📝 New #blost - "Basic Circuit Simulations"

Getting back into the Ham Challenge groove - here’s a blog on circuit simulation software and what I’ve been using lately - both as a ham and as a student.

@BenediktEhinger

Yes, I am intrigued by #Julia as a response to the #Matlab crisis.

Can you give a good place to start? (Basic tutorial, language definition, best IDE / package management system?)

My specific targets are
(1) large vectorized computations, preferably (1a) automatically GPU'd when possible and
(2) hardware control of (2a) arduino devices (access as sending characters over a serial port is fine) and (2b) online (at speed) video processing and storage, including camera hardware signaling.

Alternatively to (2), I have considered #BonsaiRx. Really good would be having a way of linking Julia with BonsaiRx (which does video well, but not the other task-control stuff).

#Matlab seems to be mostly recovered. Anyone installed new downloads or add-ons successfully? Anyone noticed any problems?

MathWorks’ ransomware disruptions rages on into second week • The Register

#MATLAB

Die Software #Matlab ist im Informatik- und Engineering-Studium weit verbreitet. Nach einem Cyberangriff auf den Hersteller Mathworks kämpft sie mit Problemen. ETH und HSLU äussern sich zur aktuellen Situation.

#MATLAB dev confirms #ransomware attack behind service outage

#MathWorks #cybersecurity

#MATLAB in Teilen immer noch down: Seit über einer Woche hat die Programmiersprache/Berechnungsumgebung nun schon mit einem #Ransomware-Vorfall zu kämpfen - was ziemlich übel ist, weil nicht nur die Online-Anwendungen, sondern auch interne Mitarbeitersysteme betroffen waren. Und wenn man darüber nachdenkt, dass weltweit ca. 6.500 Unis das Tool nutzen, kann man sich die Auswirkungen auf die Forschung durchaus vorstellen.

#MathWorks server issues have persisted for days, affecting licensing and downloads. This highlights how dependent many academic workflows are on proprietary systems.

Consider alternatives that remain available regardless of vendor status:

🔹 Julia – built for numerical computing
🔹 Python – widely used, with strong scientific libraries

Both are open-source and resilient.

@mathworks - how is *downloads* not the first thing you restored? 🤬

All the other stuff is gravy. If you have downloads, people can install their own license servers and run matlab. How is this not the first thing fixed?

#matlab

ps. Does anyone have a link to @mathworks so we can actually talk to them?

The MathWorks outage is the perfect time to look at GNU Octave! No license servers to deal with for FLOSS! https://octave.org/

Even if it's not helpful right now during the outage, consider it for future work to avoid stoppage the next time the MathWorks hostage server goes down.

#matlab インストールできなくて困る

@GossiTheDog I don't know what web sites you are talking about? I can access my #MathWorks online #MATLAB resources just fine, for instance https://matlabacademy.mathworks.com/ or https://matlab.mathworks.com/

Finally all my hate torwards #matlab is resolved

@adredish I am also currently using #Matlab for my analyses.. I used to prefer #Python but last time I tried to install it to get some spike sorting code to run I had to admit that all the problems with incompatible versions made it almost not worth it.

The only other alternative I've seen people use would be R, and these people usually claim that it can do anything that Python (or Matlab) does, but in reality I've never seen them use it for anything else than plot graphs and do stats. So I don't know if it can really be a replacement.

I also tried Octave a long time ago, it was not as good as Matlab but maybe it has improved now? I don't know how they deal with updates and toolboxes..

So I'm also interested to see what alternatives do people use for #Neuroscience analyses!

When #matlab doesn't work, and #matlab also doesn't work.

The combination of C++ (with lots of templates) AND Matlab can't possibly be good for my sanity, blood pressure, og general health.

Anyone knows what's going on with #Matlab and #Mathworks lately? Seems a lot of their services have been down for days now.

Looks like things are going a bit poorly for #MatLab 😲

Programming challenge:
U have n items in array x each of those items has an array of m items (m has the same length for all items).

You have a final output array y of size n * m. You want to put all the values of each of ur n items into this final output array. After performing some operation on each value.

In a loop iterating though x what is the corresponding index range within output array y?

This is why indexing starts at 0 not 1. Thx #matlab for the headache
