   If you're still on the fence as to whether or not Trump is a Russian agent, ask yourself these hypotheticals: * is it possible, on principle, for a POTUS to be a Russian agent? * if yes to above, what actions would such a POTUS take? *

   this isn't true. I don't think you understand how university funding works.

   there exist many high quality criticisms of Julia's type system, but this article does not contain them if I'm being totally honest. I think this writeup here https://viralinstruction.com/posts/badjulia/#

   I won't pretend that Julia doesn't have its fair share of `wats`, but in my experience they tend to be in one of two categories * usage of `OffsetArrays.jl` (really, just avoiding this package fixes most of the issues) * hideously

   while of course you're correct on a technical level, I do tend to agree with the statement that Julia is not particularly friendly to bash-scripting-heavy workflows

   I know I know I know that this same refrain has probably been said nonstop since Julia's first day after launch, but the language really is getting noticeably better every single release. Each of the releases I've been around for

   I think it is hard power. and also note they had write access, not just read. so if Musk wanted to he could have just straight up deleted all the data. that is real power.

    I didn't redefine it lol. you assumed I was using one definition and appear to be confused when I clarified. I've been very consistent.

    gettin a bit defensive there? does calling out the fact that Musk obviously did a Nazi salute strike a chord with you?

    > Julia didn’t actually have any proper PLT or compilers people involved in the outset. while I don't disagree that currently JAX outshines Julia's autodiff options in many ways, I think comments like this are 1. false 2. rude

    Chapel folk did a really nice benchmark last year including Julia, where it landed pretty much right on the Pareto frontier of code size vs performance I know that's not exactly answering your question, but you might be interested htt

    A lot of people are very concerned about it. but what am I supposed to do about it? I voted, canvassed, and donated as hard as I could already. and I lost.

    I'm not sure what could possibly be a bigger fish right now. This is, quite literally, the dismantling of our entire government and its public services unfolding before our eyes.

    that's a little self-flagellatory. I don't think it takes a whole lot of legal education to recognize that what is happening is not legal. most lawyers aren't constitutional scholars either. do you really think an expertise i
