[02:20:20] I've just been investigating Z21923 and am now confident that the float64 converters to code are not dealing with the special case of subnormal numbers. When the exponent is -1023 (just this specific value), the mantissa should not get the 1+ in line 47 of Z20875. Similar omission in the JS converter. [02:21:46] @vrandecic this is probably for you. (re @u99of9: I've just been investigating Z21923 and am now confident that the float64 converters to code are not dealing with the special ca...) [02:30:19] Then in Z20885 it looks like like 83 should not subtract the 0.5 for the specific case of the exp being -1023 (or actually -1022 at that stage, since it is decremented in the following line) (re @u99of9: I've just been investigating Z21923 and am now confident that the float64 converters to code are not dealing with the special ca...) [10:20:49] As usual, I won’t be able to attend at this time on a Monday, but I think Z23716 is an interesting and useful pattern for addressing “union types”. Z23694 is an earlier prototype. It might be interesting to put the two together in an “emulate Wikidata statement” function. Or you could explore a code implementation. You might also look at Z23660; I’m not sure whether i [10:20:50] [10:20:50] t’s a good idea or not. (re @Sannita: Hi all! Our next Volunteers' Corner will be held on Monday, April 7, at 17:30 UTC. [10:20:51] If you have questions or ideas to discuss, o...) [12:51:24] I predict they will take on something simpler than last time! I also send apologies - now that daylight savings has switched it will be 3:30am in Sydney. (re @Al: As usual, I won’t be able to attend at this time on a Monday, but I think Z23716 is an interesting and useful pattern for addres...) [12:58:57] I’ve done the fiddly bit 😏 I know how I’d do the full function (I think) but there might be better ideas. (re @u99of9: I predict they will take on something simpler than last time! I also send apologies - now that daylight savings has switched it...) [14:47:56] I'll see if we can do a better timing for next time! (re @u99of9: I predict they will take on something simpler than last time! I also send apologies - now that daylight savings has switched it...) [16:41:34] I created Z23723 with simplified arguments and a semi-hardcoded implementation, to get things started. (re @Al: As usual, I won’t be able to attend at this time on a Monday, but I think Z23716 is an interesting and useful pattern for addres...) [17:00:00] Friendly reminder that the Corner is in 30 minutes. See you at the usual link: https://meet.google.com/xuy-njxh-rkw [18:47:58] @vrandecic is the function you created tonight in British or American English? [18:47:58] see the test "grey is a colour" (or should it be "gray is a color") on Z23726
