@Simd if they're all positive
you have to sort them by magnitude, not value, for it to be general

@RydwolfPrograms to be fair it is economics

yeah but they use all sorts of cryptic graphs and acronyms and stuff
@UnrelatedString It's a longtime tradition of mine to transform my score reports into funny things so I have some practice :p

Would it be too ballsy to submit, as sample writing for placement in CMU's advanced first-year writing course, my essay for applying to a different college ๐Ÿ’€
It's either that or the report I filed with my insurance company after an at-fault accident
Which might be even funnier
'cause my uchicago essay was kinda fire ngl

template<int X = 0> void* f(int);
void g() { (long)(void*(*)(int))f < 0; }
Is this expected to compile error?

@RydwolfPrograms Absolutely would be, just maybe change around a few of the names/similar

@l4m2 both g++ and clang seem to think < is the start of template argument
changing f to f<> works in both
using angle brackets without addressing parsing ambiguities is simply a bad design

@Simd Actually no I think my earlier comment is wrong. You have to sort them by magnitude, add only the first two, and then re-sort them. Otherwise you run the risk of the cumulative sum so far being an order of magnitude bigger than the next term and then you lose precision when adding

Attention all passengers: This is an express sequence to infinity. If your stop is not a power of two, please disembark now.
OK, how do we make a challenge based on this?

Looking forward to when they build the Northern number line

Isn't the complex numbers just an extra branch on the number line?
Dannyu NDos
Dannyu NDos
Complex numbers don't consist of branches. They consist a two-dimensional plane.

Infinite branches

the number line already has branches. the main one only stops at the integers. then you have the branch that stops at the rationals. then another branch branches off that which stops at the algebraic numbers. then there's a final branch that stops at the transcendentals.

Imagine needing to travel to PI but then the train stops at every little station and it takes forever

that's why the number line doesn't have tunnels, only Dedekind cuttings

@mousetail Easy: pull the emergency brake as the train traverses the switch point.

if a global disaster ever regresses civilization to the bronze age
for there to be a silver lining
someone needs to preserve a javascript specification and hand it down over the millennia as a prophecy of the end times
maybe one of the older specs so people don't get too spooked about some of the actual good features that make it kinda bearable these days :P
...now i'm just imagining a post-apocalyptic novel setting where all of the folk magic practices are just based on different programming languages
immortality rituals based on memory leaks
curse tablets that are just butchered java reflection stuff

If you think about it magic is just reflection

@Bubbler Do f<> also change meaning?
One use f<2> and one use f<0> and convert into type f<2>

@RydwolfPrograms yeah in a vacuum i'd think a uchicago essay would be ideal but this actually edges it out lmaoooo
...also reminds me i'm actually going to have to take unc's freshman writing course at some time in the next two years ;_;
i'm actually noticing that my meds help me do stuff i expect to find boring even if they don't help at all with my active avoidance around stuff i expect to enjoy, so maybe it won't be too bad
might bike to pick up a refill once i'm off the phone with social security :D

To y'all reviewing the First Answers queue: please at least leave at least a comment. Even if it's just the generic "welcome to the site, here's the tips page" comment (there's a userscript for that) it's better than nothing - we're trying to be welcoming here.
