> -sigma < x < 0 < y < sigma, abs(x - y) > sigma This statement works fine. If the numbers are farther than sigma apart then `abs(x - y) > sigma` is true as it should be . It's not distance to 0, it's distanc

Well first riddle me this. How do you calculate a ⅓% (1 / 3 of a percent) fee with integers. Depending on your choice of solution I can tell you how it has a problem and how arbitrary precision numbers would solve it.

I think there is a deeper problem here with HR. Uber didn't care enough to figure out whether it was sexist or not (or even care enough to do anything about it at all). That means Uber is sexist simply by not caring enough to check (re

Ah that makes more sense. I thought the OP was implying Razer is Chinese as I have seen others do.

Yes. But then you write that at the boundary. Along with the other consistency checks. And you are forced to think about it at the appropriate time, instead of forgetting about it entirely (floats) or introducing subtle errors (integers, an

Or use a language with arbitrary precision numbers (they are only like 50 years old so I can see why many people don't use them /s). As someone else already pointed out, this still prevents calculations of fees as a percentage, an

For developing skills, a simple answer is learn a new language. Do a personal project in something dynamic and object oriented (e.g. not C). C is a great language and you will be happy you know it. But learning new languages forces you to t

The manager wasn't telling male workers to wear long sleeved shirts, so that's the most obvious one. It was also obviously the last straw. Often in stories like these the last straw seems pretty stupid compared to a larger problem

You aren't following the instructions. You have to rewrite all comparisons to use a small sigma. `0.f == x` becomes `SIGMA > x` `0.f == y` becomes `SIGMA > y` `x == y` becomes `SIGMA > abs(x - y)` All the expression work if

Unless you wanna kill it before it is deployed. For example if the U.S. was aware that a nation state was about to pull out on funding for it and wanted to keep the economic dominance of GPS.

This is (partially) meant to be used for chips that don't exist. As future instructions are made public software vendors (like compiler vendors) can use this to be ready when the chips come out day 1.
