In keeping with the discussion here a few days ago, this article demonstrates exactly my point about developer types not being the target for computational codes. Their interpolation routine looks extremely verbose already, I cannot imagine

For the aid of the unfamiliar and those unwilling to just google (I often am one of these in other discussions), a number of functions in fortran that operate on array types are built-in to the language and do not require linking in, these

Fortran is nowadays a DSL for computational codes. If you don't know why you would or could use it, you're not the target audience for it. Calling it a DSL is a bit rich given the history of computing but at least that way at leas

Yeah, this isn't the case for any codes written since may be the 00s or even the late 90s, although I admit I haven't worked on a code that old recently.

I did a cursory scan and some of these seem not my cup of tea, but honestly ogpf looks rather pleasant for quick plots. Thanks! I might use this. That said, the point of these being external libraries and thus making them a bit less conveni

May be you learned all of these extremely recently before for decades I would definitely say C++ error messages were far worse than anything a fortran compiler has ever barked at me for. The bad days are definitely over but I still think

Saying fortran is not legible is not an argument that holds water against fortran 90. I don't want to be uncharitable but I don't know how anyone can have this opinion unless they just don't have much familiarity with it.

So, the OP is an actual educator whereas I've only really advised grad students or undergrads. I'm surprised being exposed to any new language doesn't come with it's "whys" for students. Like why should we care

I know this is made to be an analogy with America, but people there still think much about politics at least at this moment, despite the recent chaos slowly becoming expected and mundane. I think the point of the passage is not to allow thi

While reading about history can always be enlightening, I sure hope you aren't looking to a book to inform you on what is right or wrong and what your behaviour should be.

Tax payers are not going to be helped by cutting a mere 1B in science funding.

The rest of the world gets to benefit from the american brain drain, already in progress. The US is essentially going to turn into a similar shape as russia, a country with nukes but a shadow of its former prestige and soft power.

I've related this story here before. I was a first year in physics grad school, and my professor told me he heard rumours of students telling each other memorising formulae was a waste of time, and that as a physicist one should just b

I remember trying to get this to work in 2008 or 2009 or something and still failing. I'm amazed the website is still up.

You're not alone, I feel the same way. I think the future if linux really will need to remove nommu would be a fork. I'm not sure if there's the community for that though.l

As someone who sort of needs to juice all my ram, this is annoying but at least it can be turned off.

So this definitely sounds salacious and could be believable, but is this a reputable source? It's supposedly an IT consultant's website, a strange place for a news article of this kind to appear...

Having seen the posts about the new IO interface, I decided to steer clear from Zig. Looks like that fortuitious instinct was proven valid as this looks more and more like the verbosity from pre C++11 for different reasons but with a simila

Some places essentially attempted ride-hail as public transport and just like all car based services, they're far worse in terms of capacity and cost and so they essentially siphon money away from already proven modes like buses and tr

And just three weeks ago I was suggesting a crash might hurt bad when this very meta announced 250 million dollar salary packages.

Characteristic of the time. Anything that benefits some fraction of the population that isn't wealthy is woke and is thus doubleplusungood. Thusly, organizations are forced to derive their revenue from catering to the small fraction of

They have a lot of money left over from all the layoffs to pay the remaining ones well enough, and the coming crash has yet to materialise, some would think.

This seems to square with a lot of the articles talking about so-called LLM-psychosis. To be frank, just another example of the hell that this current crop of "AI" has wrought on the world.

This is a pro for a lot of the people whom AI people are targeting: idiots with money.

May be this is a bit of anachronism but this poem does not read as being anti-bicycle more so than it having hubris and lack of experience with new fangled thing (bicycle).

I'm not in America anymore. But my general feeling jn America would be a sense of dread at being left behind.
