0.9 reoccurring is not equal to 0.98, or 0.999999999999998, or any other iteration thereof.
Is 1.000...0001 equal to one, cardinal?
It is.

That number is the difference between 0.999...999 and 0.999..998, which is not an "actual" difference.

I mean it is a "difference" but it's infinitely small.
Nope. 0.999... exists, and can be expressed like

This impossible 0.000...1 number that you just made up in your head does not. There is no difference, because it's impossible to make this imaginary 0.000...1. It's about as real a number as 0.000...

If I follow your logic (which I don't necessarily agree with), then I could just do 1-9*(1/9) and get 0.000...001

I can't tell if you're trolling or not :l

You're right, however scientifically speaking neither of those numbers exist.
.999... never reaches 1 so scientifically speaking it actually stops wherever the measurement you used isn't accurate enough for smaller incriments.
Also, .000...1 is going to be the same thing as zero scientifically, because there's no measurement that is ever going to detect it. .000...1 would then be 0.



None.

You're talking about significant figures. There aren't really significant figures in mathematics. >.>

Ultraviolet -- oh yeah probably. think I misinterpreted the original message. I thought he meant moving the flag revealed the base in the sense that it opened it up to being scouted, but what you're saying makes more sense

Sie_Sayoka -- dont those ladder maps have use map settings game type? i remember in a lot of them there was display text showing the maker and other credits at the beginning

fritfrat -- Good point.. maybe in Melee it sets off the hard-coded Capture the Flag logic when they pick up a p12 flag, revealing the SCV
[2025-5-14. : 4:34 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah, I forget how they do it, but they can preplace P12 units in melee / TvB maps. Maybe unit sprites

fritfrat -- Artosis and Tasteless were chatting on an ASL cast that 6 player maps will likely never happen for competitive SC, but Artosis mentioned how there was a concept of one where a worker had to pick up a flag to get out of their base, which resulted in their base being revealed. That's not possible with Melee / Top vs Bottom settings, is it? Thought I'd ask..

dumbducky -- I am so good at procrastinating
[2025-5-09. : 8:45 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Me too. The general concept is exciting and fun to play, or at least I enjoyed it in the previous Diplo Europe iteration.

Excalibur -- I have no idea if Clans will finish his map but I hope so.
