minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink8•edit-21 year agoIt’s a joke, but when exposing a number the number of left digits transmit the confidence you have in your number. 0.1 tells you that the “real” number is 0.1a, where 0 <= a < 5. 0.10000000000 is giving you a lot more information than 0.1
Thanks, it makes more sense now.
