Do what thou wilt.

I'll abandon this account and create another. It's not hard to game the "community" here.

And especially since you don't allow deletion of accounts, it's actually a good thing to regularly get new. Thank you for reminding me.

What I would love is a USPS money solution. Extremely low fees, just works, hooked up with USPS. Fraud would be under bank AND mail fraud.

All these companies in this realm are vultures. They add nothing - they just take their cut to do something that should be easy.

The asymptote for NixOS approaches -infinity.

Once it actually is usable, sure, I'll take a look.

you can also do

min(a,b) + (max(a,b) - min(a,b))>>1

I've used

min(x, y)+( ((unsigned int)abs(x-y))>>1);

with no issue.

abs(x-y)is the distance between points x and y. We don't care about order here because of the absolute value. And by its nature, it will always be positive - hence unsigned.

We divide the distance between the points by 2. This always provides a solution that fits in the signed bounds of X and Y once you add to min(x,y).

And it costs an ABS, a subtract, a non-negative bitshift, and a min().

To make it more complete, a switch statement depending on type of input function would be needed to handle the various sizes of numbers. And then it'd be doing the same but for long int->unsigned long int etc.

Damn that's a user hostile site. Ublock origin blocking to the rescue.

You should have charge backed for defective/sabotaged goods.

I know you're being sardonic... but it will likely be another fluorine based chemistry that is hopefully more biocompatible (flush out of body easily), and not cause undue harm.

The perfluro- line of chemicals are quite amazing.. if it werent for them being completely obnoxious and stay in the body like lead.

Perhaps... But I would think that living with someone (even if not by choice for the first 18 years of your life) gives you a much deeper understanding than watching some celeb online and making snap judgements there.

And in my case, all my siblings have deemed that our mother is indeed a narcissist. We're all no-contact with her. We're not docs, so med diagnosis is off the table... But you can definitely be a narcissist without being diagnosed with NPD.
