most of you have a scientific background, I guess, and many of you keep or shall keep their promotional certificates in their hands. The mine is now close to forty years old. I can’t say, I made much of it, neither scientifically nor monetary.
After retirement from work – back to the roots – I wanted to do some Linear Algebra, MATLAB sucked, Scala was too restricted for me. So I joined your sparkling community some years ago. I had a delightful experience!
This is not my R.I.P. (yet), but, after an urgent spinal operation I feel a swinging in my life’s orbit that could decline me. So, if my engagement here seems to shrink, it is because of the movement of focus, maybe
heading charity, climate, world peace, humanitarian… (should set up one of Chris’s wonderful solvers for that!).
The nurse who had cared for me, a nice going-to-be medical student who guided my wife and me to the exit gate of the hospital was named - believe it or not -

Best wishes and a speedy recovery, @klacru . I somehow resonate with the time elapsed since I’ve got my promo certificate and what I’ve done so far.
Long live Julia
Heh, I have uploaded Solar observation program from a punch tape to a HP2100 system at Metsähovi Radio Observatory in the early 80’s. You could edit the program by replacing a sequence with a hand punched piece of tape. Yes, been there, done that :-D. In fact I still have a 16 kW core memory board of that thing.
