Status: So apparently, 0.007 times 100 equals 0.7000000000000001. Now I understand why the original code used BigDecimal for such small numbers.

Floating point. The numbers that just keep on giving.

Status: Weather forecast announced 25 mm (equivalent of 1 whole inch) of rain for tomorrow evening, after 3 (or already 4?) weeks of dry weather.
Can I believe them?
Rain last night: ca. 2 mm.
Just now a short rain went thrpugh - perhaps another 1 mm.
Announced for next night: another 2 mm.
Well, that's an incredible 20% fulfillment.

@Benjamin-Hall Saw a question earlier today about how to upgrade from a version of SQLite that was 10 years old to one that was only 9 years old. Steady on there, Centos administrator! You might reach the 2020s before 2030 arrives...

I just realized today that we’re linking with a 12 year old version of MKL. Will try to figure out tomorrow if there’s anything newer installed and if it’ll lead to better performance.

Fine, I'll fucking puzzle it out, but you're getting your PC back next week, asshole.
Fake status: Idiot failed to complete the initial setup in a timely manner. Most likely he just hooked it up to power and ethernet and assumed it would work (based on the half sentence he uttered) without actually completing the instructions in the box.

That button has been removed because Alphabet makes more money by forcing everyone to re-search for the site they were just on via the awesome bar.

I have no issues with my back button. And if that don't work...
I have a mostly-always-there back button I can also use.

But I don't want to set up all my Apps again.....

@Tsaukpaetra No such buttons on mine.
Edit: Also, you can tell this is a brand new phone, because I have only one tab open. Yet.
Edit 2: WTF? I was able to navigate by swiping from the edge of the screen, but that's suddenly stopped working.
Edit 3: It seems like it's just TDWTF that has this problem. I can go back on, say, Wikipedia just fine by swiping. Maybe it's getting confused by the slide-in menus; it does keep trying to slide them in partway. But it was working just fine earlier; slide from the edge to navigate, and slide from not-the-edge to pull in the menu.

Activation failed.
WTF??? I was logged into my AT&T account. I had to provide my full SSN not just once (for the purchase of the phone service), but twice (for the credit check). I had it auto-paid from the same bank account my AT&T internet service from. But you couldn't verify it was me placing the order? Oh, well. I guess I go find the nearest AT&T store after work tomorrow.

It will lead to an unknown amount of fresh security holes, several broken api calls, unintended behavior of some functions, and other cräpp.

Enjoy!I'm not one to be unneccesarily optimistic, but the APIs are decades old Fortran crap. And if matrix solving opens up fresh security holes,
Intel did it againI've got bigger problems.

Also, linker errors. What the fucking fuck does

Free lunch is never gluten free.
-
You see, it's "free" as in beer, not "free" as in gluten.
-
@Zerosquare Beer is definitely not gluten free. Barley is full of gluten, and wheat beer even more so. I have seen beer made from sorghum, which is gluten free, but it's still beer, so .
-

I do wonder if they make a nonalcoholic beer and family. But since that's kind of the point, would it be worth it?
-
@Tsaukpaetra Non-alcoholic beers do exist. Gluten-free beers exist. I'm not aware of any that are both non-alcoholic and gluten-free. Even if it does, so that technically I could drink it, it would presumably still smell and taste like beer (or horse piss), so still no.

Heineken make a surprisingly not too bad zero alcohol beer. It actually tastes like beer, if a little sweet. Still won't be suitable for @HardwareGeek though.

My mum will drink barley beer, since she's sensitive to wheat gluten only. I get your sentiment on taste though - I'm sensitive to bovine lactose, and I think bovine milk tastes horrible. Even the lactose-free variants.

Borderline. 120/x is considered "elevated"; 130 is stage 1 hypertension.

@Tsaukpaetra also posted that he was getting something like 4 hours of sleep a night on average.
If that number is accurate, he's either one of those rare people who genuinely need very little sleep, he's got a serious medical condition, or he's gonna end up with one if this goes on long enough.
If I were him, I'd see a doctor, but I'm probably not the first one to recommend this.

Not on any table I found.
Normal blood pressure at age 4: 100:70 Normal blood pressure at 10 – 14 years: 110 : 80 Blood pressure normal values in middle adulthood: 120 : 60-80 Normal blood pressure in old age: 140 : 80 – 85

Technically, they don't say "stop being fat". They say "eat less". (Can confirm)

@Zerosquare Hey, I'll be happy to tell you to eat better, lose weight, and exercise, for a lot less than $4k. (I'm not a doctor, but that's pretty clearly good advice for most people.)
More seriously, a routine doctor office visit is typically somewhere in the general neighborhood of $250 without insurance; with insurance (it depends on your specific insurance plan, of course) it's typically around $25 for your primary provider and $75 for a specialist (plus any lab work or other ancillary services). Of course, that's after your deductible, so you might have to pay quite a few of those out of your own pocket before your insurance starts paying anything.
