A bit off topic tidbit:<p>Early Matlab version(s) had an interesting Easter egg. Once when frustrated with the learning on the REPL, I typed "fuck you" and the console spit out "your place or mine?" instead of an error that I was so used to.
I really hope that's listed in chronological order, because otherwise he's throwing serious shade at the Royal Society.<p>Edit: I checked it out- Matlab has been around since 1984, and Prof Trefethen was made FRS in 2005. Safe.
