bonus for anyone who's interested enough, another comment i wrote there, purely about the coding part (will be split in multiple in here because too long) :
20:05 ...are you serious? are you just showing "how easy it is to get weird results", using the precisely the single worst feature of VBA, precisely the only language in existence that includes this feature, which is literally a feature of *"ignore errors and continue as if everything's fine"*?
OF-FUCKIN-COURSE THAT IF YOU EXPLICITLY TELL THE ENVIRONMENT IT SHOULD PRETEND NO ERRORS HAPPENED, AND IT SHOULD JUST CONTINUE, YOU WILL GET SHIT RESULTS WHEN ERRORS HAPPEN AND THE ENVIRONMENT IGNORES THEM AND JUST CONTINUES EXECUTING AND THEN OF COURSE YOU GET SHITTY RESULTS!
(...yeahokay, JS and PHP kinda have this feature too, and worse, in them, it's default that can't be turned off. that's why they're also utter shit.)
(1 of 2 or 3) -
are you fuckin serious.
(this comment written by a professional programmer of 15 years, having worked in php, js, java, c, c++, python and c#, all of them in the context of "mere" enterprise software used by dozens of companies and countries around the world. most of those codebases are about AT LEAST 2:1 ratio of checking for errors and handling them, to the actual logic)
you're just as bad as the "i want to believe" UFO nuts, except on the other side. using whatever nonsense bullshit to "prove" that "it is impossible for this weirdness to be actual weirdness that we don't yet understand".)

i hope you'll stop wasting everyone's, and mainly, YOURS time with the stuff you have little experience with or knowledge of, and instead focus on the stuff you're actual professional in.
please, just do videos about stuff you're good at, and have no bias towards. stop trying to make a point about actual programing stuff with your script kiddie cobbled-together physicist scripts in the kiddie scripting languages that you're using because they were simple enough to learn and just barely powerful enough to do what you needed them to do for your physics. that's not programming, that's physicists slapping together whatever disgusting buggy mess that worksn "just well enough" to spit out some useful results within the range of conditions that your experiment is designed to stay within. your "demonstration" demonstrates nothing except your gross misunderstanding of what actual serious programming is. -
@electrineer then i am overestimating even this community in expecting it to be autistic enough to have the ability to say it as straightforwardly as you did?
1. i'm drunk.
2. please do me a sanity check

this video, at this timestamp, watch the following about 5 minutes or so:

4. tell me (and possibly him in comment) if i'm wrong in the (point) of the following comment i wrote under that video:
20:53 ARE YOU FUCKIN KIDDING ME YOU ABSOLUTE MORON?!
yes, US has an altitude software written in fuckin VBA with an explicit statement to ignore errors, and there's not about 10x more automated testing code for a critical piece of functionality, than there is of the code that handles the actual functionality, and it's not been tested off-line (in simulated environment) as well as on-line (IRL) for at least years in all conditions, before it was deployed, YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING MORON.
CAN YOU JUST PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT'S HOLY STICK TO WHAT YOU ACTUALLY PROPERLY UNDERSTAND?!
HOLY FUCK THE LEVEL OF ARROGANCE IN YOU IN ASSUMING THAT JUST BECAUSE YOU KNOW VBA YOU KNOW HOW PROPER SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT IS DONE, HOLY FUCKING SHIT.
I've worked in companies of 1k employees and less, on absolutely non-critical stuff, that has DevOps and QA processes and infrastructure that would make your script kiddie head spin for WEEKS, LET ALONE FUCKIN MILITARY SW DRIVING MILITARY EQUIPMENT YOU ARROGANT KNOWITALL FUCK.
Please, just please, FOCUS ON FUCKING DOING VIDEOS ABOUT STUFF YOU FUCKING UNDERSTAND, instead of stuff your ego overinflated from years of debunking dunning-krugers tells you that you're an expert in despite never actually having worked even near those fields. PLEASE. You are amazing when doing those, but this bullshit is just fucking rage-inducing. Don't ever talk about software again, because that's obviously YOUR dunning-kruger area, you fuckin bigheaded script kiddie.
