Ask HN: as a researcher using MATLAB daily, is there a Julia IDE that offers a similar experience?

This is why taking a photo of your vote is forbidden in some places. So the third party cannot ask for photographic proof of compliance.

Millions of people do it everyday, so it seems right to call it daily use: https://twitter.com/flightradar24/status/1018260113814061057...

The visualization is really cool but for daily use seems more practical being able to plot long trip routes without them disappearing on the back of the globe than being able to assess the true size of landmasses: https://www.goo

The part about people not leaving the workforce is based on a non-peer reviewed working paper arguing that the Alaska Permanent Fund, which pays ~$2000 per person, has not decreased employment: https://www.nber.org/papers&#x

The invoice the company pays for the meal. If cooked on-site, the bills for supplies and salary of the cooks, etc. These things are why companies are required to keep books of accounts.

There seems to be a trend... Schwarzenegger's Total Recall , Nick Cage's Next , Matt Damon's The Adjustment Bureau , etc. are all based on Philip K. Dick stories. But fortunately some adaptations have turned quite good: B

The word "only" appears nowhere in my comment. It is a workstation, in which additional tasks are expected to be completed while simulations are running (some LES cases take several weeks), including CFD pre- and post-processing,

Not sure that my Uni can support these, plus they have no Linux subsystem (which is quite useful) and last time I heard, they are ditching Office 365 ProPlus support for that branch (which is the Office we use on campus, and I require in my

The lack of a "this is a serious machine" setting in Windows is baffling. I have Windows 10 Enterprise installed in a 20 core/128 GB RAM workstation that is used for lengthy numerical simulations. And yet it happily reboots r

You can take the the book/printed docs with you to read/study them at night, at work pauses, in the train, etc. Libraries don't usually let you take their computers with you, at least in my country. Paper is an amazing medium

Didn't know about the Minuteman, but I know that the SR-71 featured an astroinertial navigation system that indeed used the stars for correcting the inertial data: https://timeandnavigation.si.edu/multimedia-asset/

Note that the GPS spoofing is Iran's claim, and has never been proved. I find it highly dubious, since for military aircraft the primary navigation device is an Inertial Navigation System (INS). If in the case of a large departure betw

Lessons showcased here about planning, risk management, international cooperation, decision-making, etc. can be extrapolated to many other aspects of human endeavor. This operation is valuable knowledge for everyone.

Also a good option, although they seem a bit "busy" for my taste when Y values are very close: https://i.imgur.com/4ePNXbp.png

Very interesting work! Just a quick note, for this kind of evenly spaced, discrete X data, stairs plots are usually better. For instance this highlights better the 13th floor issue, which in the line plot was obscured: https://i.

As far as I know no CFC products are being proposed for Sentinel-5p ( http://www.tropomi.eu/data-products/level-2-products ) but it will certainly report ozone levels and profiles. In the original Nature paper reporting

Yes, of course! Sorry for that. Being European I sometimes envy not only those neat grid layouts, but also the numbered streets, because from the numbering you can infer the position of the target. But "Saint Joseph's street"

There's a lengthy explanation published in Facebook [1](in Spanish, sorry). The important fact is that there's an app which reads accelerometers in people's phones, which is used to trigger these "seek shelter" type
