I think the key is less that it has good multi-dimensional arrays built in, and more that Multiple dispatch makes Julia more composable than python. For an example of this, consider that BandedMatrices is a package that can be used in conju

How do Super Singles deal with punctured tires? I'd think one advantage of dual tires is that if one pops, there's a higher likelihood of the truck remaining drivable?

Apple can't though. It's soldered to the motherboard, so replacement also involves replacing the CPU and ram. Suddenly a $50 part has turned into about $500 (or $1000 with apple price gouging on ram and storage prices).

It would be really interesting if micron or intel collabed to make a gpu with a ton of 3d xpoint.

Or just build a cheap desktop with a gpu. rtx 2060 + nvme SSD + any cpu is pretty good for most ML, and will only cost $800 or so.

Note that if you ask on slack, you often will get answers from the core team members. They're pretty open. The main place where plans aren't the most clear is when there are features that everyone knows would be good, but aren

Note that this feature doesn't necessary require work by the core devs. It is completely feasible (at least in theory) to write a library that can output static exectuables.

Technically it is catching the type error at compile time (but compile time is Just Ahead Of Time). If you want something that feels more like type checking in a statically compiled language, you should definitely check out https:/&#x

Julia has a lot of main competitors. I would consider Julia a competitor to Fortran, C, Matlab, R, and python. If you look at DifferentialEquations.jl or the clima.jl package, these are packages that are competing with low level libraries t

IMO, Julia is good enough that you might not notice. you can use constructions like `for i in axes(V)` that will automatically give you the indexes, or `V[begin:begin+2]` to get the first 2 elements. Also higher order functions eg. `map` (a

This is wood soaked in epoxy. The epoxy should provide plenty of protection (note that lots of houses are made of regular wood, so I don't think this is much of a problem anyway).

While this is partially true, it is important to realize that most of these papers are talking about mild to moderate depression (not severe depression or any other mental illness). There is a ton of evidence that medication helps in more s

The big thing is that it is one of the first standardized, cross language binary data formats. CSV is an OK text format, but parsing it is really slow because of string escaping. The files it produces are also pretty big since it's tex

It's worth noting that many of the claims were dismissed due to the procedural problem of not making a legal claim. If you file a lawsuit in which you yell at the opposing side without making any specific allegations as to what happene

That last point is just wrong. Sometimes the return value is `nothing`, but that's still very much a return value.

Note also that PageRank is the algorithm that lets google rank results and is also just a massive linear algebra problem.
