This baffles me. Did the software engineers creating this not take a course on numerical analysis in college? Or were those, as so often are, electrical engineers that had been hired to do software work? The amount of misunderstanding in the industry about what it takes to create mission-critical software is incredible.
- assemble 16y agoTrust me, most of us EEs know -plenty- about floating point problems. We also have to take entire classes about how our work could kill somebody. Bugs are bugs, errors and oversights happen. You have to deal with it, document what happened, and be vigilant to make sure it never happens again.
