Wat

The user name "zitterbewegung" sounds like a German. They build sentences like that.

You have to think about a sentence like a stack and read it slowly and carefully and take note of the push and pop operations.

Germans are like RPN where everyone else is a regular calculator.

  • I'm afraid it's not just sentence structure that is the problem here:

    > one and 100th of the data was missing

    No idea what that means

    > an advertisement of a person’s or a group’s promotion

    What in god's name is an "advertisement of a group's promotion"?

    • I was illustrating to the concept if you have a database solution that loses data randomly it would be seen as a joke compared to a dual entry ledger seen here. It feels like they were promoting themselves instead of addressing a real problem since dual entry ledgers have been used before computers in finance.

      1/100th of a dollar is a cent - goes towards the "missing cents" glossed over by calling that "dancing cents" in the blog post.
