fyi: abril uno (April 1st) appears to be a spoof news website like the onion

The same thing that prevents sites from shipping sites that only support particular browsers today.

There is a rounding formula that should make it possible to implement efficiently in inexact floating point arithmetic. (I think knuth gives a solution in TAOCP). Also, depending o…

I think he was saying that this is a case of Hanlon's razor[1]. i.e. this situation could be easily explained by simple api churn (and the fact that the OP was using an undocumente…
