This happens all the time. I feel like a big reason people don't like meetings is that they tend to involve a lot of bikeshedding.

There's a size larger: the subcontrabass sax

Finger. Exercise.

Ah yes. Drinking beers is a great way to... hide alcoholism.

That concern is feigned, for PR.

Annihilation, if you can ignore the framing device.

This one annoyed the piss out of me. The protag is dumb as rocks

Chinese chess is round chess. Shogi is pointy chess. Chess is icon chess.

The non-pointy sides are also sloped. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shogi#/media/File%3AShogi_Koma_Ryoko.jpg

Square baduk

I'm in the process of doing so now

Computers are binary, yeah? So we have to represent fractional numbers with binary, too.

In decimal, numbers past the decimal point are 10^{-1, 10}-2, ... etc. In binary, they're 2^{-1, 2}-2, ....

2^{-1 is one half, so 0.1 in binary is 0.5 in decimal. 2}-2 is one quarter. 0.11 in binary is 0.75 in decimal. And of course you've got 0.01 = 0.25

The problem comes when representing decimal numbers that don't have neat binary representations. For instance, 0.1 in decimal is actually a repeating binary number: 0.0001100110011...

Fun fact: NaN is of type number

How so?

Well yes. But that's not why they're trying to impeach him.

You're adding a bunch of zeroes. Zero is the additive identity. It doesn't change the value.

Why not? How does that change the value?

Infinities do have different sizes, yes. But not on that scale. Both of these are countably infinite sets.

Think about this: there are infinitely many primes. Obviously, not every number is prime. But you can still map primes 1:1 with the natural numbers. They're both the same size of infinity.

That's not how infinity works

Doubt we'll have all this tech by 2050
