<&McMartin>
Technically breaks the Shellshock record but I do not count it.

<&Reiver>
the what
03:05
<&McMartin>
Shellshock: a vulnerability in bash, a program used worldwide and whose source code is published freely
03:05
<&McMartin>
And which lay there undetected by defenders and attackers alike for 25 years

"this vulnerability has no real-world implications". Glad they noted that.

<&McMartin>
Let's see here
23:04
<&McMartin>
6% of 50 = 6 * .01 * 50
23:04
<&McMartin>
50% of 6 = 50 * .01 * 6
23:04
<&McMartin>
... as long as multiplication is commutative I think you're good?
23:04
< abudhabi_>
It's not necessarily easier.
23:05
<&McMartin>
You pick the easier one when doing mnemonics
23:06
<&Reiver>
The statement is factually true. It is not always useful, but if you notice either number is "Oh hey, that one is an easy percentage to do", it can prove handy.
23:06
<&Reiver>
Still won't save you from 17% of 23 or anything, but it's the sort of thing where "Hey guys, some days you'll realise there's an easier way around and the wisdom costs you little" sooo
23:17 Kindamoody is now known as Kindamoody[zZz]
23:18
<&[R]>
Fair enough
23:19
<&[R]>
TIL, thanks!
23:20
<&McMartin>
Yeah, if your dubious was "I don't think this works in the general case" rather than "I don't think this makes it easier in the general case", a little pencilwork shows it to be true of the real numbers at least.
23:22
<&McMartin>
It will not work for arbitrary rings
23:30
<&[R]>
Yeah, I wasn't thinking on how to mathematically prove it
