Somewhat of a deviation from the topic of this article, but I enjoyed this terminology from the Facebook bug analysis: > After a few iterations, it became obvious that the computation of Int(1.1^53) as an input to the math.pow function in Scala would always produce a result of 0 on Core 59 of the CPU The use of the word "obvious" here reminds me very heavily of this particular SMBC: https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/how-math-works https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/how-math-works Not two paragraphs earlier they're talking about how discovering this required multiple entire teams of engineers. Lots of things are obvious after you've done all the hard work involved in understanding it!
