With hexadecimal numbers, you not only can directly go 0xB00B1E50, but type stuff like 0xDE4DB3A7 (might be a good choice for a seed for a hashing algorithm).

2Γ—6 is more like 15 for very large values of 2. If things never changed, we wouldn't need calculus even.

They're putting anticheat in everything these days

They played stardew and rate limited it with all the calculations

I can't do my own calculations. I'm just abysmal at math. I look up other people's spreadsheets on crops and wines and whatnot and leave creating the spreadsheet to the professionals.

Did you try to divide by negative zero?

Equals: β€œis” / calculator-related symbol

This is why you never type in 80087355

[–] asif@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 months ago

Damn, never knew the calculator modmail was poppin' like that.

Is there an actual way to get this result? Asking for a friend.

(I usually have to get an RPN calculator anyway, or use the internet for not-by-hand calculations.)
