Whenever the topic of working from home comes up, I always find myself defending my productivity. A colleague will say, “Well, it’s nice, but you’re just not as productive as if you were in the office.” Something about the argument never sat well with me, and I’ve finally nailed down what it is:...

Welcome to the world of [denormalized floating-point](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denormal_nber)! They can wreak havoc on performance!!! > Denormal (or subnormal) numbers are kind of a hack to get some extra values very close to zero out of the floating point representation. Operations on denormalized floating-point can be **_tens to hundreds of times slower_** than on normalized floating-point. This is because many processors can't handle them direly and must trap and resolve them using microcode. > If you print out the numbers after 10,000 iterations, you will see that they have converged to different values depending on whether 0 or 0.1 is used.

> Anyway, I hope this post hasn’t been too harsh. I’m not all about the money. I think working in a startup can be an enormously rewarding experience. I wouldn’t recommend it any other way. But you need to match your talents, age, skills, ambition and economic situation with your current reality. At a minimum be realistic about the outcomes. And make sure you ask yourself the question, “am I here to earn or to learn?”
