You’re being downvoted because you’re wrong.
My point was only that .9 repeating is still less than 1 in tangible measurement
If it’s less than 1, then it isn’t repeating indefinitely, which is what the ellipsis indicates.
That’s more convoluted than the 1/3, 2/3, 3/3 thing.
3/3 = 0.99999…
3/3 = 1
If somebody still wants to argue after that, don’t bother.
My favorite thing about this argument is that not only are you right, but you can prove it with math.
How did you know that he was doing it on purpose? Some people talk that way naturally.
It was 10 days, but, yeah, not a lot of time, especially for one guy. (That one guy was Brendan Eich, by the way.)
It isn’t just a copypasta. As KnowYourMeme points out, it comes from Richard Stallman. Wikipedia has a good article about it here.
The term GNU/Linux is promoted by the Free Software Foundation (FSF) and its founder Richard Stallman. Their reasoning is that the GNU project was the main contributor for not only many of the operating system components used in the subsequent development of modern “Linux” systems, but also the associated free software philosophy.
Certain people get angry if you do not refer to it as GNU/Linux.
I’ve never seen this happen. I’ve heard a lot of people complaining about these people, though.
It’s like veganism. I’ve never met a militant vegan, but I’ve heard tons of people complain about them.
I think it’s an effective strategy to avoid taking about real issues.
I admit I don’t know much about it, but I got the impression that it’s great when you need a very minimal Linux system, like for Docker containers.
It’s the same reason why people argue about how to pronounce GIF. People get used to doing things one way and they don’t want to change.
This is a joke. Most people are not remotely concerned about these things.
Read it again, slowly.
Why do you park in a driveway and drive in a parkway? What is the deal?
Oh, I used to do this all the time. You see a word in print, but you never hear anybody say it, so you wind up pronouncing it wrong.
I think the best was when I pronounced “misled” as my-seld because I thought it was the past tense of “misle”.
This reminds me of the time I had a co-worker tell me “That’s why they call it ‘work’. 'Cause you’re working!”
Is that Bad Horse’s arch-nemesis?
Not for me.
These people are called “sociopaths”. Most sociopaths aren’t killers, though. They will often go into a field where their lack of empathy is rewarded, such as business management.
It’s like claiming that you can identify homosexuality through facial recognition. There’s no such thing as a “trans face”. It’s just a silly idea.
They multiplied both sides by 10.
0.9999… times 10 is 9.9999…
X times 10 is 10x.
