This thread is pretty wild github.com/ipld/specs/i...
If I'm being highly highly opinionated: literally don't do floating point math and bother to preserve the results. Floating point math is a mistake. Floating point math is acceptable only for estimates -- and because it's only acceptable for estimates, in all situations where you have used floating point math to derive some values, you should still store the original numbers in non-floating point form, such that you're ready to re-do any math on that data in more precise ways in the future. (This is logic that I would especially apply in scientific compute, personally. Science has enough reproducibility problems before throwing floating point precision issues into the mix!)
