I wouldn't say that its very old fart-ish. I finished uni relatively recently (about 4 years ago) and floating point errors (and the inherent inaccuracies with storing base 10 values in base 2 format) were certainly covered in our courses. Indeed, I would expect this to be basic knowledge covered in any good Software Dev / Programming course.
