Welcome to the world of [denormalized floating-point](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denormal_nber)! They can wreak havoc on performance!!! > Denormal (or subnormal) numbers are kind of a hack to get some extra values very close to zero out of the floating point representation. Operations on denormalized floating-point can be **_tens to hundreds of times slower_** than on normalized floating-point. This is because many processors can't handle them direly and must trap and resolve them using microcode. > If you print out the numbers after 10,000 iterations, you will see that they have converged to different values depending on whether 0 or 0.1 is used.

> Anyway, I hope this post hasn’t been too harsh. I’m not all about the money. I think working in a startup can be an enormously rewarding experience. I wouldn’t recommend it any other way. But you need to match your talents, age, skills, ambition and economic situation with your current reality. At a minimum be realistic about the outcomes. And make sure you ask yourself the question, “am I here to earn or to learn?”
