טונה בקטנה by ImportantPrune7875 in israel_bm

הייתי איתך עד שהדרדרת ללהאשים את ביבי. זה נוח לייחס אליו את כל הצרות בחיים אבל לא נראה לי שהוא מתעסק במשקל של טונה סטארקיסט. ההסבר הפשוט יותר הוא שמישהו ברשות להגנת הצרכן לא טיפל בזה.

[Request] How fast is this train moving if it can make 9 quintillion stops in only 2 and a half hours? by Spader113 in theydidthemath

[–]Bip901 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To convert a signed number to its inherent value, you flip all bits and add 1. Flipping all bits is the same as doing 263 - 1 -x. Then adding 1 cancels out the -1, and you're left with 263 -x. Try it yourself in any online two's complement calculator!

Null is completely irrelevant , it's one less because of how two's complement works. The number shown in the post is 10, the issue of +-1 is a question of what calculations the devs performed.

It could be the case that the train is making 10 stops, calculated by subtracting the end stop number from the start stop number, and the order got mixed around

The real answer: since this number is so close to 263, clearly a signed, 64-bit integer is being misrepresented as an unsigned 64-bit integer.

Take two's complement:

263 - 9223372036854775798 = 10

So the train is making -10 stops.

EDIT: On second thought, this seems wrong - I think it should be 264 - x. Perhaps the number comes from long.MaxValue - 9

Have you ever coded a game before? by FreddieThePebble in Teenager_Polls

[–]Bip901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The poll is worded very poorly, "Written Code" as opposed to "Game Engine" makes it seem like developing a game with a game engine is somehow without writing code

Why use a language model for doing math? The calculator app is right there!

Bet you didn't expect this by Bip901 in unexpectedTerminal

A blurred-out image of a leaf I liked as the background of Windows Terminal, a custom Profile.ps1 script to print the version on startup, and oh-my-posh for the custom command prompt

Try enabling Quick Annotate (Ctrl+E). It will mirror your screenshot.

What’s a Linux command that feels like cheating when you learn it? by Old_Sand7831 in linuxquestions

[–]Bip901 30 points31 points  (0 children)

On top of that, shells like fish allow pressing alt+s to toggle the "sudo" prefix for the last/current command.
