#roundingerrors — Public Fediverse posts

🎉 Oh, joy! Another riveting deep dive into rounding errors as if it were the hottest topic since sliced bread 🍞. Bias compounds? 🙄 More like, "Math nerds compound their own importance while the rest of us nod and smile politely." Variance washes out? Good luck washing out the boredom from this snooze-fest. 💤

JFC please don't use floating point types for calculating financial transactions or storing monetary values. I just got asked to review some code by someone and it is the first thing I spotted.

The (sort of, maybe a bit) revival* of #blogs might be a good consequence of the flight to the #Fediverse - at least I've started writing and reading them again.

This one on #RoundingErrors is a corker by @micefearboggis and if you're at all interested in #Climate #homogenisation or #Statistics you should definitely be following him.
A classic of the #genre.

*Yes there's lots of caveats, notably, it maybe too soon to tell..
