A lot of computational heavy tasks for science were done in Fortran at least ten years ago (and I think still are). I was told that's mainly because Fortran has a good deal of libraries for just that, and it was widely taught in academia so this is a common ground between the older and newer generations.

I think it may be gradually superseded by Python, but I don't know if it is

Perhaps some forks still exist…

No, that's impossible, because they didn't allow it 😭

I think that if replies are rare and spot on, it may be a good PR. But do it every time and it will just be a waste of time without any good results

Thanks for the links, yeah, I think I thought about distinction of a lesser extent between the colloquial and official variants, at least in the West

Reminds me of how Xiaomi password protected smart kettle was only password protected in the UI. I think, it's an industry standard nowadays 🥲

TL;DR: if something not from Amazon is delivered by Amazon Spain, it's a PITA and the recipient has no control over delivery.

I recently had one delivery sub-contracted to Amazon Spain, it was a nightmare. I was not able to choose a different date (only the original delivery company could, but they didn't answer me at all), not able to choose a pick up point (for the same reason), not able to correct the address that was slightly messed up. They emailed me that the parcel is up for delivery in 10 days, and delivered it next day after the email, probably 1 and 10 are close enough.

It's a lucky thing they even called me, I was away for several more days and couldn't receive the parcel. The support said they will usually make three delivery attempts and then send back, but that they may do more or less attempts. Also they responded that I should give the seller some time to respond to my inquiry about moving delivery date, but they will continue to try to deliver and maybe fail and send back.

By the way, the original delivery company never replied at all, if I were unable to finally catch a delivery I would be out of luck. Also, the delivery window is 10 AM to 10 PM, no details, just wait and hope

I read it as 'the elevator was going for them to return them to the surface, but failed, so they stayed in the mine'. The article is a bit scarce, not sure what really happened.

Edit: another user found more details: https://lemmy.world/comment/12841678

I think the point is they either assume themselves to be right because no one argued, or because everyone who argued is brainwashed woke-zombie.

So if the result is the same, it may be wiser to skip the arguing part ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Schools do teach, and once students are out of elementary school they never write a letter of cursive again. So in effect, it could've been not taught at all.

It feels like having a "book dialect" that is only used on TV and not quite spoken by actual people is not too uncommon. At least in Japan it is such, afaik. But to some extent in China, and I think that the UK also has newscasts in more 'standard' English than actual English.

This looks like some kind of doom:

Yeah, "nobody wants to work anymore", but "we're not willing to pay for 10+ years of experience, yet we're only looking for 10+ years of experience"
