Here is what I said:

“ This shift is an analogous to how we took having to do computer arithmetic out of the hands of programmers in the 80s. There used to be a substantial part of programming that was just a computer arithmetic. Now, almost nobody does that. Nobody in this thread could build a full adder if their life depended on it or produce an accurate sin function.”

It is truly not my fault that you proceeded to lecture me for multiple posts just to reach the conclusion that I SET OUT FOR YOU: standardization of computer arithmetic is good and makes it so that someone doing math on a computer doesn’t need to become an expert on how the computer does math.

As I said when you first insinuated yourself: I don’t need your help to be an engineer or a developer, thank you. You persisted anyway and embarrassed yourself.
