If you design your apps well, you can segment your application into discrete components that do not depend on each other. And if you don't have any full e2e tests in CI, you can test whether you did the segmentation r

The grid has topological constraints, because links in the network have finite capacity. Encoding that in a "price" would require pricing to vary not just based on total grid usage but also on the location of each load on the grid

The arithmetic is correct - the problem is that "9999999999999999.0" isn't representable exactly. 9999999999999998.0 in IEEE754 is 0x4341C37937E07FFF "9999999999999999.0" in IEEE754 is 0x4341C37937E08000 - the sig

I don't see how UCS-2 helps with iteration; in particular, it means that characters like emojis get represented as surrogate pairs so you're right back to having to iterate over the whole string to find a real character boundary.
