Now, on to important human subjects research.
I made this Twitter poll to see how people in the intersection of the Twitter and OpenSees communities would like to start off the new year.
While the question is straightforward, the options are open to interpretation:
-
loadConst- don’t give me any more sh!t to do this year -
reset- I’d like to try that again -
sendSelf- send me somewhere else, perhaps far away -
wipe- I’d like to start over from square one
The poll was not designed well–sendSelf is not an actual OpenSees
command, but rather, the C++ function that implements the save command
for database and parallel processing. Likewise, the recvSelf function
implements the restore command.
In hindsight, I should have included save and restore in the poll. The
results could have been very different.
