ellarienI was on the verge of posting a plaint about my failure (after a solid 24 hours of fumbling around downloading and building things) to compile and link on my laptop the inversion code I use all the time at work. (I've been saying for years that in the current state of computing the thing, which fifteen years ago I had to run on remote supercomputers, should now be doable on a laptop, but considerations of libraries have so far obstructed my actually doing it.)
And then I tried one more thing, and I have an executable!
Whether it will actually execute, let alone give sensible answers, remains to be seen (and probably not tonight), but it exists.
Things done while waiting for compilers to bootstrap: I have obtained a stopgap pair of sandals, booked my next ride to the airport, and run the dishwasher without getting water on the floor.
(ETA: it ran. And gave sensible numbers, as far as I can tell by eye.)
