Funny that so many uses of maths depends on measurement, and yet so many pure mathematicians seem to be clueless about how we actually measure things and why its useful. It doesn't even matters about all this bullshit about infinities , were talking about the real world. It's all about the precision of the tape measure. Here's a true story from back in the day:

English Mathematician: You'll need an infinite number of bricks to build a wall around any island's coastline. French guy: come on over and see Mont Saint Michel it's vraiment genial!

English Mathematician: Oh that wall is infinitely far away from the true coastline, those bricks are not regulation infinitesimal length. If they'd started from the other corner they'd have got a different shape, and for sure needed infinite number of infinitesimal bricks to actually build that wall. Sloppy french masons. I can prove it I'll blast them all away with cannon fire until the glorious mathematical truth is revealed underneath.

One year later French inhabitants: fuck off english maths whore!

Ten years more laterer Hi french dudes! I'm back with a greater number of even bigger state of the art truth seeking cannon. I will prove this if its the last thing i do.

One year later . . .

My new years resolution will be to solve this paradox.

I "could" get out of bed and get to work early.

[The Guide's] editors, having to meet a publishing deadline, copied [some] information off the back of a packet of breakfast cereal, hastily embroidering it with a few footnotes in order to avoid prosecution under the incomprehensibly torturous Galactic Copyright Laws. It's interesting to note that a later and wilier editor sent the book backwards in time, through a temporal warp, and then successfully sued the breakfast cereal company for infringement of the very same laws.

I knew a hammerhead shark once, it was actually very kind and considerate, even when hammering. I think humans will probably evolve into responsible hammer users in a few thousand generations or so. It's just a matter of practice.

You'll have to decide how user friendly the archwiki docs are for yourself. I find most of it pretty useful but sometimes it can get techy, or get confusing about versions/updates for llatest changes and so on.

It's probably better than any other linux dox in my opinion. But that bar is not exactly high.

Then again I don't know if windows even has documentation at all - I assume they replaced it with coprolite.
