Maybe outside of what I do, other languages are better. If there was another language that was linked to excel, it would probably be what I would use. For now, I've written some pretty nifty spreadsheets with VBA to avoid purchasing post tension programs and programs like enercalc. I love the fact that I don't have to program GUI's to go with it as the excel sheet already functions as my GUI. I don't understand where you can go wrong there, other than not having the feeling of superiority for learning fortran or python, VB actually does excellent work. If I had lots of shiny graphics, I'd try to learn the C languages again but oh well. VB ftw.

Forgot to mention that I'm super peeved about every conceivable program under the sun going subscription based. What happened to the days when you bought something you owned it?

I typically used Python with Excel, there's a couple ways/addons to make them play nice with each-other (Datanitro [may be discontinued], and others).

Let’s play Mafia, "Roarbark-Can't-Possibly-Be-Mafia-This-Time" Edition!

Rules:
There are townsfolk, and Mafia members. Townsfolk are try to eliminate the Mafia before the Mafia eliminates them. The game ends when either all of the Mafia is eliminated (town wins), or there are fewer townsfolk than Mafia members (Mafia wins).

The Mafia members are going to privately tell me who they would like to eliminate during the night. I will reveal to everyone what happened the next morning.

During the day, everybody (townsfolk and Mafia) will publicly vote for a person to eliminate; I will eliminate the person with the most votes at the end of the day and reveal what their role was.

In addition to regular townsfolk and members of the Mafia, there is also a Doctor and a Cop. The Doctor can choose someone to “save” during the night; if they choose the same person the Mafia chose, then that player will escape elimination by the Mafia that night. The Cop can “investigate” players during the night.

The Mafia members know who each other are, but no one knows anyone else’s role except me. I am sending more specific instructions to the members of the Mafia, the Doctor, and the Cop. If you did not receive a PM from me, then you are a regular townsfolk.

You may use this thread to vote and post about the game. Anyone (playing or not playing, eliminated or not) can use this thread to speculate, discuss, accuse, or otherwise participate in the game; just please make sure to follow regular EB forum guidelines.

To vote on a person to eliminate, tag me (@Roarbark) and tell me specifically that 1) you are voting and 2) the username of the person you are voting to eliminate. Please submit your votes by 6:00pm Pacific Time; I will count votes after that time as being for the next day.

For Example: " @Roarbark, I'm voting for @vhab49_PE because they are a suspiciously good cop... They must have underworld connections."

I will do my best to report who was lynched at 6:00 pm PST, but on days I am in the field, I may be unable to count votes until later.
Results should be posted by 9:00 pm PST at the latest.

I will announce overnight happenings as early as I can manage. Apologies in advance for making you all wait patiently for "Pacific Ocean time".

Note that your vote only counts if you are playing and not yet eliminated. If there is a tie for most votes, I will pick one of the voted users at random. If there are no votes, I will pick a person at random (i.e. role will not matter) to eliminate; suffice it to say it’s in both groups’ best interest to vote for at least one person.

For reference, the players in this round are:

@RBHeadge PE

@tj_PE

@NikR

@ChebyshevII_PE

@ChaosMuppetPE

@vhab49_PE

@chart94

@ptatohed

If you have any questions, or you would like me to tell you which players are still standing, tag me and let me know!

The lynch mobbing will start tomorrow morning, 7/31/19!

Good luck to all of you.

Just imagine something I would say and put it there.

Exactly.

I just prefer my VBA coding in excel sheets.

You may be one of the only people I will ever meet who “prefers” VB.

Mrs Headge does everything in Excel. She uses VB without realizing it. She studied geology and never had to learn proper programming <insert stereotypical insult about geologists here>, but is a real master with spreadsheets. Sometimes its faster her way, but I often feel like she could solve things a lot easier and faster with a simple z80 program.

Seen it, but haven’t had the pleasure yet. Although some of my coworkers have.

Speaking of doing things the hard way. There's an old joke that " FORTRAN was the language of choice for the same reason that three-legged races are popular. "

It's great if all you want to do is number crunching science. Everything else... not so much. 

I've known a few programmers who know the language, but leave it off their resume because they don't want to have to work with it ever again.

It very quick for the large matrix calcs required in FEA.

Did you just assume my gender?

Seems so.

Now I’M on thin ice. Not only do I have to watch out for you, but also every Democrat everywhere...

Maybe we should move this mafia game to place with thicker ice. Or even better a place with no ice. I live in Chicago and am tired of ice in general.

I could move it to the pile.

There should not be too much ice in July in Chicago... I'm only a bit west and WE don't have any ice.  Although I did see somewhere that up in the UP someone just came upon a snow/ice pile left over from winter.

No ice right now. It actually very nice out today. But that does not mean I am not tired from the six months of ice we have every year. 

UP is crazy. I remember going to lake superior in Aug, and the water was still freezing.

There is some serious truth right there.  Although this year we traded ice for rain and flooding, then high heat.    Right now it is apparently 75, which is right about my sweet spot.  Hmm, suddenly feeling a little under the weather....  might need to take a sick day.
