Float and integer arithmetic follow two different paradigms

This blog post discusses the differences between float and integer arithmetic, specifically how safety concerns and error handling differ between the two paradigms. It critiques common practices in float arithmetic that arise from misconceptions, such as using arbitrary epsilon values, and argues that checking the finiteness of results is a more effective and straightforward approach. The author shares personal insights and experiences regarding these practices, ultimately advocating for a reassessment of how developers handle float operations to avoid errors and improve code resilience.
