It's loving hilarious watching US carriers apply local logic to EU flight scheduling and paying out the rear end when it inevitably blows in their faces. This is also applicable to Asia a Delta put us in a Tokyo Disney hotel for a weather cancellation once.

Makes sense, if FORTRAN is good for anything, it's the vast library of finely tuned math, engineering, and scientific libraries available. If some genius hand-optimized some thermodynamics modules twenty years ago, it's going to take a lot to get people to switch. Python is catching up though, our Computational Biology people at work write a ton of python code. Protein folding is passe though, we have a lab that freezes protein samples, takes a spherical array of images with a scanning electron microscope, and an AI turns those into 3D models.;

Or maybe some game-of-thrones type of chair, with prop blades instead of swords. The ad looks stupid but I have to admit I don't know a more affordable way of getting s busted propeller.

Well, if you’re talking about old enough FORTRAN it doesn’t even have if statements.

Arson Daily posted:I have no idea what that means IF statements are one of the fundamental building blocks of modern programming. FORTRAN predates them. That said, it's blazing fast at the stuff it's good at (it stands for FORmula TRANslating) and there's almost sixty years of knowledge to draw on if you're doing heavy scientific math with it.

Not having “IF” statements is like a car not having pedals or a steering wheel. Sure, there are other ways to operate, but they’re ubiquitous for drat good reasons. Not having them is weird and bad.
