| Jun 21, 2023 at 7:05 | comment | added | DetlevCM | @NikeDattani New codes are typically not written in Fortran except if it is code written by people who learnt nothing but. ORCA is written entirely in C++ for example. Anything that uses CUDA uses a "C-dialect". - Fortran today is mainly used in existing codes because noboyd wants to pay the price of a rewrite. | |

| May 20, 2020 at 12:06 | comment | added | DetlevCM | @taciteloquence (Long comment above.) Also: I am not talking about just parroting an existing answer (which I believe is frowned upon, especially amongst early responses) but improving/extending a comprehensive response. In addition, there tends to be an edit history on the Stackexchange network when posts get amended. | |
| May 20, 2020 at 12:04 | comment | added | DetlevCM | Do it the academic way and give credit if you take someone else's idea. That deals with the moral side and it ensures that the person inspiring the comment is credited. There is also longterm value in acknowledging an existing answer with fewer votes and improving a response with more votes which is more likely to be seen. The underlying license for a lot on the Stackexchange network is creative commons - so forward use on Stackexchange is typically possible without constraints. (Some specifics may apply in some cases, e.g. photos which might not be CC.) | |
| May 20, 2020 at 9:57 | comment | added | taciteloquence | @DetlevCM, is that okay? I don't know what the SE norms are and I don't want to be seen as plagarizing your answer. | |
| May 18, 2020 at 19:59 | comment | added | DetlevCM | @taciteloquence Why don't you add it to your answer? - Many people won't scroll over all responses.? :) | |
