2026-02-28T11:22:02.203997+00:00	y5nw@MT_TWI	1F616EMO: helpful if you want to write reports

2026-02-28T11:33:26.651080+00:00	1F616EMO@MT_TWI	It's just unaceptable to use Word for math-heavy tasks
2026-02-28T11:33:55.834004+00:00	Maverick2797@MT_TWI	similar thought: Excel is not a database
2026-02-28T11:34:03.515212+00:00	1F616EMO@MT_TWI	My teachers mentioned that her subscription to some sort of math rendering service was problematic and she was then impossible to fix some problems perperly on the test papers

2026-02-28T11:35:43.569259+00:00	1F616EMO@MT_TWI	the API hit its limit and started 429'ing

2026-02-28T11:37:57.610560+00:00	Maverick2797@MT_TWI	I'm in a similar situation at work: one client wants us to keep track of asset serial numbers along with other data attached to said asset... we have a system of spreadsheets because "you can open Excel sheets on any computer"
2026-02-28T11:38:27.345315+00:00	y5nw@MT_TWI	e.g. the statistics exam I had mostly involved sums (for discrete probabilities) and integrals (for continuous ones)
