No. For several reasons.

Fortran is older than Basic and C. In fact, Fortran is more or less the first high level programming language. The first Fortran compilers date to the early 1950s.

Fortran was created mainly for the purpose of linear algebra: operations with (giant) matrices. Linear algebra is used to compute approximate solutions to ordinary and partial differential equations, and this is a major part of what people needed computers for (and still do).

Programming concepts like subroutines, functions, if statements with blocks and else clauses… All of those were not in original Fortran because no one had thought of them. These things entered Fortran over time as they became popular, and goto slowly became less popular. Syntax from the punch card era was replaced in Fortran 90, but it is still available as an option for compatibility purposes.

Structurally, I prefer to describe Fortran as like C, but with better built-in arrays, and no built-in general purpose pointers. Not having the pointers allows the compiler to do certain optimizations that C can’t. But C is the better systems language, because the pointers let you naturally express all kinds of data structures besides arrays.

I do like me some salami on toast.

Medical device programmers:

Ah, yeah okay. I forgot that Valve the privately held company doesn’t have to break out any numbers.

Did steam deck sales actually drop, as in the number of sold units went down? Or did the Steam Deck’s relative ranking on some leaderboard drop to a lower ranking?

Also, on Gentoo Linux, there will be an ebuild that integrates all of the cmake options into the rest of the packaging system and manage the dependencies

I preferred the Facebook group “If 2,147,483,648 people join this group, then an integer overflow may occur” back in the day.

So what you really need in life is 5 monies. Got it.

Like any other convention, it’s not really a big deal either way. Fortran gets along just fine with 1-indexing.

It’s not clear if they properly matched the Reynolds numbers and other similarity parameters to properly make this comparison.

Really I worked a project once that just had post-its stuck to the wall. It worked as well as Jira does.

Why not just have the app dynamically generate the static with random numbers every time. There is no video file of white noise, and bonus the bumper intro is never exactly the same twice.

If wasn’t full garbage collection in the spec. It was some infrastructure support in the spec that would make it easier to write garbage collectors in C++.

Those SSTs constantly blow out every window in the city. Seriously, there’s a reason this picture never came to fruition. And it’s because the FAA did a 6-month study of sonic booms in Oklahoma City, and that study was cut off after only a few weeks after citizens angrily called their representatives.

Skip aero. Let’s go back to compiz fusion and deskcubes.

There’s also D. You could just upgrade to D.

When Fortran was created, each line was a separate punched card. The syntax made sense for that medium.

C was setup from the start for use on teletypes with fancy line editors like ed.

If only there was some way to regulate corporations.

It’s called the Sherman Antitrust Act, and it’s why this promise was made and why the FTC cares about it now.

When the gp’s book says that C is a third generation language: I would guess the first generation is Fortran and the second generation contains ALGOL and BCPL. C was heavily influenced by BCPL. (get it? C comes after B)

Dude, all the work is in the maps, and they generally sell them proportional to the amount of map content. There are two benefits:

1. Studio doesn’t have to staff up to do all the content at once, but they still get paid periodically for what they do produce. This keeps the staff employed longer in a more stable position.

2. You can pick and choose which areas you want to get. If you want a big bundle, those still show up on Steam too at various levels of discount. But you’re not locked into having to deal with Ohio too.
