If I'm going to use a 64 bit type for time I'd probably just use int64 microseconds, have over 250,000 years of uptime before overflowing, and not have to worry about the precision changing the longer the game is active.

These are two separate problems. This is talking about printing floating point numbers, and does not talk about parsing algorithms at all. When considering the correctness of a floating point decimal printing algorithm, you could use &quot

So I used to think this, but I've come around a bit. What indexes do is let you put a pointer "to sleep"; it can be woken up only by pairing it with a live data structure which you correctly have safe ownership of at the tim
