Is that the central shortcoming in binary floating-point math?Hi, I'm struggeling with bin-FP imprecision ( think not the first one who does ), and think to have identified one central weakness.IEEE 754 standard delivers consistent arithmetic for a wide range of 'english plumber metrics' ( imperial system of measurement, halves, quarters, eights, sixteenths and so on ). Up to where it runs out of bits and switches into rounding.Alas decimal fractions are encoded in a way that most of them fall in that weak category, and operation results often need additional fit-in rounding.Rounded results aren't qualified for associativity and distributivity, the math with them is 'broken', is not qualified arithmetic from mathematical POV.In consequence the problems for calculations with decimal fractions are not limited to extreme cases or peripheral areas, but occur freely scattered even in the simplest calculations. ( 2 times 64 bit fail to add 0.2 and 0.1 correctly, embarrassing )Alas plenty of programs / users try substituting decimal fraction math with b

Ask HN: How to find job as Maths graduate with little other qualifications?I apologize if this question is to open-ended or otherwise inappropriate to the “Ask HN” format.I’m a student of Mathematics in Germany, at the very end of my Master’s (thesis submitted & defended, awaiting gradation) but have not managed to secure any job offer up till now, in spite of having tried for quite some time now. At this point I feel somewhat at a loss, so I was hoping that anybody on here knowledgeable about the job market in Germany would perhaps have an idea as to what (if anything) I might be doing wrong or what other avenues I could consider that I’ve missed so far.My main problem is likely that I have almost nothing to show in the way of “hard” skills and practical qualification besides the Maths degree. I did work part-time for most of my studies, but mostly stuff like generic office work or watching kids at an after-school care.When my graduation neared, I first thought hat it might be possible to find a job in an industrial context (e.g. in Automotive/Aviation, Phar
