Abracadabra... Allakhazam!

This flag has fringe on it, therefore all proceedings are null and void due to the fact that we are on land and not at sea, ipso facto, post mortem, carpe diem, and allahu akhbar.

Ha! That's wild. You can literally just buy it at the farm store in town here.

I'm sure it's far cheaper there too.

When you have separate teams that design everything and never talk to anyone else because "our design is modular and can be used anywhere that fits these x basic requirements" you never have a conversation about the overall product design and usability in context.

It is the result of shitty engineering processes that are optimizing on a small scale. It sacrifices the end product in the name of savings on a single component.

Same brainworms that will cut R&D to post a profit this quarter but completely wiped out long term competitiveness. Pretty much everything terrible about modern life is explained by rampant unregulated capitalism.

That's certainly.... An opinion.

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...

Might be. I remember them being marketed as "no return rentals"

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
