   I recently bought Threema and I can only say that I like it more than Signal. Now it even has local (meaning your images don't leave your phone) object detection in images, global search in chats, etc. The only thing that's missin

   I have even less use for JavaScript. I mostly do NLP and DL, so it's Julia and Python for me.

   4x10 is almost as bad as 5x8. 4x8 would be a real improvement.

    Not the same thing: you're a person they know, so it's privacy. Facebook, Google, 3 letter agencies do that invisibly.

    Get a good fountain pen and high quality paper. This is a) fun and b) forces you to write properly.

    I switch between Python and Julia frequently with Julia being my main language now (formerly Python). It's not as big a problem as people seem to think. If this is your biggest difficulty you're not doing difficult stuff.

    Realistically, how much did you expect over mature R libraries or Fortran? 1000x or 10_000x? I'd consider 3-10x a major gain.
