Me, being scolded for using ipynb apps to deliver rapid feature turnaround to customers, generating a million dollars in revenue:

Our finance department, tracking that revenue in a 700MB excel spreadsheet which is version controlled by a 13 year old email thread:

Customer wants a database, but has the MBA learning disability? Yes, literally the primary use of excel. Microsoft would go bankrupt without MBA brain rot.

Socsa,

It’s not even a good analytics tool. If you submit an academic paper with excel plots in it, I’ll reject that shit without reading it and type “lmaoooooooo…” To the review character limit.

My 12 year old child knows how to use matplotlib and he thinks Santa can fit down a chimney.

Socsa,

It depends on the scale. I’ll agree that excel is a great tool for household finances.

Socsa,

Without any additional parentheses, the division sign is assumed to separate numerators and denominators within a complete expression, in which case you would reduce each separately. It’s very, very marginally ambiguous at best.

Socsa,

Yes, but do they typically die by being impaled through 8 layers of clothing by a mysteriously missing weapon, or having their faces bashed in?

The article equivocates a bit, but suspecting foul play based on the state of the bodies is not unreasonable IMO. The only real thing missing was a viable motive. Reading between the lines, it almost sounds like someone hallucinating from altitude sickness could have decided to “put them out of misery,” fearing that they’d be accused of cowardice for abandoning them on the mountain to freeze to death? Idk, either way it’s a super interesting read.
