I startled my dogs laughing at that last bit.
Last time I dealt with Matlab much was like fifteen years ago when I was helping some people using it for quick interpretation of data. We just kept finding bugs that caused calculation errors (which they fixed pretty quickly TBF) and it was so much slower than any other general programming language we tried. It could be way better now, I wouldn’t know, I haven’t had call to use it since… A circuit simulation class?
In all reality it’s fine for what it does, just like every other language. It’s another tool in the box that’s most useful for a certain set of problems.
Matlab shouldn’t, in my opinion, be used to construct a GUI, or generally be used for any sort of production code. Perfectly fine as a research tool though.
But I digress, my overall point is a meaningless semantic joke. The only people who will get bent out of shape about splitting hairs between “scripting” and “programming” are all people who belong in this community.
TigerDirect eventually acquired the rights for the Circuit City name, years after the stores closed. They were great for awhile, it was just weird that they tried to revive the brand.
I bought my first PC parts at CompUSA, which… I don’t think I’ve seen for a very long time lol. Definitely used TigerDirect when I was in college though.
Oh it shouldn’t, seeing as how it’s a scripting language and not actually for programming lol
Unregulated capitalism destroys everything it touches, including itself.
Oh that was wild too, those color changing DVDs.
Just pull the trigger, we both know how this ends.
Ooh! Ooh! Who are the three most communist friendly Lemmy instances and do they want to be friends?
Well shit.
A hot bath being wasteful because you have to heat water and need a sewer is ridiculous.
Solar water heaters are a thing and grey water reuse is also a thing.
You don’t even need electricity to have a private bath.
In addition, prior to the modern era regular bathing was often a privilege of the elite, not to mention the hygiene concerns of a giant bowl of people soup.
Bathhouses still exist in the form of steam rooms and the like, and you could make an argument about the inefficiency of personal hot tubs, but those are more specific examples of “bathing” as a recreational activity and not a hygienic one.
That parrot is no more! It has ceased to be! It is an ex-parrot!
Clearly witchcraft. Spells to make the kids gay. Definitely not a decorative method of adding texture.
If a state doesn’t give a crap about its citizens, doesn’t defend its citizens from other states, what’s the point of a state at all?
Teen Vogue really on some shit lately.
Between them and Rolling Stone the last few years…
“Well guys, looks like the grey lady is doing a 1935 again, so Jackson, I’m gonna need you to pivot from writing relationship quizzes to the child labor beat. Ada, Frank, can you handle best makeup tutorials and genocide? Allison, I know you’re on concert reviews, how would you feel about also picking up the investigation on coal coke emissions?”
Fucking good on them, I’m sure that there have always been people doing good work at these publications, but it seems like they’ve had to really expand their purview recently to cover these giant gaps.
Aka: the harbor freight method. I’m a big proponent of this one.
Above everything, lack of curiosity. If someone is uncurious, it’s a big red flag to me.
Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?!?!
St-st-st-stochastic terrorism!
There’s always something at least a little off about anybody who earns a PhD.
I’ve met a lot of them, and some of them are good at hiding it, but it’s always something…
