<egg|anbo|egg> whitequark: re. https://twitter.com/mabelandtee/status/1381043149125074946, speaking of furigana, the Amarna letters are full of glosses
<egg|anbo|egg> you have sumerograms followed by their reading in Akkadian
<egg|anbo|egg> and you even have Akkadian words (written either syllabically or with sumerogram) with Canaanite glosses

<egg|anbo|egg_> (it turns out Lagny’s irrational method, which has fallen into obscurity
<egg|anbo|egg_> —despite being preferred by Halley, albeit for digit-by-digit arithmetic performance reasons that are rarely relevant nowadays—
<egg|anbo|egg_> is a serious contender in performance to his rational method, despite having a square root in addition to a division—and it has half the error)
<SnoopJ> things programmers believe about how clever programmers are
