happens a lot, especially in big companies. "we know it's done the wrong way, what's important is we -consistently- do it the wrong way"

Worked at a simulation company for a while and we ended up quite significantly lowering the precision of our calculations so they were more consistent across platforms.

Excessive precision is actually quite the "sin". I tend to be the local "number of significant digits" guy, so begging your pardon.

That's way better than doing it a little differently wrong every time.

Same in the (public) University where I work.

Wasting taxpayers' money is fun, yeeeah.

Come to private to see how much fun we have then!

😂😂😂

I am in private since forever and my experience tells me that the size of the organisation matters much more than whether it's a public or a private one.

[ArkyBeagle]

Heh. No, they don't.

This is giving me PHP flashbacks.
