There are only 4.29 billion possible values of an int32, so even if you used 2 lines for each case, it’d still be under 10 billion lines of code
bool isOdd(int num) {
if (num == 1)
{ return true; }
if (num == 2)
{ return false; }
if (num == 3)
{ return true; }
…
}
How you express something absolutely does change the amount of information in the message. That’s the foundation of compression.
Bitmap image files tend to be larger than png files, even when they both represent the same image.
1.41421… can be thought of as an expanded form of sqrt(2). In this case, the expansion is to an infinite number of digits.
Im think it was designed with a clock in mind. That’s why it starts with north at the 12:00 position and goes clockwise. I learned it as ‘Never Eat Soggy Waffles’ but I’m sure there are a bunch of these.
Can confirm. I only had a bit of trouble with the last frame but was able to translate perfectly from context.
Theoretically the electorals could go blue without winning any districts. It would require a third party to win at least one district though.
Using two or more adjectives doesn’t imply conflation.
The sentence “You can have a regular apple or a big green apple” doesn’t imply that green apples are big, or that big apples are green. It also doesn’t imply that big green apples are irregular outside of this local phrasing context.
It just implies that the set of ‘regular apples’ being referenced does not include the instance of ‘a big green apple’
I can see where the confusion is coming from, this is tricky to explain clearly.
I uninstalled the YT app on my phone and use the desktop site exclusively now. Can’t stand watching without ad block and sponsor block.
Its pretty clear that Mark and Micheal Reeves don’t focus as much on design and iteration so much as the ideas behind their creations. The content formula for their videos is different from the other youtube creators you mentioned. If that style of video isn’t your cup of tea, thats ok.
As for the inventions themselves, I have to disagree. I think some of Mark’s creations are fairly well designed, such as the later versions of the glitter bombs.
I believe it. A friend of mine raised the price of his game from free to $2 with a big update, and still kept the download for the older version free. He got all sorts of backlash, even death threats. These people are children.
Because you could argue that the series converges to …999999 in some sense
You can also prove it a different way if you allow the use of the formula for finding the limit of the sum of a geometric series on a non-convergent series.
Sum(ar^n, n=0, inf) = a/(1-r)
So,
…999999
= 9 + 90 + 900 + 9000…
= 9x10^0 + 9x10^1 + 9x10^2 + 9x10^3…
= Sum(9x10^n, n=0, inf)
= 9/(1-10)
= -1
10 shannons, that is, 10 bits, each with 50% probability would be equivalent to the amount of information gained from observing an event with 1/1024 chance of occurring, not 1/10. Thats because this unit gets combined multiplicatively. The wikipedia article mentions that if there are 8 possible events with equal probability, the information content would be 3 shannons.
