  • I’d like to suggest looking further into one of my theories/something someone else mentioned in that thread, because I’ve found that the way it affects a lot of people isn’t super well reflected by the stuff you usually find when reading about it, but I don’t want to disrespect your wishes! If you’re interested, let me know

    I would like to know. I've experienced a similar thing.

  • Then just as suddenly as it starts, one day I’ll wake up and I just won’t feel nauseous, and it’s like I was never even sick!

    Because it goes away on its own I’ve never been able to get to the bottom of it. When it starts happening, I book in with a doctor, by the time I finally see the doctor, the “flare up” has passed and any tests the doctor runs when I’m not sick are always normal.

    Yeah, this part hits with me. Every single time I go to the doctor, the symptoms disappear, and I question whether I really need a doctor. Then they reappear again :-/

    It's like the sickness is avoiding being detected or sth.. Like honestly, it stops the exact day of the appointment. And it's worst on friday evening and saturday, where there's definitely no impulse doctor visit. I'm being played.

  • Okay then, that makes sense.

  • I agree. That stuff tends to be much more stable than the newy swipe-and-drag interfaces. These designs are basically unbreakable. I dig that so.

  • hmmmm

  • ok then. you do you

    i just wonder how you deal with the fact that people die every day, with no fault of yours.

    sometimes you just have to ignore things that you have no reasonable influence over.

  •  
        
    function is_equal (x, y) {
      if (x == y)
          print("x is equal to y")
          return true;
      return false;
    }
    
      
  • Yeah, that's correct. Still, brushes dry much faster than sponges. So the bacteria have less time to grow.

  • Yes, but also, mold does grow on the sponge.

  • hmmmm

  • I don't agree to it. I think that making no choice, is not a choice. Therefore you are not responsible for it.

  • Can it be stopped? Yes

    Should it be stopped? Yes

    Will it be stopped? No.

  • What do you do about a dataset which contains 11999 fine numbers, but one of them is NaN because George called in sick that week? Throw away the whole dataset because it doesn't fit the data type?

  • idk if you ever had to actually work with floats,

    but in statistics, you deal with NaNs all the time. Data is absent from the data set. If it would be an error every time, you wouldn't get anything done.

  • IMO, floats model real observations.

    And since there is no precision in nature, there shouldn't be precision in floats either.

    So their odd behavior is actually entirely justified. This is why I can accept them.

  • math are numbers and therefore non-physical, and therefore esoterical, so stop giving it credit.
