delighted to announce that my new zine "How Integers and Floats Work!" is out today!

You can get it here for $12: https://wizardzines.com/zines/integers-floats/?utm_source=mastodon

It explains all of the surprising facts about how your computer does math, and it was SO fun to write.

Reminder: if you’re in a country where $12 USD is a lot of money, I’ve set up purchasing power parity for “How Integers and Floats Work” — if you go to https://wizardzines.com/zines/integers-floats/?utm_source=mastodon, you should see a special discount for your country.

@b0rk would LOVE to hear how you did this. #PurchasingPowerParity is so important. I don't run a shop, but folks who do should know about this.

@Sidneys1 basically there's a small server-side function I wrote that uses the client IP address to determine your country and then has a lookup table of discount rates/codes based on the country
