what do you want us to do with this then

what is a .vid file

you don't have to scroll all the way back up because the navigation bar follows you down. unless you are on netscape or something in which case it doesn't.

"nephroid" or "reniform". these are both very fun words to say. both of them mean "kidney-shaped" which i think is funny.

a (binary) float is basically a representation of a number a * (2^b) (where a and b are integers), and any fraction with a denominator that is a power of 2 has a terminating decimal representation.

(any rational number can be represented "perfectly" in decimal, possibly with an infinitely repeating sequence of digits, but i assume by "perfectly" amby means "terminating")

(also any decimal that ends with infinite nines is the same as the one obtained by replacing the nines with zeros and then incrementing the digit before the first 9. eg 0.9999... = 1.0. )

this seems like a floating point moment. probably, anything greater than that number you have found will actually be represented as 550, and that and anything smaller than it will be represented as some number slightly smaller than 550. if you wrote the numbers in binary, it'd be the difference between 1000100101.1111...110 and 1000100101.1111...111. i think.

i assume that's what's going on anyway. it might be something completely unrelated

troubling, perhaps ui/uxment should occur somewhat. i feel like the buttons might be the wrong way round but i am not sure

yeah, i feel like 6/2(1+2) is sort of like, intentionally ambiguous in a way? like, if you meant (6/2)*(1+2) then you'd write (6/2)(1+2) or 6/2 (1+2) or something, and if you meant 6/(2(1+2)) you'd write it 6/(2(1+2)) or 6 / 2(1+2) or

   6  
------
2(1+2)

etc. what i mean is that whichever of the two interpretations you intended, you would write it in a way that makes it obvious that that one is the one that you mean, but the form in the question has been written in a way that isn't obviously either one, which makes it seem somewhat artificial somehow, idk. wow that was a long sentence

extremely based

i do not want something client side (apioforum has 0 javascript whatsoever and i quite like this). i think the markdown library we're using has support for (serverside) latex which just needs to be enabled, but i will have to check.

"evaluate it from left to right" is a misconception, that's what I'm saying.

pemdas (or bidmas or whatever you want to call it) doesn't provide an answer here, that's a common misconception. the question as it is stated is ambiguous.

and in any case, if it was written using actual notation and not weird asciified notation, it'd be either

 6
--- (1 + 2)
 2 

or

  6
------
2(1+2)

and there wouldn't be any ambiguity. the ambiguity comes from squishing the equation onto one line.

(i think)

hmmmm apioforum latex support when

why would you do this

is that (6/2)(1+2) or 6/(2(1+2))

try it and see

are people using this

!!!!!!!

(i wonder if urls should automatically become links. you can put <> around them to make a link or use markdown []() or whatever it is syntax)

do you have a link to your interpreter?

to avoid having to scrape html which sounds unfun

a non-web client would be quite cool. some kind of api would be useful for that

for some value of "usable"

i am posting this from the netsurf browser. apioforum is surprisingly fairly usable in netsurf, despite not being tested on it before
