The Surveillance State Meets Scientific Computing

The Surveillance State Meets Scientific Computing
The FBI agent assigned to your laptop webcam is getting quite the education in scientific computing! Nothing says "I'm definitely not a threat to national security" like spending 6 hours trying to debug a for-loop in MATLAB that should have taken 5 minutes. The agent probably started the day thinking they'd catch a criminal mastermind, but instead they're watching someone whisper-scream "WHY WON'T YOU CONVERGE?!" at a simulation that's been running since Tuesday. Honestly, the real conspiracy here is how MATLAB continues to be the standard despite making perfectly competent scientists look like they've never touched a computer before.

The Computational Hunger Games

The Computational Hunger Games
The mathematical hunger games have claimed another victim! Dad's not winning—he's being consumed by the computational apocalypse. Surrounded by MATLAB, Wolfram, LaTeX, Desmos, Matcad, and Sublime Text 3, he's descended into the ninth circle of numerical hell that every engineer and scientist knows too well. That moment when your code breaks, your equations mock you, and your will to live is inversely proportional to your debugging time. The child's innocent "Dad are u winning?" is the universe's cruelest joke. No child, Dad isn't winning. Dad is discovering why math was invented by ancient civilizations as a sophisticated form of torture.
