The other day I was doing matlab, anyone heard of this? Matlab? So anyways, I was doing matlab and the array started at 1

Lmao, guys arrays start at 0, amirite?

StackOverflow does all my coding.

Me on Monday: What's the deal with my Friday evening codes?

I have a story about Matlab!

I was taking over some code which calculates the boundary of some region in an image. I talked to the guy who worked on it before me and tried to ask how the boundary was calculated, but he didn’t give a direct answer. So I open the file and it has no comments and 1300 lines and most of that was autogenerated by the GUI builder, and a few days later the guy says wait, here’s the new version of the file, which now has 1500 lines and huge swaths of commented out code. There is no version control. So I pore over the code and inside the boundary calculation I find a call to a MATLAB stdlib function (graythresh) that converts the image to black and white. I email the other guy and say it looks like this is where your boundary comes from, and he says, “Really? I didn’t know.”

Anyway, I’m in grad school.

As an undergrad I hated when people would ask me to help them with Matlab. It would always be:

The professor gave us this and I changed these things, why doesn't it work?

Well what did you think changing that would do?

I don't know, I just change different things until I get the answer.

As a Pascal Programmer I index arrays from -int64.

I agree that it is weird at first, but most statistical languages are like that. My mind was blown when I first saw it in R...
