Still one of my favorite memes.

Image description] two panel comic made with screenshots from the show Invincible

[Panel 1] Omni-man and Invincible look at the sky, where is superimposed a graphical representation of how a floating point number is stored in memory on digital systems: a sign, an exponent, and a mantissa.

[Panel 2] Omni-man looks at and speaks to Invincible, the subtitles reading "Look at what they need to mimic a fraction". The rest of the usual quote, "of our power" is blanked out.

Thanks @Siph

I Forget

@fatlimey Excellent!

Also oddly timely, as literally less than 24h ago I was explaining to my partner how IEEE 754 floats work. Is there something I need to know about my privacy?
