13:12 <puritylake[m]> Is the floating point implementation in Java consistent across all machines?

13:19 <headius> Generally yes

13:20 <headius> It does not hide platform differences but otherwise tries to be consistent

14:11 <puritylake[m]> Also curious if there is another feature outside of sprintf that needs to be worked on?

14:37 <enebo[m]> puritylake: just fixing issues for upcoming 9.4 largely

14:39 <puritylake[m]> Ah cool, been really trying to understand dtoa in CRuby, it’s a mess to translate that to Java due to gotos, might need to look elsewhere

15:39 <headius> Yeah that coffee is rough

15:44 <enebo[m]> puritylake: I can totally understand. It is a difficult project.

15:44 <enebo[m]> puritylake: I was just looking at this the other day: https://blog.m-ou.se/floats/

15:45 <enebo[m]> This is about converting between two float types (in Rust) but it was an interesting read in discussing floating point representation

15:56 <enebo[m]> err I should say a non-float to float u128 -> f64. I had not read this in a week.

16:00 <puritylake[m]> Should be an interesting read regardless

16:18 <enebo[m]> That code also made it into C# at MS

16:37 <puritylake[m]> I don’t have to brain to figure those things out myself lol
