This is something my wife just had to learn to accept. I’ll find something cool and realize I don’t want to go through life not understanding this topic. Most recently: floating point emulation.
Floating point is dope
I’m particularly interested in how emulators deal with the mismatch between the FPU of the target hardware versus the host.
It’s a fascinating and frustrating topic when you’re trying to emulate floating point in a specific way using hardware that doesn’t exactly do what you need. But almost. For example, maybe your host rounds differently or uses different status flags so the challenge is to find as many cases as possible where you can still exploit your host FPU without generating incorrect results.
What did you just have to accept about your wife?
She needs alone, stimulation-free time for one. It might look like nothing, but that time is like sleep to her, and without it she’s not functional.
no idea what this is but i am now furiously looking floating point up.
When I first tried swimming, it took me quite a while to get to the floating point.
When you lie on your back on water you go from floating point to floating plane
Gotta have those pontoons
Binary rational number
Whereas I find the phrase alone so complicated that I can’t even bring myself to find out how even more complicated the concept is.
when anxiety and depression keep you busy
Or just plain autism
I have autism? That’s crazy, let me learn way too much about it, and recite the information to random unsuspecting people
I’m imagining you hiding behind bushes ready to ambush people with an info dump
Sounds like a fun weekend!
It was
I consider myself pretty neurotypical, but my family also calls the thing I do “dad talks” which basically means “whoops we asked dad something that should take 3 seconds to answer like but it looks like we stumbled into a 35 minute explanation of roman aqueducts for some reason” so maybe I am just a bad at judging myself.
Maybe all your dads are autistic, or maybe even all Dad’s. Maybe we are all autistic. Who knows, I’m just having fun lol

It makes me so mad that I’m like this. I used to be ao sociable and I’d be able to pace myself. Do a little obsessing, go out and tell people. No info dumps, just including interesting stuff a little bit into each conversation. It’s not my autism failing me, it’s society that’s creating this loneliness that lets my desire for new information run rampant.
Adhd be like: “woops there goes 12hours of my life”
Sounds completely reasonable
Yeah I’m also atypical.
