Interestingly enough, this isn't a mess in the shell's own builtins. The [ ] expression syntax is provided by the program /usr/bin/[ which is (often) a symlink to /usr/bin/test. It's just a cleve

There is a huge amount of these $20 bills lying around in fact. The thing is they're not that easy to pick up. These ERP systems are often fairly bespoke, designed for the workflow and needs of specific industries, or even specific

I don't think finitists have a problem with convergent sequences, they just wouldn't talk about infinities, rather than extending the sequence gets you as arbitrarily to 1/3 as you wish to go
