my regular mistake is that...

I assume that there is an infinite number of integer numbers, while for most of programmers in this world and age there are either 2^16, or 2^32, or 2^64 of them. Tastes may vary. Of course the generations of 2^16 numbers will retire soon; new generations are sure that there are 2^32 integer numbers and 2^64 "long" numbers. They'll go too; but while they are here, it is really hard to talk to them. We are in different universes.

Вещественных чисел на отрезке [0, 1] лишь немногим больше. И распределены они удивительно криво.

Indeed, many a programmer fail to grasp EWD416 (http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/ewd04xx/EWD416.PDF) completely.

There is no need in this world for integers wider than approx. 88/log₁₀2 = 293 bits. Are you satisfied?
