“Look at this cool new tool we invented for understanding math, and grades are improved greatly :)”
“No fuck you that’s the wrong way to do numbers! Won’t anyone think of the times tables? :rage-cry:”
The IT industry is just the absolute worst for producing insufferable bazinga brains
r/programmingcirclejerk also dunks on Hacker News constantly, Hacker News is a treasure trove for bazinga takes
My favorite post, in reply to someone asking them to be less negative and chill.
“Sometimes you need “negativity” (though GP’s was very mild) to dissuade people from bad ideas that will have negative consequences later. Prioritizing emotional state now over consequences later has worse consequences than reasoned negativity.”
Without my armchair tut-tutting you would surely destroy yourselves 😏
“The most dangerous phrase in the English language is ‘We’ve always done it this way.’” - Grace Hopper, inventor of the first compiler, writer of COBOL, allegedly the person who coined the term “bug”.
Children should be taught to do arithmetic using bit manipilation tricks like a computer.
Timmy, you know you can’t eat your pudding until you do the xor trick on one more pair of 32-bit words followed by a one’s complement subtraction!
float Q_rsqrt( float number )
{
long i;
float x2, y;
const float threehalfs = 1.5F;
x2 = number * 0.5F;
y = number;
i = * ( long * ) &y; // evil floating point bit level hacking
i = 0x5f3759df - ( i >> 1 ); // what the fuck?
y = * ( float * ) &i;
y = y * ( threehalfs - ( x2 * y * y ) ); // 1st iteration
// y = y * ( threehalfs - ( x2 * y * y ) ); // 2nd iteration, this can be removed
return y;
}
you’ve already mastered long division I don’t see why you’re having so much trouble with this. if you did your homework every day you wouldn’t have to study so hard for the test!
