As someone who doesn't use C++, can anyone explain in a straightforward way why a low level language is going through so many new versions? And is there big difference between the latest version and C++ from 5 or 15 years ago? How do y

Don't look for sources that are biased in a different way. The solution to spin in the news really shouldn't be spin in the opposite direction - that would just add another source of misinformation. The solution is consuming only

Regardless of the answer, I have plans to learn it simply out of curiosity. I'm just not yet convinced that there are any practical benefits to using Julia over the other languages.

As someone who has never run into performance problems with R, and also knows how to use Python - is there a good reason to learn Julia?

I don't think your post makes any sense. It's on AskHN and you don't have a question. Also... - How did you define and measure progress? - How did you measure the number of people working in the field? - If true, why would an

Maybe you got misled by the title, but I don't think this is a good introduction for someone who wants to get started with time series forecasting.

The best places to start for a complete beginner are Precalculus and Hello-World in C. I'm serious about this. Ultimately the job is just software development plus statistics. If you are a software developer, work on your statistics. I

My impression after reading your answers in this thread - you're trying really hard to come up with a use case for blockchain. You didn't start with the goal to create a good publishing platform and naturally get to blockchain as

Personal opinion - I really dislike the term and all the overpriced drag-and-drop, "automated", "easy-to-use" tools that are associated with it. Generally, I would choose open-source over licensed software and a programm

Without knowing too much about your situation (and being a bit envious of it), my initial thoughts are: - The company's inefficiency is an opportunity for you - you clearly have ideas on how things can be improved. Develop those into a
