Talk:Significand

message: The article calls 1.2345 a "fractional coefficient".  But a (proper) fractional coefficient would be 0.12345.  I realize that normalized IEEE floats use coefficients in the range 1 ≤ c < 2, but not all floating-point systems do (many older ones have 1/2 ≤ c < 1), and it is confusing to call 1.2345 a "fraction".  We could either we replace or add the representation 
0.12345 × 10+3 to the list. Thoughts? --Macrakis 16:53, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Fractional coefficient

message: Since Gene requested, I did an updated literature search on the Compendex + INSPEC databases (which indexes most major computer-science and engineering journals, although it only searches title/abstract and not full text), and since 2000 there were 70 hits for "floating point AND mantissa" including three in 2005 (in IEEE Signal Proc. Lett., IEEE Trans. on Computers, and Computer Aided Design).  If you do the same search for "floating point AND significand", I get 15 hits since 2000.
If you search on Google scholar for articles since 2000, I get 585 hits for "mantissa floating point" and 119 hits for "significand floating point".
If you read above, you'll also see a number of other search results that I gave a while ago, which all show basically the same trend.
I don't understand why anyone thinks this is controversial — it seems obvious that "mantissa" is still commonly used in its floating-point meaning in professional computing contexts.  (If anything, the numbers suggest that "mantissa" remains more common than "significand" for describing the floating-point concept.)  Yes, some prominent entities deprecate it, and our article states this, but Wikipedia should be descriptive, not prescriptive.

Talk:John Porteous (soldier)

message: Hey, this is a great article - I'd never heard of this before (but then, no history buff me).  Can I suggest some enhancements?  I'd really like to know:
* why the mob was so keen on the smugglers?
* the article isn't crystal clear about the order of his death - it sounds like convicted, pardoned, lynched.  If that's the case, the article should probably say something like "Porteous was convicted on XXX and sentenced to death, but his conviction was quashed by a royal pardon on YYY.  Enraged by this, the mob took matters into its own hand, dragging Porteous from his cell, before ..."
* the names of the king (the pardoner) and the provost would also be good additions

message: The Carolina Chickadee (Peocile carolinesis)
The Carolina Chickadee is usually 4.25 inches from beak to tail with a black "crown" and throat, and a white face. They usually weigh only a couple of ounces.
The Carolina Chickadee and The Black Capped Chickadee are very similar. One of the main distinctions are there songs. The Black Capped Chickadee has a two note song, while the Carolina Chickadee has a four note song. Also its feathers on its folded wings show less edging than The Black Capped Chickadee.
Its main defense is camoflage.  Its black and white colors blend into its surroundings. The Carolina Chickadee has a diet of mostly insects, seeds, and fruit. They are also common "feeder" birds. The Carolina Chickadee is found mostly in the woodlands and are found throughout the southeastern United States.
The Carolina Chickadee lays 6 to 8 white eggs and is in incubation for 11 to 12 days. They then fledge for 13 to 17 days.

text: I searched the web for a few minutes and found that it gets complicated quickly. it seems that some models in some markets started getting Lithium Ion for the 2015 model year (ie, mid 2014 calendar year). But it depends on whether it is the 2WD or AWD model, the normal or plug-in model, normal Prius or Prius V, country and the temperature range of where it is sold (Lithium Ion seeming to be more sensitive to cold and/or heat). Far more complicated than I personally want to go chasing. Please feel free to research it and add to the article.  Stepho  talk  05:14, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

message: The section on this book includes the text ". . . in Germany . . . the public display of the book or its covers was prohibited, despite the fact that there were no swastikas on the cover of the first German edition"
However, the relevant law (see Strafgesetzbuch section 86a#Symbols affected) includes "the Sig rune as used by the SS", and this was indeed depicted on the cover (twice), so the text statement is both misleading and verging on synthesis. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 90.200.67.136 (talk) 09:59, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes. "Indexed" is not "banned", because it only restricts sale and display (to protect minors) rather than forbidding it. The problem with our current text is that it conflates two separate issues, the "indexing" because of the text's anticipated effect on minors, and an additional possible "display ban" because of the cover art's inclusion of the SS's Sig rune, banned under entirely different legislation. Obviously, non-German individuals involved in the events and discussions may not have had a full grasp of the German laws involved. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 90.195.172.49 (talk) 19:30, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

message: The previous version singled out one among many Sierra Club policies (restore Hetch Hetchy) and mentioned one of the reasons to oppose that policy (San Francisco need for drinking water).

message: The COVID-19 lockdown caused a compelled closure of society, confining many people to their houses with little to do. With this loss of interest came poor intellectual fitness results. Using this particular situation, a look at published in International Journal of Clinical and Health Psychology explores why an growth in sedentary behavior leads to poor feelings in adolescents.
Sedentary conduct is behavior that expends minimum electricity and takes place while sitting, laying, or reclining. Many children partake in plenty of sedentary behavior due to sitting in faculty, looking tv, playing video games, or utilising their cellular phones. Sedentary conduct has been linked with many bad physical health outcomes, including diabetes and cardiovascular ailment. Destmart (talk) 00:16, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Race (human categorization)/Archive 5

message: P0M: Slrubenstein, the earlier form of the first sentence spoke of race as a principle of taxonomy. I've been going over the long paragraph that you wrote above, and I don't find any big problems with it I guess. I say "guess" because I wonder whether there is some problem lurking in whatever it is that makes you accept the idea that race is a principle. I have suggested as many definitions of "principle" as I could find in my dictionary, but nobody has ever claimed any one of them in regard to the aforesaid formulation. Please just give me a definition.
: By "principle" I mean "assumption" and "standard."  I personally do not think it is good one.  But it seems to me that all talk of "race" is through a politicized or political discourse; there is no denying that (in my opinion, socially constructed) assumptions about or standards for racial categories have affected a good deal of people, and thus is as "real" as other social constructions, from nuclear bombs to specific beliefs about God/gods.  Just as people can debate over whether it is right to make let alone use nucelar bombs, or can debate the consequences of belief in God, people debate over race.  I personally believe race is a bad standard/assumption (or principle) but my argument is not that it is not a principle, but rather that it is a bad one. By the way, we need to archive much of this talk.  I've been accused on archiving poorly in the past -- can you make an executive decision and do some archiving? Slrubenstein
::P0M: What do you mean "standard"? "Standard" as in "He gave the standard Anarchist response when asked to salute the flag," or as in "A bar of metal in Paris, France is the original standard for the meter," or what? I'm not trying to be difficult, just to pin things down -- because in the past many of my attempts here to get a clear run at the idea of "race" have snarled on this point.

message: An unregistered editor has begun an edit war to insist that the description of this university's honors program include the phrase "a community of scholars for justice."  The information is sourced to the honors program's own website but it strikes me as much more about advertising and promotion than about meaningful substance that is helpful for readers (without any examples and discussion, I don't even know what it's supposed to mean; it sounds a bit pretentious for a group of undergraduate students).
