@bobthechemist No problem. I would have closed too if I couldn't reproduce it and saw others couldn't either. I just wonder about the close votes that came in after Yves and I reported we could reproduce it ( and I explicitly asked not to close).
There are some fantastically detailed answers in this forum; I wonder if folks are using Mathematica's notebooks to do the heavy lifting and then exporting as markdown for StackExchange. Going the other way would be pretty darn convenient as well.
Compile is troublesome. There exists many strange behaviors of Compile that can't be reasoned with any universal rules but being unclear if they're bugs, for example, this one. They're frustrating. They're not mentioned in the document. They're hard to notice by oneself. Should we start a collect...
hello everyone. what do I have to do if I want to keep only the "g1, g2..." line in this, but put it in the place where the line "a b a b..." is? BoxWhiskerChart[RandomVariate[NormalDistribution[], {4, 2, 100}], ChartLabels -> {{"g1", "g2", "g3", "g4"}, {"a", "b"}}]
Does anyone have an idea why NSolve removes the Solve::ratnz error here but not here? Additionally, should the second one be marked as a duplicate of the first?
It's one of the things businesses do, I suppose. I like to think that the increasing freedom of information on the internet will gradually make marketing less of a priority.
We can hope, but honestly marketing affects us in so many ways unconsciously. For example, there are a billion different brands of cola. Marketing is everything to those brands, and freedom of information will not change that.
Freedom of information could change that. If the Wikipedia article for soda drinks had a very clear visualization and explanation of the recipe differences between the different brands many people would probably enjoy reading and using that information to enhance their ability to distinguish between the brands. However, that information is protected as trade secrets, so it is information that is legally kept unfree.
@MichaelHale On the contrary I have read that people's opinions on such things do not change the more they know. If you do blind tests and you tell people "this is Coca cola" Coca cola people will say they liked that more than Pepsi even if it is in fact Pepsi they tasted. Let's say the researchers also told the participants about the difference in recipe, I still don't think that would make any difference.
