I am, like, really enthusiastic about floating-point numbers. Idk. I think it's just because they are needlessly hated on by some software developers who never learned the details of the IEEE standard and seem to think floats encounter rounding errors at random. I guess I just like to be counterculture like that. I saw that Audacity said my encoding was 32-bit float and I was like "hell yeah, 24 bits of precision (23 explicit, 1 implicit), 8-bit mantissa, and 1 sign bit? You go, digital audio workstation!"
