Yeah bignums don't really help with transcendental functions, whose reported values are almost always irrational.
We could detect cases like that, especially the .9999,,, ones, and round the displayed result, without losing precision internally. It's on my ever-growing list of things to convince Jens to do someday.
Why commas?
I might be able to. If I do, it'll be in my Snap! testing.
Because I'm old and can't always see the difference between commas and periouds, which whoever designed the typewriter keyboard layout foolishly placed next to each other.
Yeah.
At least I can see the difference on my keyboard.
You're not supposed to be looking at your keyboard as you type! :~)
I don't touch-type. But I can, sometimes type without looking at the keyboard.
Me too. I never officially learned touch-typing and I use all the wrong fingers (mostly just my index fingers!), but after many years of typing I've gotten to where I can do pretty well looking at the screen instead of at the keyboard.
I now use my index fingers mostly, though I sometimes use my middle fingers, (usually for the backspace and, it seems, O.) as well as my pinky fingers for Shift and Ctrl, and my thumbs for spaces. (Usually my right thumb.)
Yes, I do that too. Sometimes I use my ring fingers for aq1/'[-=.
I even use the bottom of my palm! (I'm a gamer. Well, sorta. I like to code more than game.)
Huh. What keys do you use that for, though?
Lets say I'm typing a key up high while gaming. Like p for instance. I can use the arrow keys with my palm. (I'm pretty boney)
I would use my index finger for the p and my pinky finger (maybe also my thumb) for the arrow key(s).
I'm just weird. Nevermind. Lets get back on topic.
I would just take my index finger off the left arrow for a bit.
