@BillDubuque I don't think that it warrants flagging $-$ quite $-$ but I do agree that it's pretty impolite. Some of that may just be a side effect of Patrick's English, which is good but a little limited.
And I find it hilarious that someone with a history of offensive comments and suspensions for such wants people to flag a mildly offensive comment. lol!
Is there an formula stating the number of times you would have to halve a number to reduce it to some value less than or equal to $1$?
For example, for $6$ it takes three halvings: $6/2=3$, $\ 3/2=1.5$, $\ 1.5/2=0.75$.
Also, is there a representation using the floor function in conjunction?

Define wait time of signal A as number of gates, that any signal in circuit passes during A remains unchanged (i.e. A is in wire, not passing any gate).
It should be possible to define wait time: we organize LC from left to right, from inputs to output(s). Then it is possible to divide the LC to...
@MattN Whoever you think might help you more, just write down the name and pass it on to me. (of course, it's the new methodology since they don't help you voluntary)
I find it really sad what MSE has come to. There is now a "pack" mentality attacking new users for sins they don't even know about. I come here to try to teach math, not to watch users bully new users over issues that have absolutely nothing to do with mathematics.
@Gilles looks a bit borderline to me, honestly. I wouldn't vote to close it as off-topic but if you think it would get better answers on CS or maybe DSP then I'd say go ahead and migrate.
(but there are a few users here who are a bit touchy when it comes to such decisions, so maybe it would be best to wait a few hours)
@BillDubuque "Pack" mentality, in my opinion, is a natural consequence of the Darwinian evolution of any web site as creative and innovative as this one :D
One thing that completely puzzles me. Are some folks really so offended by imperative questions that they find it justifiable to post such rude unwelcoming comments to new users?
This is precisely the reason why I tried to propose some sort of standardization of these meta comments. Without such we can get random comments like this one whose author believes it polite but which may offend others. Only by having the community vote on such meta comments can we avoid these issues,
There are some replies that are used quite often. For example, the first reply to many questions is a demand for a minimal example. These replies should typically include a link with additional information. So I thought that it might be useful to collect some standard replies for quick copy&p...
@BillDubuque I guess it deppends on which parts you are visiting. The Calculus forums were good for a while. Few moderators, and mostly filled with fun questions.
I would not say mostly high-school, I would also include first two years at university. But I clearly see your point.
I always liked the wide diversity we have here and I know of no site having such a broad spectrum. There's something to learn for everyone. However, the tendency seems to be towards the more and more basic stuff.
@tb That's the natural evolution of a general level math site as it gets exposed more to the masses. At some point we may need to split into two sites, undergrad and above, vs. high-school and below, or somesuch
Actually yes, I wrote up a little summary of some of the stuff I've been interested in for a presentation to some physics students. I'll email it to you.
"Jonas had them green Bottom jeans, jeans functions with fourier, with the fourier The whole site was lookin’ at her She hit the flo’, she hit the flo’ Next thing you know Jonas got tao tao tao tao, tao tao tao tao"
Well suppose I have two cyclic groups of automorphisms. One we'll call $K=\{\sigma_{1},\sigma_{2},\sigma_{3},\sigma_{4}\}$ and the other let's call $H$. If the subgroups of $H$ are generated by $\{\sigma_{2}^{2},\sigma_{2}^{3},\sigma_{2}^{4},\sigma_{2}^{6}\}$, what happens when I form the quotient group $H/K$ ?
But my presence here really misrepresents my interests: yes, I like topology a lot, and yes, I love functional analysis, but I like to think of myself as a metric geometer, but maybe that's just an attitude that will wear off with time...
@DavidK I warned you and I feel ashamed to say: I have not the slightest clue.
@ymar I think that's up to you. By adding that tag you'd indicate that you'd prefer hints and indications, not full solutions, but people don't pay that much attention anyway, I believe.
I never heard the term "hypergeometric geometry". Differential geometry is the geometry of spaces determined by smooth functions on Euclidean space I'd say. Like spheres, tori, and so on.
if $f\in L^1$ and $g\in L^p$, young's inequality gives us that $\| f*g\|_p \le \|f\|_1 \|g\|_p$. in a proof folland makes the claim that $\|f*g\|_\infty\le \|f\|_p\|g\|_q$. i don't see why, can someone help me transcend my density?
