Periodically Double or Triple Periodically Double or Triple Periodically Double or Triple is a song by American band Yo La Tengo, from their 2009 album "Popular Songs". The music video was directed by John McSwain, and features stop motion animation with pieces of fruit, interspersed with close-ups of various people eating fruit. "Stereogum" felt that it was "mellow" and "could have been written in the '60s", while "the Guardian" called it "strutting, tongue-in-cheek funk". "Pitchfork" faulted the lyrics as "reek(ing) of a distinct lack of confidence", but lauded the music, in particular the "out-of-nowhere elevator-music break". National Public Radio praised it as a "marvel
Quadruple-precision floating-point format Quadruple-precision floating-point format In computing, quadruple precision (or quad precision) is a binary floating-point-based computer number format that occupies 16 bytes (128 bits) in with precision more than twice the 53-bit double precision. This 128-bit quadruple precision is designed not only for applications requiring results in higher than double precision, but also, as a primary function, to allow the computation of double precision results more reliably and accurately by minimising overflow and round-off errors in intermediate calculations and scratch variables. William Kahan, primary architect of the original IEEE-754 floating point standard noted, "For now the 10-byte Extended format is a
