New blog post! I really hope I'll get a decent amount of people mad with this one 😈😈😈

It's OK to compare floating-points for equality

@lisyarus but what’s it about to justify leaving the Fedi client for a webbrowser? For all I know it could be about, idk, reproduction of snails (Fedi is weird so…).

No description, no teaser, not even a title, and no speaking URL either (if it is speaking, don’t truncate it when you post).

This doesn’t entice me, I have to say:

@mirabilos Well, you're entirely free not to read it, then!
@lisyarus and here I was trying to give a tip on improving things…
@mirabilos Thanks for the tip (really), I'm not using a dedicated client and just using a web browser, which shows the link preview, which has a post title. And, to be honest, it's the first time I see someone complain about this.
@lisyarus there’s no such thing as a "link preview" in the majority of both Fedi client software and Fedi instance software (and both have to support it for the user to get any)
