It's still pretty tame compared to some of the language names on Esolangs

It's also not the first italicized name

@emanresuA doesn't look italic on my browser

Hm, mathjax can be weird sometimes

noodle man

on my screen it's in a serif font, slightly larger than the surrounding text, and not in italics

emanresu A

Should look like this, mathjax might not be working for you

noodle man

idk mathjax usually works fine so maybe that or maybe its just a browser thing anyway it's not a big deal

Q: Given n variables and m+1 linear functions, maximize linear function 1 while other linear functions and all variables are non-negative. n,m<=20, all coefficients and constants in linear functions are integers in [-100,100]. Output may be "Infeasible" or "Unbounded", or if finite, treated correct if absolute/relative error in 1e-6.
I: Is it possible to hack by making a small accepted range s.t. error may make it disappear?

Bubbler

"hack" meaning as in codeforces?

Yup

Input format:
n m 1(1 if output x, 0 if not and only the max)
c1..cn (maximize c·x)
a11..a1n b1 (a1·x<=b1)
a21..a2n b2 (a2·x<=b2)
...
am1..amn bm (am·x<=bm)

I guess the solution is related to the solutions to linear systems of equations, but the size is small enough to compute everything in rationals I think?

with floats you're already screwed with 100a-99b>=1 & -100a+99b>=-1 or similar

@DLosc damn I tried that lang once and didn’t even realize the lang name is supposed to be italicized lol

Bubbler

unfortunately italic exclamation mark does not exist in unicode

@DLosc I saw u use thue recently so I tried it out, help me golf my first thue answer :p codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/272713/96039

@AidenChow It's probably because the non-italicized number was already taken ;)

@DLosc bruh that’s a rip, they really had to italicize the name cuz of a joke lang lmaoo

@Bubbler Made the 'Acc' part italicized with Unicode, and the '!!' part italicized with MathJax—because why use one method when you can use two?

@AidenChow I found a small golf, but overall your solution's very good! (And yeah, I don't know what's up with the required trailing newlines either.)
