Because even a long (64-bit int) is too small :)
A long can hold 2^64-1 = 1.84E19
A double can hold 1.79E308
Double does some black magic with an exponent, and can hold absolutely massive numbers!
Double also has some situations that it defines as “infinity”, a concept that does not exist in long as far as I know (?)
Doubles have a much higher max value than ints, so if the method were to convert all doubles to ints they would not work for double values above 2^31-1.
(It would work, but any value over 2^31-1 passed to such a function would get clamped to 2^31-1)
Ive never used githubs CI/CD, but gitlab has quite a large ecosystem for its CI/CD.
Seems to me like you could use gitlab as a one-stop-shop to host everything from your code to your artifacts and containers, if you are willing to pay for those fancy features
Free is able to just do basic CI/CD for like 250 minutes a month, or unlimited via your own runners/build servers, thats about it
I dont post my code to github because I would rather use gitlab
We are not the same
To use variable pricing to get you to pay the most amount possible, or to convince customers that are on the fence with a clever salestalk or small bonuses
Because paying a few grand a year for a certificate somehow makes your software more trustworthy
