Double-precision floating-point format is a computer number format that occupies 8 bytes (64 bits) in computer memory and represents a wide, dynamic range of values by using a floating point.
Double-precision floating-point format usually refers to binary64, as specified by the IEEE 754 standard, not to the 64-bit decimal format decimal64. In older computers, different floating-point formats of 8 bytes were used, e.g., GW-BASIC's double-precision data type was the 64-bit MBF floating-point format.

N-mal Time
Decimal time is a concept of having days, hours, minutes, and seconds relate to each other by powers of 10:
N-mal time, which I made up, is having days, hours, minutes, and seconds relate to each other by powers of N.
Given an input N where minumum(2^31-1, [languages upper limit on ...

Catchphrases and concepts that spread from person to person are known as memes, which, courtesy the Internet, can now explode across the Earth like a highly contagious virus (hence "going viral"). As with their real-life counterparts, some infectious diseases are global (pandemic), while others a...
An interesting number I failed to find - what's the longest code-golf accepted answer ever?
Probably someone with SE scripting skills can figure this out.
More accurate phrasing of my question - I'm looking for the longest answer that:

The Sierpinski triangle (also with the original orthography Sierpiński), also called the Sierpinski gasket or the Sierpinski Sieve, is a fractal and attractive fixed set with the overall shape of an equilateral triangle, subdivided recursively into smaller equilateral triangles. Originally constructed as a curve, this is one of the basic examples of self-similar sets, i.e., it is a mathematically generated pattern that can be reproducible at any magnification or reduction. It is named after the Polish mathematician Wacław Sierpiński but appeared as a decorative pattern many centuries prior to the...
Sierpiński curves are a recursively defined sequence of continuous closed plane fractal curves discovered by Wacław Sierpiński, which in the limit

completely fill the unit square: thus their limit curve, also called the Sierpiński curve, is an example of a space-filling curve.
Because the Sierpiński curve is space-filling, its Hausdorff dimension (in the limit

The Sierpinski carpet is a plane fractal first described by Wacław Sierpiński in 1916. The carpet is one generalization of the Cantor set to two dimensions; another is the Cantor dust.
The technique of subdividing a shape into smaller copies of itself, removing one or more copies, and continuing recursively can be extended to other shapes. For instance, subdividing an equilateral triangle into four equilateral triangles, removing the middle triangle, and recursing leads to the Sierpinski triangle. In three dimensions, a similar construction based on cubes produces the Sierpinski sponge and the...

There are so many different ways to express whether something is true or not! The goal of this challenge is to produce a standardized output of true or false for various truthy and falsy values.
For the purposes of this challenge, the following inputs are considered truthy:
