Quite easy: lim(-1/x,x->INF) makes a negative 0. You have to understand that the limit 0 is an entirely different beast from the 0 you get in your wallet when you spend all your money.

Damn you people. I started looking into this then I wrote the following:
if (-0 == +0)
{
Console.WriteLine(Math.Sign(0));
}
that was C#
it returned 0 as expected.
Now I am wondering if math is real.

If 0 represents the contents of my glass then zero is very definitely negative.

I find 0.0 to be negative when it involves the quantity of money in my control.

Should I still continue in this profession or just quit now?

I would try to find better cartoons first.
it ain’t broke, it doesn’t have enough features yet.

I usually don't read programming themed cartoons, or cartoons at all, unless someone posts an "obligatory Dilbert."

With no bio, I can't be sure - but if it is assumed that you're new to this business, then as soon as you get some real experience (and possibly slit the throat of a user and/or manager or two) you'll understand.
If not, there's always a job selling artisinal ice cream treats to grouchy assholes. You need to worry about cartoons there, too. click[^]

For you, I updated my bio. There is a reason "anal" appears in "Artisanal". But I like ice cream, but at my age, you might not enjoy me eating ice cream.

Wait, what? This is an option that's available to us?

You're usually allowed only three per year.
In Canada, however, you're only aloud to shake your finger at them whilst speaking crossly.

What if the customer isn't Canadian?

You misunderstood!
It doesn't matter if the customer is Canadian or not.
If the developer is Canadian he/she must remain polite at all times. Even the bit about speaking crossly to those who deserve to have their face microwaved took a special vote of parliament and their mother's permission.

Who do you prefer: Dilbert, D. Hilbert, or Dr. Hibbert?

Quitting isn't your only option, you know. Drinking heavily and often is another. Or, if you're in Wales, you could raise sheep for, erm... recreation.

I've been to Wales. The one-and-a-half lane roads frightened me going around curves. Especially when I forgot to drive on the left side.

One and a half? Luxury!
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

After reading your bio - Yes. It is time to quit*, any profession...
*Based on your bio, yous should be somewhere over 70, so it is time to start a life...

He wrote 'many', not 'all'. Otherwise, given that some CP'ers are in their 70s already, he would have to be approximately 100 years old! 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Your seventh post in nine years is that you don't have a sense of humor?
You should really work on your presentation skills

I believe that having a sense of humor and getting programming jokes are mutually exclusive concepts. I don't believe one can have both.
And you are exaggerating. I'm pretty sure I've made at least 10 comments here in the last 9 years.

I guess that proves you have SOME sort of humor...
