I mean, I agree with you, I'd never pay for a Matlab license for myself if I ever decide to go the private engineering consultant route. Just sharing my experience that yes, it's used in the professional world.

I've had more than one job where Matlab was used extensively, guess my coworkers and I aren't real engineers.

I'd rather use something else, but if it's what the group already uses, fine, I'll do it

Also, I don't do a ton of true programming on it. It's a fancy calculator, and occasionally I make a GUI app with it

I am in fact an engineer and a nerd. Or as many of us like to call it, an enginerd

Edit: I wouldn't call Matlab my favorite though... But yes I use it. I mean, I'm on Lemmy... Like loads of users here, I like FOSS. So I'd say python is probably my favorite

I've never heard of an underride guard, so yea they're probably not required in the US. brb, off to Google it

Edit: yea they're only required on commercial trucks and vehicles, so massive semis, not personal trucks like this one

Lol tell that to the $1500 ambulance bill I got from when they drove me 3 miles in Baltimore to a hospital

Oh and the dude I knew in Baltimore that ran his own private ambulance service. Yea, they're not all funded through local gov and run by firefighters

I've literally never heard anyone call it A.P.P. (and I mean that literally literally, not figuratively literally)

Is this a specific cultural thing? A generational thing? Geography based slang? Why would anyone do this.

I just got back from a doc visit for a shoulder injury. They told me "yea sometimes muscular guys like you fool us and we miss a tear because their delts are overcompensating"

All I heard was "you're muscular", going to be riding that high for a bit. Luckily no rotator cuff tear, probably just a bad sprain, will be back to bench press soon enough

How is it worse on the battery than wired chargers? I'm guessing heat?

It's more fun when it's your own mother trying to sell her MLM holistic bullshit. No mom, I don't need your snake oil pills, I needed a therapist.
