    Oh yeah? I have looked and looked for it but been unable to find any reference to how to do so. Would you mind linking a resource to me? edit: Nevermind I found a few. When I looke…

    I don't disagree. Fortran is brilliant at what it does.... but I find many of its object oriented features to be very obtuse compared to C and C++. The way it uses pointers drives …

    I don't and I suspect a lot of other people don't either.

    I find the requirement for an active Github account to be questionable. 99% of the code I write is owned my someone else. I do after all work for a living. I wonder how true this i…

    After reading the solution presented, what strikes me is that there is very little new math in it. Before you jump down my throat let me explain as this is quite an impressive effo…

    Honestly I feel like this is an even bigger problem in the natural sciences. In my experience journals want strong and interesting positive results. They rarely want negative resul…

    I am not entirely sure what is new here. I knowpeople that have been doing this for years. The Channel GREENPOWERSCIENCE has done many videos on exactly this.

    I agree with you in as far as it makes a great multiplayer element. In the vs the computer game it is a bit of a crapshoot though. Working with different world leaders is not somet…

    It is interesting to hear them talk about the game getting complex. I think in the latest version they hit that wall with the world government. It is probably one of the most unfun…

    You are probably one of the few. But I wouldn't buy too much into the argument that their rates have to go up. Internet speeds are higher and congestion are lower in many other cou…

    I am almost certain it wasn't included for some reason like that. I also suspect that they were using an outmoded version of fortran. Clicking the extra links would tend to validat…

    That is if we accept the assumption that this was well written modern fortran code. Since they don't actually show the fortran it is hard to say. I looked through the referenced po…

    The xml files can be huge, but wavefunction files in general tend to be. The main point being that it allows for direct access to the files for custom code work. I can quantify a l…

    I actually use Quantum Espresso rather extensively in my own research. It should work quite well with an interface like this. It has a sub-program pp.x specifically designed to mak…

    I wonder how much patent licencing adds to the cost. The author mentioned how wonderful of an idea this bimetallic strip was, but that means someone invented it and someone probabl…
