The second buy can even be the nice one. If you’re unsure how much use the tool will get, buy cheap then upgrade after it breaks.

It’s a sequence of numbers where the next number is a fixed multiple of the previous one.

1 2 4 8 16 32 … Is a sequence with a ratio of 2.

96 48 24 12 6 3 … Is the sequence from the question with a ratio of 1/2. You see that elements 2 and 4 (counting from zero) sum to 30 and elements 3 and 5 sum to 15.

In general, the sequence can be expressed as a_k = c r^k for some starting value c and the ratio r.

Your daily weather forecast likely runs on FORTRAN. It’s quite terrible code in many places because the people writing it are not software engineers but meteorologists, mathematicians, or physicists with little to no formal training in software design writing a million-line behemoth.

And FORTRAN adds to the suck because it is superbly verbose, lacks generics, has a few really bad language design decisions carried over from the 60’s, and a thoroughly half-assed object model tacked on. As a cherry on top, the compilers are terrible because nobody uses the language anymore – especially the more recent features (2003 and later).

I’m surprised something like that hasn’t already happened.
