This is something my wife just had to learn to accept. I'll find something cool and realize I don't want to go through life not understanding this topic. Most recently: floating point emulation.

I'm particularly interested in how emulators deal with the mismatch between the FPU of the target hardware versus the host.

It's a fascinating and frustrating topic when you're trying to emulate floating point in a specific way using hardware that doesn't exactly do what you need. But almost. For example, maybe your host rounds differently or uses different status flags so the challenge is to find as many cases as possible where you can still exploit your host FPU without generating incorrect results.

What did you just have to accept about your wife?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

She needs alone, stimulation-free time for one. It might look like nothing, but that time is like sleep to her, and without it she's not functional.

no idea what this is but i am now furiously looking floating point up.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When I first tried swimming, it took me quite a while to get to the floating point.

When you lie on your back on water you go from floating point to floating plane

Whereas I find the phrase alone so complicated that I can't even bring myself to find out how even more complicated the concept is.
