TidierPlots( https://github.com/TidierOrg/TidierPlots.jl ) aims to provide a 1:1 API compatible ggplots2 implementation on top of Makie. Works fine for me, specially given I can leverage Makie when I wanted to tweak some

A lot of corprotation have a very hard time moving workloads to the cloud due to regulations alone. In some places it's a compliance nightmare, a landing page with "trust me, we're secure" from AWS is far from enough for

Seconding Designing Data Intensive Applications by M. Kleppmann. Gets you from “zero to hero” in fundamentals on scaling large distributed data platforms. Wondering if there are equivalents on modern approaches to security.

This is the way. Unless you are huge, self hosting and even colo is not competitive with long term VM commitments in hyper scalers. They get big discounts on everything you'd pay retail, and their margins for barebones VM is not that l

Indeed. It's like saying life is just long strands of DNA composed of only four simple molecules. Or economy is just people trading their surpluses. Emergent behavior... emerges. It's hard to predict or explain from constituents.

You use both. Once your data fits comfortably in memory it's naive to try to build histograms, pivots and charts using pure SQL.

SQLite is good for a bunch of stuff, but it's terrible for analytic workloads. Not even in the same ballpark for pandas, let alone Julia

IMO, the main benefit of those exact algos are the they provide optimality bounds, allowing you to make informed decision to continue or stop and provide a non-optimal solution. This is valuable in many practical situations. >Time schedu

At $DayJob, we deal with OR problems for large companies and typically, when possible, we leverage Gurobi to solve Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MIP) formulations. However it's not unusual for the problems to be huge to the point e

Julia core is backwards compatible all the way to 1.0, libs not so much. Now, something as fundamental as numpy dropped support for Python<3.6 in a minor release: https://numpy.org/devdocs/release/1.19.0-notes.h

Cult? That's a very bad take. It's a tool, great for some stuff, rough edges here and there. People invest huge amount of effort fixing Python's shortcomings (pyspark, tf, jax, mojo) requiring a completely different way of th

What are you talking about? HPV is by far the simplest, cheapest and safest method of preventing a HPV induced cervix and throat cancer for a few decades already. Heck, I believe say most people can get it for free via health insurance. Wha

It’s bit smarter than that. There are a couple of tricks to make the search more informed. There are a couple introductory articles to CSP that are more in depth than TFA.

Well, while the idea of sentient AI may sound like science fiction, we are making significant strides in the field of artificial intelligence. It's not quite "I, Robot" yet, but who knows? Maybe we'll have a real-life So

That’s an incredibly bad analogy. A more apt one would be lobbying FAA to give up pilot mandatory rest time for regional jets (eg. ERJs) as “they’d be too expensive compared flying with wide bodies 777”

Exactly. They should’ve bought short term t-bills to match deposit maturities. But then how could they offer above market rate yields on their checking accounts, right?

This. C#, Java or even newcomers such as Kotlin/Go are even in the same ballpark due to the REPL/Jupyter alone. Let alone when you consider the ecosystem
