It would be nice if the site had an explanation why the decimal 0.1 has no finite representation in base-2 system. In short it's about factorization of the base of the system - base-2 lacks 5 that is present in base-10. It is analogous

I have different experience. Soros & co are really operating a political engineering project in eastern europe. He is funding many NGOs here, to the point where regular people hearing "NGO" interprete it as shady-leftist-organ

Well, the article also fails to mention that the Soviet Union exported food products during this famine. People starved because of confiscation of goods and mandatory food contingents. Ukraine has one of the most fertile soil on the planet

You inspired me to check java world. // 0.0d / 0 equals 0x7ff8000000000000 (NaN) // Math.sqrt(-1) equals 0xfff8000000000000 (NaN) // 0x0p+0d is a funky way to specify 0x0000000000000000 (0)
