xkcd and Data Science

One thought on “xkcd and Data Science

  1. Ha! Excellent!

    “Garbage x 0 = precise number” ….if garbage is finite.

    Much of my garbage code silently fills memory addresses with QNaNs/Infs et al, giving onlookers the impression I write correct code. Excellent for “i’ll email you the results after the call”type demos. Not so much for production.

    🙂
