I believe Wolfram Mathematica has this terrible global scoping by default. It's not exactly a language that programmers refer to often, as it's not really general purpose, but I had to do some work with MRI data in it and I hated

I think he is talking about GA 100L fuel. Which, as someone stated elsewhere, I think absolutely should be changed to 94UL across the board. I don't believe there is no possible way a small single prop GA plane simply cant run on u

I actually have a preference towards Nature Communications over Nature, as Nature Communications actually allows more pages for explanation and as such typically has more rigorous research. On the flip side, Nature often has bolder claims w

It's been my understanding that Fortran is loved by physicists due to it's procedural approach, and doesn't require learning objects and inheritance, etc. There's a lot to learn in higher level physics, so having the si
