  • If you’re reliant on third party add-ons you don’t have a choice. Bloomberg and Eikon are two examples that didn’t have a good Python API back then. Even after I started to use Python more sometimes I had to script opening up Excel itself, forcing formula refresh and exporting that.

    You also need to consider that average Joe at a big financial corporation knows Excel so he uses that for everything. People that know Python are more expensive.

    Every piece of hardware in a given budget is ultimately a product of compromise. 3D capabilities of N64 are way beyond what PS can offer - texture filtering and Z buffer just put Playstation to shame. No CD is equally embarrassing to N64. The controller… well, it was a weird time.


  • Apologies, I misspoke. Yes, western social media has been banned since forever and China requires local majority stake for joint ventures.

    What I was getting at is that in March China announced they are moving from Microsoft, Intel and AMD for government PCs. I imagine US is quite angry to be losing so many backdoor vectors. US and China are trading big blows now with 100% tariffs on EVs and TT ban.
