Yes, there have been lots of discussions about this — typically referred to as "formal interfaces." This would be a 2.0 (or later) feature addition, and it's not yet certain how it would be approached. https://gith

Just yesterday the Illinois state senate overrode the governor's veto in order to mandate that all schools teach cursive before fifth grade. Major arguments I heard included "reading notes from grandma" and "preventing

Yes, these benchmarks do tend to be a lightning-rod for controversy. You have two complaints: 1. Yes, some languages do not make it easy to install and link against a well-tuned BLAS. The benchmarks were very recently updated, and you can

Yup, it's really amazing what millions of hours of development time will do! That benchmark in particular is a little deceiving — and we take those benchmarks very seriously! See this issue for more details: https://github

Honest question: did you read the post at all? Even the quick summary addresses this. Chris' whole point is that the biggest benefits of switching to Julia will be felt by the folks that are developing the packages and libraries for o

Yes, I think most folks do. He's making a distinction between programmers that are consumers of APIs vs. developers that create and maintain APIs.

The fact that it's not licensed for redistribution or even any regular use is a pretty good reason to not futz with it. https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/what-if-pre-releas... > Intel grants to y

Chris — the author of this blog post and lead developer of the DifferentialEquations.jl ecosystem — had a really nice workshop at this year's JuliaCon. You can watch it online here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75SC

Unlike bicycles, cars have significant blind spots with the A-pillar and such. Also unlike bicycles, cars are significantly more able to seriously injure other road users.

Interesting; I've also been highly discouraged from attending his class from a recent attendee. She felt he wasn't invested in actually presenting the material and it just felt like an advertising racket to buy his books. Things

No, I don't believe it is. The "display" on the demo site is simply reading out the state of the RAM. While you can "see" the on bits within the RAM grid, I think it's kinda hard to discern the values from the

Note the new edit on the blog post: They silently corrected the sample data for Bill Gates, changing his state from WI to WA. Major red flag; if it was wrong in the original data just keep it that way and release a few more samples for ver

How does that conclusion follow your premise? Premise: US AV companies are deeply connected to the US intelligence communities. Conclusion: Deep suspicion of criticism that a Russian AV company may be connected with Russian intelligence com

It's not obvious to me why the two (spin-stabilization and hibernation) would have to be coupled. Could it be due to antennas that are required for communication during active mission control? That said, there's a whole lot of no

My hunch is that it's just an artifact from the shift in imaging technologies from visible wavelengths to infrared (or somesuch).

Yes, the TOS does require arbitration (including for actions that occurred before signing the TOS), but it's not clear if it applies to just the child company that is providing the credit monitoring service or if it applies to the ac

Why must the consumer enroll in this? Why is it not automatic? They already pull all the strings with regard to keeping the consumer from taking out and keeping track of legitimate loans. Why must we go out of our way to prevent them fro

Then in that case, I suppose it all depends on who is doing the justification. Nearly every police shooting in America is "justified" — be it by a police review board, a prosecutor, a grand jury, or a trial jury.

You don't need a statically-typed or compiled language to have this sort of infrastructure! Julia does something similar for important changes — and it actually runs all the unit tests of all the registered packages.

7->T is definitely the most oblique of the four numbers. I'd say that 0 as O is completely unobjectionable, and 1 as I mostly so. It's a lot easier for me to read #c0ffee than #7a57e5.

Which points read that way to you? I see one feature that's explicitly tagged as experimental. Everything else reads very matter-of-fact to me.
