Floating point numbers generally wind up as heuristics rather than 100% accurate values e.g. there is no way to store 1/3 etc. There are libraries that allow operating on big numbers with higher accuracy https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/math/BigDecimal.html however there is generally a tradeoff between desired accuracy and performance so most 3d software wont implement it instead they run calculations on the GPU. Most GPUs will use double precision floating point rather than floating point leading to more accurate calculations.

It was not just one post; this was merely the straw that broke the camel’s back. Your previous responses in the thread were flippant. You answered yes to a question and when you were asked for a citation you simply posted a picture of a magic 8-ball showing ‘yes’ Despite your claim here, there were serious responses in the thread. Elsewhere you had posted a stock discussion in quantum theory. You’ve posted pictures in other threads that did not contribute to the discussion. I recall trying to give you feedback about this, which you rejected. We reached saturation with that behavior. You can learn from it, or not

Got this in my email: First, I saw this joke from TheVat from this thread: I thought his squirrel joke was funny, so I laughed at it with a squirrel image macro: ..................and somehow that was "TROLLING." Now I don't know which windmill who was tilting at and I frankly don't give a flip, but unless someone was using some obscure meaning of the term "TROLLING" that I was (as still am) utterly unfamiliar with, there was no "TROLLING." Laughing at someone's joke isn't "TROLLING," and I've no idea where this nonsensical "rebellion" label came from either (again, don't know what they're on about, and don't care either). No one was taking that joke of a topic seriously at that point, and ironically only got serious when some mod got serious about it. I wasn't pooping anyone's good time in this little social club. Call a spade a spade- If you don't like image macros then just say so; Don't accuse me of doing something I didn't do.
