How else am I going to learn the finer points of the ISO standard on floating point data?

[-] EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 8 months ago

That's not really an obscure or weird thing to research...depending on what you do for a living.

I don't know enough about wiring circuits to understand if that qualifies as weird

And within 12 hours, have forgotten 90%

[-] EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 8 months ago

I would rememeber everything that I saw.

And if I don't I'm just going to be thinking about it all night anyway

[-] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

And talk about it enough to annoy people, then get upset about that.

Not really. I'd probably just play a videogame.

It seemed to me that only more neurodivergent types are the ones that would be inclined to start studying some random thing like this instead of going out to socialize.

[-] schmorpel@slrpnk.net 2 points 8 months ago

Oh so it's to avoid socializing? Makes sense, I've at some point happily learned Arabic, bandweaving, archaeology, electrotechnics, botany to name just a few ...

[-] EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 8 months ago

I don't know if they do it to avoid socializing. I think it's just a weird obsessive thing.
