Yes, it's good to know  .. and the comment on their page adds some reasonable explanation:
"... Less than half a year ago, the new ISO Fortran 2023 definition was published. ... Fortran appears to be fast, having native mathematical computation support, mature, and free of charge. Silently, slowly but surely, Fortran gains ground. It is surprising but undeniable. ..."
So, it's time to find my Fortran FFT code which I used back then ...

From what I've heard, its the NAG, the UK-based Numerical Algorithms Group, which has mainly been responsible for the continued usage of Fortran.

I would guess it has to do with supercomputers in large part. Fortran has been used with them for decades and still is. Nvidia has support for CUDA in Fortran and that makes it possible to adapt code to run on GPUs which almost every modern supercomputer has these days.

That's possible indeed ... Perhaps surprisingly, there is a lot of up-to-date information, for example Fortran - Wikipedia, it makes me also think about possible use in LLM training ...

Microsoft...please fix this. Is anyone else seeing this behavior?
I'm using the "new" Outlook client that is now bundled nowadays with a default Windows 10 installation. It's much better than the previous generic email client that was included, but this in particular bothers me.
The client downloads the content of my inbox. Some messages are marked as read, others as unread. I manually mark everything as read. I don't even shut down the app, I leave it running in the background all the time.
When the mailbox is refreshed, the messages that I explicitly marked as read revert back to unread. It's like it's not even relaying the fact that messages are now read back to the server, so the refresh undoes my changes.
THIS IS ONLY FOR GMAIL ACCOUNTS. I'm also using the same client to fetch accounts from hotmail.com, outlook.com, yahoo.com, and those all work correctly. Only the Gmail accounts exhibit this behavior.
Has anyone else seen this?
[Edit]
I suspect if I go to the actual gmail site and mark the unread items as read, the local account might fix itself (I haven't tried it yet), but the whole point of having a client that can manage multiple mailboxes is to avoid using the web interface (yuck!).
[Edit 2]
WTH...if I shut down the app and reload it, it now remembers I've changed messages from unread to read. So, it doesn't bother persisting that until you shut down, and refreshing the mailbox takes precedence over what the client is tracking...?

On a related note... aren't you the same guy who only uses one browser so only one company is tracking you? I hate to be the bearer of bad news...

You can gather a lot more by snooping on the browser than just by snooping on email.
Besides, I only have a gmail account because for all intents and purposes, you can't setup an Android phone without one[*].
And no, I don't browse on my phone. I keep as much of it as possible separate from what I do on a PC.
[*] I miss my Windows phone.

I solved this with... Mozilla Thunderbird Mail client: Thunderbird — Free Your Inbox. — Thunderbird[^]
It really does work very nice. I know that the outlook client is "right there" inside win10 and I got trapped by it for a while too. However, I finally just went ahead and installed Thunderbird and was much happier. Very easy to setup and I have something like 7 or 8 email boxes (with various domains) and they are all managed very nicely.
Check out this video I made of an issue[^] where the cursor in Outlook client is an I-bar even when it is over the scrollbar. I'm not sure if MS ever fixed it.
