Ah! Might be helpful to specify that up front. Even so: Interval math could be quite helpful for lots of things that ... aren't using it.

- hnlmorg 6y ago> Might be helpful to specify that up front I thought his post was pretty clear tbh. For example he mentions complex types so that should be an indicator that he's not talking about the kind of high school maths that the average developer can coast along with.
- im3w1l 6y agoDo you have an example of someone solving a real-world problem with interval math? I've only ever seen toy examples and theoretical justifications.
- Quekid5 6y ago1) Most of (micro-)benchmarking in computing. Of course you want a tiny bit more analysis in that case. 2) Slightly more real-world: Measuring things when you only have approximate rulers, have difficult things to measure (odd surfaces, etc.), or have to calculate from 2nd hand measurements (pictures with rulers, etc.) Not sure if that qualifies as Real World, but...?
- im3w1l 6y agoBy real world I mean code running in production and making someone money. Or a popular open source package. And I'd be interested in which company or project that is and if they have a writeup.
