Excel (and other Microsoft Office) memes

Then there’s the fixed length .csv file abomination.

fwiw, the data I’m grabbing from CDC WONDER is tab-delimited, which is fine by me. (extension on the file – .txt)

But if I see .csv, I’m kind of going to be expecting commas.

Fixed width fields… ugh.

I mean, I get it, but that’s for .txt

Yeah but charts are so much less painful now. Remember the graph paper!? Solving equations via the graphing method!?

Funny how that doesn’t come up too much now.

Also, I always just solved the equation symbolically and pretended I solved on the graph

Sounds like an immaterial violation of Precept 1 to me

I often solved the math in my head and then had to pretend I did “all the steps” to solve it.

Kind of tedious, if you ask me.
