sorry about this shameful and spammy repost of this rap that i've done. hope folk who didn't see it last time see it this time. if you're wondering why i'm reposting let me say that i've written daily for ten years and have recorded a grand total of 11 songs in that whole time, the lyrics for this one took 3 or 4 months and i'm going to wring every bit of ear use i can out of it. throw your hands in the air if you're just apathetic! :D x

This is a link post 10 + 10 X 0 = 10?
I am completely confused by this, I was taught Maths reads from left to right same as writing, the way I see it, you have 10 objects, you then add 10 objects, so you got 20, the multiplication tagged into the end makes no difference to anything because nothing is nothing so does nothing, you still have 20 objects*, it would only be 10 if it was done right to left (nothing times 10 equals nothing, plus 10) which almost everyone in the comments agrees is the correct way to do it.

WTF!?

Is this some major difference in math Merkin style or something, like the way they do dates, or is this some way of doing math where you perceive it as a formulae with entirely different rules rather than anything applicable to physical objects, read in the order written?

Discuss...

*edit* oopsie I forgot multiplication by zero is always zero regardless, confused by trying to think of it as physical objects, ignore that bit ;)

*edit edit* as my argument is invalid here's an appropriate picture:

This is a normal post it's to do with order of operations
BIDMAS (Brackets, indices, division, multiplication, addition, subtraction).

If you calculate it following that order you get 10.
10 x 0 = 0
0 + 10 = 10

This is a normal post I was taught at school
the BODMAS rule, which is the order in which you would do the maths. BODMAS is brackets, or division, multipication, addition and subtraction, so in this case it would be 10 x 0 = 0; 0 + 10 = 10. Its been a fair few years since I've done this so I'm probably wrong...

EDIT: Turns out I was right!

This is a normal post Priority of operatons
This isn't a left-right thing, it's priority of operations. Multiplies are higher priority so you do them first. This lets you write equations like a = 10b + 5c without tons of brackets (brackets say that a part of a formula has to be done first). With brackets the above is 10 + (10 * 0) = 10.

This is a normal post I have NEVER been taught this and I've programmed computers too, and it all worked fine and as expected,
as has it in the physical world, I understand that when brackets are used that means that that part of the equation must be done first, BUT I was never taught that when maths is written in a sentence like that that it is not to be read as a series of instructions, but as a 'math language' which has rules of order of execution regardless of lack of brackets.

I can't help but wonder tho, as I'm now seeing it with fresh eyes, if the order it's written in is not the order in which it should be performed, then why not write it in the order it will?

This is a normal post I think I was taught this at pretty much every level of my education..
So I've known this since the first time multiplication and division came up in first or second grade. And it was STILL mentioned when we took our first courses in programming, because things like this exist: www.cs.uwf.edu/~eelsheik/cop2253/resources/op_precedence.html

I remember being shown some ridiculous, long strings of +, -, = signs and bracets with two or three variables within, each appearing a few times; and then being assigned the task of puzzling out the end values of all those variables. Mostly it was to give us an example of how NOT to program and encourage us to strive towards producing readable code, of course. It certainly is possible to handle precedence correctly with just a generous use of brackets, even if you ignore all the other rules, and often that can be the easiest to read also.

Anyway, my mind is blown that not all people know about this.. Either teaching has gone up a long way in ~20 years, or I have just been lucky with my maths education :)

it's just a word that literally means black.

This is a normal post yeah, but it isn't really used here anymore
as it has slightly racist overtones. ("Hey, here comes that negro...") And although it means black in French, the rest of the words are in English, which is strange.

This is a normal post it's more of a spanish thing I think. Not English.
either way, nothing racist of course. I think Stevie Wonder has his own company El Toro Negro. Black Bull. So as far as racist overtones go I think Negro may be a safe bet in some places. Just saying like.

It seemed familiar. A good friend grew up in East Germany, her PE lessons included being taught how to throw grenades and she reckons she can still strip and reassemble a rifle should the need arise.

This is a link post Tempest 2000 for DOS!
Following yesterday's post about Jaggi T2k, and having dug out my Jaggi and T2K cart and played it lots, I remembered I use to have the DOS version on CD-ROM.

You'll need to sign up for the site, and grab a copy of DOSbox but it's totally worth it.

This is a normal post IT Engineer
he's a senior IT engineer. He forgot to switch to English.

"You may need to apply percussive maintenance or enact power cycling to rectify the technical aberration."

"What!?"

"Hit it or turn it off and on again until it works."

"Oh, right..."

Translation of the OP: You can play a version of the old Jaguar's Tempest 2000 game (Tempest updated in a Rave stylee) on your PC by going to the above linked site, but you gotta sign up first to get to the downloadable freebies.

K!? ;)
