And then JSON doesn’t restrict numbers to any range or precision; and at least when I deal with JSON values, I feel the need to represent them as a BigDecimal or similar arbitrary precision type to ensure I am not losing information.
That’s because the nearest representable float to 0.99999999999999 is 1.0 - not because Python is handling rationals correctly.
This is a float imprecision issue that just happens to work out in this case.
It’s worth wondering why, if Python is OK with “/“ producing a result of a different type than its arguments, don’t they implement a ratio type. e.g. https://www.cs.cmu.edu/Groups/AI/html/cltl/clm/node18.html#SECTION00612000000000000000
How would you implement this in code?
JavaScript is truly a bizarre language - we don’t need to go as far as arbitrary-precision decimal, it does not even feature integers.
I have to wonder why it ever makes the cut as a backend language.
I don’t think they’re talking to you.
I wasn’t aware that the US built a pipeline in Afghanistan, can you give more details?
That would not be a good play if it results in the person who will get more of their family members killed gaining office.
I think it’s kind of presumptuous to assume that every Muslim has family in Gaza, as well.
When people say you twist words, this is what they mean.
“Murder” and “Violence” have well accepted meanings - redefining them to mean “anything that doesn’t line up with fringe-left communist ideals” is a propaganda tactic.

And, it is literally not. Assessing it as “not genocide” is saying they aren’t ok with genocide.
Can you link to a statement advocating for it?
You still claim ignorance of the difference between “viable” and “spoiler” in the US election system?
