Yes, and annoyingly it only goes back 20,000 years. Going back 400,000 years would tell a much more interesting story.

> Really, are you sure? Pretty sure, and user adwn commented on it too. It's a pretty common pattern to not answer the question and then indicate it was a dumb question in the firs…

I appreciate your reply, but I don't believe the vandalism and arson metaphor fits. There are just people you let get away with crap and ones you don't. His goal was to antagonize …

Dan, go fuck yourself. By letting people get away with snarky condescending tones and banning people who call them out on it, you're encouraging shitty behavior. "Don't be snarky" …

Nice job - you've succeeded in being just another condescending asshole.

> civility's reply to your post is somewhat rude Not as rude as I wanted to be. I expect answers like that from Stack Overflow or Reddit - just another condescending ego play witho…

Your answer is trite and unhelpful.

Is anyone aware of a good/fast single threaded allocator for cases where you don't need/want to pay for thread safety?

And here I was, worried I might be tedious or pedantic, trying to argue that floating point is just not that simple. You've really outdone me in that regard.

So umm, more than a "difference in the realm of 6-8 significant digits"?

Ugh, you're preaching to the choir. I wasn't trying to make a point about the equality operator, I was trying to make a point about x and y being completely different. I must be re…

No joke. Is it 10 years from now, 100 years, or something else?

> [...] or we're all doomed! When are we all doomed? Can you put a date (year) on it?

Call it a contrivance if you want, my point was just that you can get very surprising results even for "real life" sized numbers. Not sure why you changed it from "1.0 % 0.2" to "0…

I didn't see anything in your message above indicating you were restricting yourself to integers.

I think I see where you're hung up. If I change it to: x = 1e20 + 1 - 1e20 y = 1e20 - 1e20 + 1 assert x == y There is only 1 digit, and it's wrong. You don't even need 6-8. I proba…

> JavaScript is precise for 2^53 range What does this mean to you? It's very easy to get horrible rounding error with real-life sized things. For instance document.writeln(1.0 % 0.…

The person I replied to claims to have looked at large* data sets and never seen a discrepancy in 6-8 significant digits. I thought I'd show them a small data set with 3 samples th…

x = 1e-20 + 1e20 - 1e20 y = 1e20 - 1e20 + 1e-20 assert x == y

Really, it's just part of the scam. Most people actually believe the seller is paying the realtors. It's how the buyer's agent can say, "Don't worry about my rate, the seller pays …

You're right, of course. However in this case, I'd like to see someone fix the problem instead of just making it more palatable. To me FlyHomes looks like just another realtor who …

The buyer pays everyone - no one else brings any money to the transaction.

In Arizona, every stick-and-stucco house has (or will have) termites. The inspector already knows the answer before he shows up. You pay for "treatment" each time the places change…

I just found their quote: > Flyhomes makes money through the commission paid by the home’s seller. This is the same lie all realtors love to throw out. "You don't pay - the seller …

What rate do they charge? It looks like they provide a cash offer and then find financing so you can buy it from them. I didn't see anything about how this eliminates middle-men an…
