Blog Post

Summarize discussion on Floating point issues that occurred in this Pull Request. The different solutions proposed should be discussed with pros/cons and why we made the decision we made in admiral.

Can get in the technical weeds as I think it is a very interesting topic.

I was thinking of adding a link to an excelent paper on this in SAS by Nigel Montgomery: https://phuse.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/Archive/2008/Connect/EU/Manchester/PAP_CS08.pdf

I think it would be a great reminder that such issues have always been around and is a recurring theme in stats programming. What do you think @bms63 ?

Feel free to add it in - maybe a summary of links at the end of the post would be handy?
