Japanese prank shows do it better than ours used to[^]
SFW - probably. Not sure in Japan, there could be swearing. My Japanese is limited to "Hello, is Ruriko there?" and not understanding the response at all...

Wow. In that case I know just about as much Japanese as you do. Fascinating.
That video is hilarious though.
A related video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smhjcDvZFtw[^] is a prank where they make it look like someone in the airport is a wanted criminal. Too hilarious. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Funny!
Yeah I could see where there could be a lot of swearing in Japanese.
As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

Funny but no swearing, and looks staged. It's from some stupid TV show or other.
And if you're wondering what Japanese TV shows are like, this[^] is a perfect description.

I thought the first part of this[^] was a brilliant idea.

Query for all the naysayers ... which would you rather have fast floating point operations or 15 places of accurate precision? Most of my work four places is good enough and I wrote a hurricane damage simulator.

 Four is often overkill.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Why can't we have both? Not both in the same thing, but two different types, one for each.
But if I had to choose, give me the fast but counter-intuitive and weird thing. You can't emulate fast. You can emulate accuracy, if necessary.
|
|

|

We do have both, their are libraries that allow for infinite precision just peeps don't use them because they are slow. (Infinite subject to limits of hardware)
|
|
|
|
|
Right, so why ask us to choose?
|
|

I would like to have a bunch of smart developers, you know the ones able to write hurricane damage simulators using only four places of precision.
THESE PEOPLE REALLY BOTHER ME!! How can they know what you should do without knowing what you want done?!?!

I can to it with 8 bit integers!
It won't be a even slightly accurate simulation, of course, but...

You find yourself in a small Sailboat 10 miles East of Cuba.
There is a Class 5 Hurricane approaching from the South at 10 miles per hour.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

So, provided I can do 11 mph due north, I'm fine and dandy!
(I don't want to go to Cuba today - I don't smoke)

Instead of running before a speeding object, I'd recommend stepping aside.
Go West.

Depends how fast I can move, and the size and initial distance to the storm.
Going west means I need to move faster than running directly away.

Size!
..that's the thing I did not take into account. Ah, just a small bug

i have a couple of image processing fns which input and output BYTEs but need to convert the input to doubles for the internals because even floats run out of precision well within reasonable parameters.
i'd love to be able to not have to use 24 bytes per pixel, but...
