    The prices at Tayyabs are really good. Despite being in London - not known for anything being cheap or even reasonably priced - those prices are less than what I'm paying in the north of England.

    In the lower section of the omio page with the train ticket is a FAQ section. The prices there much better: How much does a train journey from Duisburg to Xanten cost? The cheapest train tickets from Duisburg to Xanten start from just €1. On average, train tickets for this connection cost €1. The earlier you book, the cheaper your ticket will be.

    Speedrun to the Reichsmark, again?

    Can we also address the dimensionality of square feet vs square meters? My calculator says that condo is either ~28 m2 or ~4865 ft2 depending on which dimension you start with. Maybe one is measured on the XY plane and the other is on the XZ?

  • (nodebb) in reply to Argonel

    It looks like the actual area of that condo is around 3300 sq ft, so both of those numbers are wrong, not sure what happened there, maybe a database lookup gone wrong, or maybe a caching issue, hard to tell.

    I did check the condo fees BTW, they're $5500/month ROFL

    You need a new calculator, or I do. Mine says that 298 m² ==> 3207.6 ft² (bloody big). or 298 ft² ==> 27.69 m² (pretty damned small).

    Addendum 2025-07-18 08:24: Actually, I'm a mild idiot here. I should have done the m² to ft² based on 452 and not 298, although 298 m² is pretty damned close to the "about 3300 ft²" Mr. TA cited.

    I understand how you make NaN, but how do you make a Garlic NaN? Instead of 1/0 you do 1/-0?

  • no (unregistered) in reply to Remy Porter

    1/0 and 1/-0 are infinity and -infinity, respectively. one possible recipe for nan would be 0/0

    452.001 square meters are 4865.298 square ft.... Now check the digits after the dot... (452 square meters are 4865.288 square ft)

  • (nodebb) in reply to Remy Porter

    Here is my recipe for garlic NaN:

    #define DOUBLE_AS_UINT64(sign, exponent, mantissa) ((((sign) & 0x1ull) << 63) | (((exponent) & 0x7FFull) << 52ull) | ((mantissa) & 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFull))

uint64_t u = DOUBLE_AS_UINT64(0, 0x7FF /*nan*/, 0x4741524C4943 /*'GARLIC'*/);
double f;
memcpy(&f, &u, sizeof(f));

printf("%e %f %g\n", f, f, f);

    Output:

    nan nan nan
