Damn. Scientific code is sure as heck not clean.

In my experience scientists tend to hack together bits of code together due to either (a) realising they don't know much coding but need to get something working thus coble up up together bits of working code together or (b) think they know how to code because they took a "intro to C" class decades ago and have never had anyone tell them point blank that their code is complete crap... Academia: it's a very different world than the one everyone else lives in for some reason.

@ElForritari last sentence is the understatement of the year. What is it about people in academia that makes them the way they are??

Maybe they should have called it wtf_train.

As Dijkstra said: "In the good old days physicists repeated each other's experiments, just to be sure. Today they stick to FORTRAN, so that they can share each other's programs, bugs included."

Still true, but now probably C++.

Thunderbird on macOS? Respect....

@matchesMalone trying to have something cross plattform, you know.

@darksideplease : Well, good job. I've been meaning to ask this to a Mac owner: What is the name of the default font that one usually sees in IDEs running on macOS? I run Linux, and I'm trying to customize it to give a "macOS" feel (too poor for Mac), and I've scoured the internet for the name of that font. Is it Menlo, Monaco or something else?

@matchesMalone well first of all you should use some mac like distro. I heard something about elementary OS. The font..hmm, either you ask on this mac stackexchange or ill look later on my laptop
