Re^5: False positive on inequality comparison

Hm. When I unpack those two values, they are distinctly different:

printf "%17.17f\n", unpack 'd', pack 'b64', 
'1001110001010011100010111001000010000101000001010110011000000010';;
181.01965800261112000

printf "%17.17f\n", unpack 'd', pack 'b64', 
'1010110001010011100010111001000010000101000001010110011000000010';;
181.01965800261101000

$first = unpack 'd', pack 'b64', 
'1001110001010011100010111001000010000101000001010110011000000010';;

$second = unpack 'd', pack 'b64', 
'1010110001010011100010111001000010000101000001010110011000000010';;

printf "%f %f ;> %17.17f\n", $first, $second, $first - $second;;
181.019658 181.019658 ;> 0.00000000000011369

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

"Too many [] have been sedated by an oppressive environment of political correctness and risk aversion."
