@MattSpeller there is some user on SW who claims to have 65 years of IT experience. A moderator was calling them out for it..
It was pretty funny.
A mod actually called them out?
That would put them as having started in 1952?
-
IT is 1952...

Basically that person would have to have been using the ONE commercial computer in the US and working direclty for Grace Hopper.

Geeze. The one guy on our team is looking at compilers for our Fortran code. In the last like two years it went from $1300 to $5000.

Because they know that if you are needing a FORTRAN Compiler that isn't free, they have you by the balls and you have zero choice but to pay them.
Why are you not using the free one?

Not sure why he's looking at the Intel one. They used to use the PGI Compiler but now that it's just Intel it's ridiculous.
We could convert over to MATLAB but it would take too much time (I guess).

I believe they need the Intel Compiler for IMSL. You can't get that for free can you?
I think they used to have to source for that but it was from the 90s

At some point you put effort into converting. Why they didn't do that years ago, heaven only knows.
The big Fortran compiler that I know is...
Fortran is just part of the GCC compiler. No idea what would make any other compiler even a consideration these days.

Ya idk. I'll check tomorrow.

I was asking about the IMSL Library though. Can you get it with the free compiler?
-
According to this you can't.
That must be why.
Ya the link there is for the page we were looking at. We use it for non-linear algebra, differential equations, and some other things.
Why it wasn't ported to R or MATLAB or Python, I don't know.
-
Oh okay
-
So I emailed ZeroTier about the iOS demo but haven't heard back. Did anyone else ask about it or get the demo?
-
I have not gotten around to asking, yet.
-
So since I got my iPhone I've noticed that I'm using much more data than I did with my android. I think a lot has to do with not being able to use Chrome's data saver, but it seems like a ton more overall.

5am, should probably get to bed now,.

I'll be at work at 5AM

Setting the stage, it seems, to try to bash their decision to switch.......again

One way to make people use your junk

@johnhooks I wouldn't call it junk, just clever data-mining.
