That's what you get when representing ratios with floating point numbers. :blackeye:


I agree, accuracy to 4 parts in 10^17 is completely unacceptable. :twisted:
The accuracy is good enough. It's the aesthetics of it that are garbage.

I'm waiting for the day when we use some sort of super high-level languages that automatically avoid floating points wherever possible.
