07:48		aditsu	pdurbin: floating point limitations are not an excuse for poor programming practices, testing and training

11:55		pdurbin	aditsu: does BigDecimal solve the problems with floating point?
13:14		aditsu	it can solve many of them
13:14		aditsu	pdurbin: but it's not a panacea
14:20		pdurbin	gotcha
14:21		pdurbin	aditsu: well, this guy says that PDF from 2004 is still relevant: https://plus.google.com/+MichaelMcCandless/posts/6Rt4euZbb3x
15:21		aditsu	I guess it depends what kinds of things you're working with and how paranoid you are.. anyway, I find that PDF very hard to read, and if it makes any valid points, they are well hidden within a big heap of cruft
