Thank you! :) I totally get it. Same with my book: a new revision of the standard (Fortran 2018) was published half-way through the writing. However, thanks to the glacial pace of the Fortran standards development, I was able to plan for th

Regarding Con 5), it's generally true with some exceptions. I wrote a Fortran book ( https://www.manning.com/books/modern-fortran ) and expect it to stay fresh for at least several years thanks to the slow pace and

I've been enjoying Stadia on a 2013 Linux PC with a ~30/8 (down/up) Mbps wi-fi. Both Destiny 2 and AC: Odyssey work great. Occasional hiccups, yes. No more than a few per hour. It doesn't bother me. The fact that I'

Standard? True, undefined. Compilers, however, happily overflow unless you tell them to catch it at run time. So, my original statement is at least half false. :)

Fortran predictably overflows the result, in contrast to fptoui which gives a poison value. I agree that even a predictable overflow can bite you on the behind. But it's better than undefined behavior. I'm not a fan of saturated c

Not quite, but at optimization levels set by default WRF configuration for each compiler (definitely not a fair comparison): gfortran: -O2 -ftree-vectorize -funroll-loops ifort: -O3 I don't have the timing results anymore. This was in

Nice article. I'm curious which Fortran compiler did you use? One key difference that I see in the context of this article is that Fortran is natively parallel (both shared and distributed memory) via coarrays, teams, and events, where

Indeed, and this depends between applications. For the WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting) model, I get 3-4x speed up with Intel Fortran compiler over gfortran. I don't see where the Author mentions the Fortran compiler used, though

Of course these are anecdotal. I got my IdeaPad U430 in 2014. Same year it slid off my bunk bed (6' high), first hitting the corner of my dresser before it fell on the hardwood floor. It cracked its spine in half and got a dent in the

Lead author here. We found further evidence of drag saturation in hurricane winds, which was independently discovered in the field and laboratory in 2003. Drag saturation means that the air-sea drag coefficient ceases to increase with wind

tl;dr If the used cup won't touch the pouring utensil, it's OK to reuse; otherwise, you get a new cup. In retrospect, this is what I observe as a customer in most cases.

I had no idea and it makes sense. Most coffee shops and bars that I go to (South Florida) don't follow this.

When I asked a Starbucks barista to fill my coffee cup (now empty) with water, it didn't compute. He insisted that I should get a fresh cup with a lid and straw and all just for water. It took a few back and forths but in the end he ag

> I haven't touched any later standards after 77; is Fortran still technically not Turing complete? Fortran has been Turing complete since its inception in 1957 :).

Yeah, we joked about it on their launch day, "welp, there goes our SEO!" :) Probably not a big deal as we're in a quite narrow niche.

At peak capacity, bare metal pays off soon. Even when they run at near 100% of CPUs, weather models never run 24/7 but only fraction of the time. Examples: A national weather service (any country) may run at 20-50% capacity. In a resea
