Whenever I get discouraged and want to quit something, I remember the words of my then 3 year-old after she puked carrots all over the living room floor: "I'm gonna need more carrots."

@gro_tsen I feel like it’s significant that you ask about 2^n—rather than, say, n^2— since that’s the size of the power set, where diagonalization arguments lead to uncomfortable questions.

[Stan Switzer (lapsed nerd and/or satire) @sjswitzer]

@Adriksh Yes

@sandovin34721 @ChShersh … which is the best kind of invalid

@ChShersh @starlithdotdev And also if you’re ever going to get C++ modules to work you’re going to have to learn to love CMake.

[Stan Switzer (lapsed nerd and/or satire) @sjswitzer]

@ChShersh @starlithdotdev The thing is that CMake is horrible because it’s old and old CMake practices are really bad and in the real world you’re probably trying to reverse engineer an old CMake build. But modern CMake is pretty good (as long as you’re in the well-trod path).

@tsoding @nokutokamomiji_ There’s a hundred ways that std::unordered_map is bad. That was basically my point.

[Stan Switzer (lapsed nerd and/or satire) @sjswitzer]

@nokutokamomiji_ @tsoding But does std::unordered_map either?

@__phantomderp In your ideal world, would “-1” and “- 1” parse identically?

@C_S_Skeptic I’m not going to google this but I’m pretty sure he’s made this exact same confusion/accusation a year or so ago.

@math145dropout @Math_files In p-adic arithmetic, convergence is defined differently and this converges in that scheme. In this case p=2 and what you’re looking at is the 2’s complement arithmetic that computers use. Consider adding 1 to …1111: you get zero.

[Stan Switzer (lapsed nerd and/or satire) @sjswitzer]

There is nothing wrong here. It’s simply 2’s complement arithmetic. (Consider adding one to …1111).

But also it’s just p-adic arithmetic with p=2.

[Math Files @Math_files]

What is wrong here?
