  • Cuelang: https://cuelang.org/docs/reference/spec/#numeric-values

    Implementation restriction: although numeric values have arbitrary precision in the language, implementations may implement them using an internal representation with limited precision. That said, every implementation must:

    • Represent integer values with at least 256 bits.
    • Represent floating-point values with a mantissa of at least 256 bits and a signed binary exponent of at least 16 bits.
    • Give an error if unable to represent an integer value precisely.
    • Give an error if unable to represent a floating-point value due to overflow.
    • Round to the nearest representable value if unable to represent a floating-point value due to limits on precision. These requirements apply to the result of any expression except for builtin functions, for which an unusual loss of precision must be explicitly documented.
  • That works until you realize your calculations are all wrong due to floating point inaccuracies. YAML doesn't require any level of precision for floats, so different parsers on a document may give you different results.

  • YAML doesn't require any level of accuracy for floating point numbers, and that doc appears to have numbers large enough to run into problems for single-precision floats (maybe double too). That means different parsers could give you different results.

  • Image is accurate, since without bugs, the food chain collapses and takes society with it, and the survivors will have to migrate to rural areas that can support a hunter-gatherer lifrstyle.

  • Yoy should come join the tautology club. Just remember these three rules:

    1. The first rule of tautology club is the first rule of tautology club
    2. The second rule of tautology club is not the first rule of tautology club
    3. If this is your first night at tautology club, you haven't been here before
