Daily WTF

Those of you who are Of The Code, you'll probably get a kick out of this site:

IT also taught me something today that I never knew (or knew, and forgot): float values can't store some values (such as 0.1) exactly since they're infinitely repeating in binary.

It's a good thing I'm not stupid enough to test direct equality in a floating point (because when you're working with floats, the chance of being exactly on any given value is rare, particularly in gaming) unless I'm using it as a boolean for convenience sake, since it can store 1 and 0 pretty well. Not a good programming practice, but it'd be a pain to use a union for what I need it for.
