TIL: in Excel if you refer to a cell formatted as a percentage (so for instance you have 0.05 and you see it as 5%) the resulting value gets multiplied by 100.

This is one of the cases where the line between bug and feature ahould be clearer 😓

@ashwinvis @bthall That is to say, path-connectedness relation in a directed graph (not necessarily acyclic) is only a pre-order (i.e. just reflexive and transitive), since all the elements in a non-trivial cycle would follow and precede each other, yet be different vertices.
While in a DAG, there are only trivial cycles, so if one vertex follows and precedes another, they're necessarily the same. So it is a "proper" (without "pre-") partial order.

@ashwinvis @bthall "Linear" means total order, that any two elements are in a relation (precedes, follows, or both). Partial order doesn't require that (elements may neither precede nor follow one another); path-connectedness of vertices in a directed graph is an example.
To be quite precise, one distinguishes (partial) orders and pre-orders, in the sense that the former also require that precedes-and-follows is iff they're equal w.r.t. some deeper equality…

I was an old skool raver in early 90s England - we got our whistles, lanyards etc from exactly the same places referees got them (traditional sports and outdoor goods shops) as well as things like fishing hats which were popular back then.

From memory there wasn't much rainbow imagery on the rave scene, simply because LGBT+ folk were always a major part of the UK dance music scene from the mid 80s onwards and did not really drift apart until the mid-late 1990s..

@bthall I don't think it's that much niche. Conversely, I'd say it's a reasonable criterion: purchase something not because you can't get it for free (without hassle), but because you can.
