Yes you can open a spreadsheet from any language and it'll show function names in your language. I wanna say that older versions had trouble with this, but that was probably in the 00s.

I have some experience untangling legacy systems with tons of moving parts, but none came close to even moderately complex spreadsheets. YES!!!! And it's absolutely impossible to tell Excel that you want to use English formulas if your organization bought a different language version, which makes it a nightmare if your company is multi-national.

You haven't lived until you've had to reverse engineer Perl scripts written in the 90s.  But yeah I definitely share your Dim view of excel macros

Cobol intention: a simple programming space with English inspired syntax that could be audited by bureaucrats and accountants doing functional validation Cobol reality: to avoid a half page of plodding conditional statements a twist in the syntax is used to condense it to two lines. The last guy who understood why it works retired in 1979 and nobody can really tie it to any known specification but if you comment it out the loan officers terminal starts converting everything to East German Marks.

On the flip side, if you happened to code the thing, or even to understand half of it, you are basically set for life, with presumably fun salary negotiations. I worked somewhere where only the top brass and the cobol guy got to have private offices, while everyone else were in open spaces, for some reason.

ikanreed posted:Not like I know for a fact a major bank tens of millions customers still has Cobol on a mainframe running underneath its online banking front end Cobol, that's common as dirt. My own job involves maintaining a legacy system in a rather more obscure language, but even that is actually still supported. I know there are other programmers whose jobs are about tending legacy systems that won't run on any hardware that exists these days, so most of the actual work is in writing and maintaining emulation software for long-dead platforms.

Spoeank posted:Chile, please advise It's a per 1m people chart and Chile's population is relatively small (17 mil vs. Brazil's 210 mil) so if they got hit particularly hard they'd spike high pretty quickly just because each individual infection represents a larger proportion of their population.

Oh I know, the chart is very funny since it spikes hard and dips just as drastically, obviously the function of a small subpopulation getting infected and recovering

Now add San Marino and watch it bounce like crazy as like 5 people get infected and recover.

It's too bad Vatican City isn't included in various OECD stats just for the fun outliers. Like what's the average age of its citizens?

How does this even happen though? It's not like anyone is pushing an agenda here, and pretty much any software that generates a chart also automatically handles labelling. e: Actually that looks sloppy all over the place, like someone put together some shapes and text boxes in powerpoint.
