    I had the same experience. C++ doesn't even compile or I have to tell it all the time "use C++23 features". I tried to learn OpenGL with it. This worked out a bit, since I had to s…

    What kept me as an intern during education is the feedback and the nerdy chitchat. Developing as an intern in a team, where you have your own project and the possibility to chat wi…

    Awesome! The fold up mechanism is a great idea to make it look clean, when there is no party and it also saves the hardware from dust :D

    My type is a bit simpler. But I think the approach is the same. After all, boost's type has much more math functions implemented. I don't have exp, sqrt...

    If I understand this correctly GMP has a flexible mantissa with no limitations during runtime. In fas you have to specify the sizes (of mantissa and exponent) during compile time. …

    Sure. Float Gives you a signed Mantissa with 64 bit and a signed Exponent with 64bit. Since there are numeric limits for int64_t available, Float knows the max and the min value. Y…

    I don't get what you mean. I thought they specify how the type can be used?

    Actually you can specify the numeric limits of the mantissa and the exponent. They can be specified as template arguments[0]. So you could do: Float // highest possible value of th…

    Rounding: actually it just cuts off. I have not spent much time to think about how to specify and implement the different rounding modes. Maybe some day... Thanks for the hint to t…
