> Both statements are true, but the equivalence of steradian and radian squared does not follow from them. Integrals don't "preserve" every property. For example, [infinitesimal rotation is a vector...

Yep---the idea is to strike a balance between usability, and preventing error prone operations. The adaptive policy adjusts to the risk of overflow actually present for a given Rep and...

No, my understanding of that phrase (as I read it on the linked page) is a way to say, "don't worry about precision loss for this type; treat it as...

Thanks for clarifying---it looks like I just misread your initial statement. From reading that page, it seems the policy is _somewhat_ "adaptive", but only in the most extreme cases imaginable...

Update: in case anyone who wasn't at CppCon would like to know more, the talk is now online! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEBlaaht5cA The link is unlisted for now, so consider this a "sneak...

Thanks for following up! But I don't think this test reproduces the problem. The goal of the original code was to recover the input value _as an integer_. The static...

The simplest and most robust answer is that the "absoluteness" or "relativeness" attaches not to the _unit_, but to the _type_. In other words, you need a separate notion of...

Try as I might, squint as I might, I just can't see it as a "U". It looks like a "sideways C" to me. It also "feels wrong" that there...

While it's too bad to lose the "calipers" idea, I like the new logo a lot better!
