I know that sigma bonds are stronger than pi bonds. What I am confused over is the strengths of the pi and sigma bonds formed between different orbitals.
In class, our sir told us that $p\pi - p\pi$ bonds are weaker than $p\pi-d\pi$ bonds. The reasoning he gave behind this was that since the d o...
The news that MathJax CDN shutting down on April 30, 2017 was recently brought to my attention. I am testing an updated version of ChatJax which uses the alternate server given in the MathJax post. It seems to work well, but if StackExchange is going to host a local copy to use with the sites t...
We don't know yet. We are going to talk it over in our next team meeting. This is not super urgent, in that there's still to the end of the month to deal with it. Don't worry - we will make sure MathJax is still supported on the sites it is enabled on. — Oded ♦2 mins ago
@Melanie Shebel I was courious to look at your profile page, and as it led to your poster posted on twitter -- still legible at this distance / low resolution -- the "better posters" blog came into my mind. It looks like you might be interested to follow this page, too: betterposters.blogspot.de Weekly, there is one review, so traffic is not enormous.
That and babysitting 100,000+ files when a server isn't working properly!
I hope someday to know enough programming to do computational. I was thinking of doing some research work in it... like something more programming heavy.
A couple of people who came to my poster mentioned R. Mostly the questions were, "What do you program in?" And then followed by, "Have you thought about Python?"
I've been using Ruby to write scripts for research, but I want to get into some heavier stuff that Ruby is just too slow for. I noticed there are a few things written in C and C++, but there is an oddly large proportion of software used in computational chemistry that is written in FORTRAN (in wh...

including running codes in python -- the following link is a bit longer (21 min):
Your question about FORTRAN / Fortran is interesting; both the question addressed, as well as the answers provided.
It is true, some software will remain "alive" as long as there are (still) people around who know not only about the algorithms, but their implementation in this very language.
In terms of single crystal diffraction analysis, just to mention George Sheldrick's Shelx suite -- even if Bruker backs it / commercializes it in a slightly different form.
Or Platon, an other software in this field; basicially to check for consistency and errors in the data eventually brought together about the diffraction experiment, the *.cif file -- even more troublesome, as there is only Tom Speck who knows the software this well and maintains it.
So it is indeed a valid point to watch out for a language that is "widely spoken" today, with a good chance to be alive in the years to come.
