| 00:00 - 00:03 | Mein Führer... I'm afraid I have bad news from the department. |
| 00:03 - 00:07 | The professor just posted the final project requirements... |
| 00:07 - 00:11 | and it's not what we had hoped. |
| 00:12 - 00:15 | Students must use IRAF and DS9 to complete the data reductions. |
| 00:17 - 00:21 | Steiner's group is already done, aren't they? They used AstroPy. |
| 00:24 - 00:28 | Mein Führer... Steiner... |
| 00:30 - 00:33 | Steiner's group did use Astropy. |
| 00:34 - 00:36 | But our reductions must be done using IRAF. |
| 00:53 - 00:55 | Everyone who is in a different major... |
| 00:55 - 00:57 | and gets to use modern software... |
| 00:58 - 00:59 | ...get out. |
| 01:13 - 01:14 | IRAF?! IN 2025?! |
| 01:15 - 01:18 | ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! |
| 01:18 - 01:23 | I spent three days just trying to install it! |
| 01:24 - 01:27 | It runs in a 32-bit terminal emulator that looks like it's from 1995. |
| 01:28 - 01:33 | I've spent more time editing .cl files than I have on the actual observations! |
| 01:33 - 01:40 | Steiner's group is plotting their color-magnitude diagram right now! With Matplotlib! |
| 01:40 - 01:42 | Mein Führer, the TA said... |
| 01:42 - 01:46 | THE TA IS 24! HE'S NEVER USED THIS IN HIS LIFE! |
| 01:46 - 01:48 | Mein Führer, IRAF forces us to learn the proccess in-depth. |
| 01:48 - 01:51 | He just googles our error messages and tells us to "check the parameter files"! |
| 01:52 - 01:54 | "PARAMETER FILE"?! |
| 01:55 - 01:57 | Why can't I just pass an argument to a function?! |
| 01:57 - 01:59 | "Segmentation fault (core dumped)." |
| 01:59 - 02:03 | "Task imcombine is not in the loaded package." |
| 02:04 - 02:08 | I'D RATHER DO THE PHOTOMETRY BY HAND! ON THE PRINTED FITS IMAGES! |
| 02:08 - 02:12 | This is a betrayal! All those computational physics courses... |
| 02:12 - 02:13 | ... all that Python I learned... |
| 02:14 - 02:17 | ...FOR NOTHING! |
| 02:17 - 02:19 | My grade is finished. |
| 02:19 - 02:22 | My GPA... my honors... all gone. |
| 02:26 - 02:29 | They promised me a degree in astrophysics. |
| 02:30 - 02:34 | They're giving me a degree in academic archaeology. |
| 02:34 - 02:36 | And don't even get me started on DS9! |
| 02:41 - 02:42 | I try to do *one* simple aperture photometry measurement... |
| 02:43 - 02:45 | ...and I accidentally click the wrong pixel and the whole program crashes! |
| 02:46 - 02:47 | The documentation! It was written on a typewriter! |
| 02:48 - 02:53 | It's a PDF of a scanned book from 1986! |
| 02:54 - 02:56 | I can't even copy-paste the commands from it! |
| 02:56 - 02:59 | All of my friends in Comp Sci are building neural networks... |
| 03:00 - 03:02 | ...and I'm stuck here trying to remember how to close a plot window! |
| 03:04 - 03:07 | Its okay Ana, I'm sure he will figure out IRAF and get an A+. |
| 03:14 - 03:16 | It's hopeless. The project is due on Friday. |
| 03:19 - 03:23 | I haven't even combined the flats yet. |
| 03:25 - 03:27 | Im cooked. |
| 03:31 - 03:33 | Just... just go. Leave me alone. |
| 03:40 - 03:42 | I have to go... |
| 03:42 - 03:49 | I have to go find my standard stars in the catalog while I study for 2 midterms... |
| 03:53 - 03:55 | Goodluck to you all. |
