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 @lisyarus Do the tags not tease enough that it's probably not about snails? Or how about the fact that the person posting is usually talking about graphics, gamedev, and programming. You could click the article and spend about 10 seconds deciding if it's interesting or not. Talking about needing to be enticed sounds like you have too much of a firehose of a feed going on.
