@dalias that is just deeply unserious

@dalias wtf

Not all heroes wear capes (they’d get caught in the wheel).

@thomasfuchs France is a heck of a lot more humid, too.

@rygorous we get a steady stream of requests that want clang fast-math to do precisely what /fp:fast does and I am so tired of having that conversation.

@dougall @rygorous they always have very strong opinions about “you must do this transform AND that transform, but never both of them in an expression” and … what?

@inthehands @griotspeak (I'm sort of joking, because actual safety risks are a bit more complex than just kinetic energy, but I'm also sort of not joking).

@inthehands @griotspeak I want kinetic energy limits. Is that too much to ask for?

@inthehands @griotspeak Your SUV is allowed to go 25mph in a residential neighborhood? Ok, an eight year-old on an e-bike can go 200 something miles an hour. Fair's fair.

@griotspeak wait until they find out about peak power of cars and motorcycles

@inthehands joke’s on you, someone’s gonna make millions plowing sauces

Heron!

@thomasfuchs (I mean in your hypothetical)

@thomasfuchs Do you still get political fundraising texts?

Me, skimming a cello part: “yeah, totally playable on bass clarinet, no big.”

Also me, later, when I get to this bit and finally notice that it’s in treble clef: “what the fuck??!”

@dalias probably not "decently efficient" in a way that's meaningfully better than soft float. You can conditionally do SW fixup to round to odd in 80bit then round-trip to memory to get the rounding, but it's pretty meh.

@dalias Do you have any control over the magnitude of A and B? Do you want round-to-nearest?

@whitequark @xgranade Nearly 250 years of successful parachute use, still no double-blinded study showing effectiveness.

@Migueldeicaza I can make it as far as “they don’t ____ because they don’t know the tune,” which is kind of delightful on its own 😂

@thomasfuchs I couldn’t even
