hamburgers

i’m a bit bothered by aoc’s response here. i’m okay with “whoa” or “woah”, but “whoah” just doesn’t sit well with me. the h needs to pick a side of the “oa”.

i hope that afterwards they petition to cancel oracles javascript

they should have just used rust smh

this does make sense. thank you for explaining it. i had always thought that retweet was the twitter word for reply (a reply that is also a tweet), but this makes way more sense.

as someone who has never used twitter, it always confuses me that twitter sometimes puts the reply before the message that’s being replied to. why do it this way?

always remember, <=> is the three-way comparison operator. it takes two arguments.

i would disagree that math problems only have one strategy for getting to the answer. there are many things, particularly in more abstract math, which can be understood in multiple different ways. the first example that comes to mind is the fundamental theorem of algebra. you can prove it using complex analysis, algebraic topology, or abstract algebra. all the proofs are quite different and rely on deep results from different fields of math.

i think the same thing holds in the less abstract areas of math, it’s just that people are often only taught one strategy for solving a problem and so they believe that’s all there is.

it would be a pretty funny post for the full 5 minutes it would last until it got stalin sorted out of lemmy.ml

what about haskell

no it does not. it’s basically just a poll to see what other countries think. at least, that’s my understanding based on what i’ve read.

this is also why the license plates in DC have the slogan “taxation without representation”

Treat OR NO Trick

what if all those people are dead too

what if spouse is also dead

it’s very telling that being pro palestine is immediately interpreted as being “anti israel”

no not like that
