I do not understand what this is supposed to be about. What is this "Euro Cloud" and what does it have to do with "ERP, manufacturing execution systems, CRM, and product lifecycle management (aircraft designs)"? For exam

I explicitly pointed out what the article was lying about. "You cannot see how fft or ode45 are implemented under the hood." is a totally false statement. You absolutely can do exactly that. This is not a matter of opinion. Righ

Julia competes with the scientific computing aspect of matlab, which is easily the worst part of matlab and the one which the easiest to replace. Companies do not buy matlab to do scientific computing. They buy matlab, because it is the onl

What a terrible article. The author does not understand matlab at all and he is also either lying or totally clueless. Matlab is successful because of precisely one thing, which nobody has replicated. It offers a complete software environ

Maybe off-topic, but what is going on with this website? "Step forward the ‘fully biodegradable’ shoe that leaves no footprint" - Hilariously awful idea. Which sane person wants shoes which are designed to literally disintegrate?

If the manufacturing economy of Europe looses out to China, which currently seems very likely, I, and millions of other people, will be out of a job, with no possible chance of ever earning anything close to a reasonable wage. Who cares abo

Competition by whom? The entire EU software industry is completely pathetic. The EU has been regulating the US tech for over a decade. In that time the EU has only fallen further behind. Meanwhile China has been steadily moving towards bein

The idea that just because Europe still has some profitable businesses left, there is no need to compete for global technological leadership is so absurd that even putting it into words is hard. E.g. Germany, the largest EU economy, is very

Major commercial airliners have system controllers where the measuring is done as follows: Write into the code some instruction which flips some output bit, hook the system up to a test rig and then get an oscilloscope. With the oscilloscop
