    I love seeing a Shewchuk citation other than my ML background of learning conjugate gradient! He is truly a great educator!

      his predicates paper opens with "Computational geometers despise floating-point arithmetic" same trick as the CG title: write the sentence a frustrated reader would write, then aren it.. if you like those the Triangle paper is the third one in the same key
