This is seriously becoming the Official Poor Man's Twitter Thread.

Do you know what the Valencia fans are calling Raul Albiol? The rich man's Hierro

Dru, most scientists use Fortran. That was just confirmed to me.

Most scientists also have not figured out how to create a subdirectory yet.

True story. Take it from a former insider who looked at the OS logins of various top scientists in particle physics only to find tens of thousands of files collected over 8 years crammed in their home directories.

That's what you get when you don't give people proper training

Oooh, even I know that's bad. Very bad.

Exactly why I'm here. But nobody told me this yet.

I should ask my professor why he didn't tell us this yet but we're too busy working with NetCDF right now.

 

[Martin]

I'll tell you what though, you shouldn't underestimate these people. I got hired to build a thing for scientists so that it would be all nice and easy for them to do their work, it was web based. So we did it, found out noone's interested. All of them already know their way around, they don't need a dumbed down system.

 

[Bjerknes]

Martin, do you understand this?

IARGC()

 

[Martin]

No, what is it?

 

[Bjerknes]

It's an intrinsic function in Fortran. My professor just asked the class if we could find more info about it on google (don't know why he'd ask that, he already knows it all), so I just wanted to know what the f*#%! he was talking about.

 

[Martin]

Here you go:
IARGC() returns the number of arguments passed on the command line when the containing program was invoked.

This intrinsic routine is provided for backwards compatibility with GNU Fortran 77. In new code, programmers should consider the use of the COMMAND_ARGUMENT_COUNT intrinsic defined by the Fortran 2003 standard.

I honestly don't know what he was asking. He already knows all of it.

Let me check this out.

 

[Bjerknes]

Martin, you're a genius.

Now my professor and TA loves me even more.

After the show invite them out for some drinks

oh.. well scientists are all dumb anyway just for using FORTRAN

i guess its what you use it for or what industry you're in.

oh europeans, americans maybe dumb but at least we have better things to do with our time

This is such a sucky example to throw in our face for "wasting time". Next thing you'll be dissing us for discovering new fundamental particles at the LHC.

My favorite professor doesn't drink. Here you go Martin.

Now we're stuck on a Linux problem because these comps are 2004 and his at his office are 2008's. We need more bits!

Yeah, I can see why we use Fortran. Easy calcs.
