Lev, excuse me if I go in super pedantic mode, but your answer and the current
text of the article fail to grasp an important point.
1) The proleptic Gregorian calendar is about leap year rules. It tracks days
without making any assumption on the length of days. If we agree on using this
calend
I am getting an interesting result, and I'm wondering if anyone would care to
give me some intuition of why.
The example is simple enough, I want to get a range of values that are
representable by a type:
```python
f64_info = np.finfo(np.float64)
valid_range = np.linspace(
start=f64_info.mi
Could it be you need to get a handle on the "epsilon machine"?

• Short answer:
It's because
>>> f64_info.max - f64_info.min
inf
• Long answer:
linspace(a,b,n) tries to calculate the step by (b-a)/n and fails at (b-a).
You need to either
– split your range into two parts and then glue them back:
np.r_[np.linspace(f64_info.min, 0, 5), np.linspace(0, f64_info
