You make a good point. I haven't used autocad before but after trying other cad programs and being frustrated with the lack of cli control it makes sense. What you explain sounds awesome! Unfortunately, the current paradigm of tools fo

Git-lfs has been helpful for managing my repo of scientific research data. Hundreds of large-ish excel files, pngs, and hdf5 add up quickly if you're doing lots of small edits. There's still some warts (don't forget git lfs i

It really is pretty great.

Great, Julia seems to have a good assortment of those "I need XYZ" (for scientific programming) and it's already in Base. I should check the apropos more.

I'd like to add a note about my experience with doing this; I ended up forking Distributions.jl and added a fitting function for the Weibull distribution. Still need to clean it up and do a pull request,. The amazing thing about Julia

You could just use a list comprehension, e.g. `[ x for x in arrayveiw1 ]` or perhaps a copy function will be added to Base.

Exactly, even the most disciplined code base will have errors. Rust type system "automates" the process that many well designed C code bases will do by convention (e.g. borrowing and keeping ownership localised). While wrapping C

A C based rtos inherits all the difficulties present in C. Ideally Rust is interesting, to me, as an ideal language to write the RTOS itself in. Once you get through the low level details, writing a (simple) schedule system is not hard and

Had similar thoughts regarding Anne. I'm working in a boomed field the potentials for startups in biotech will be expanding rapidly. Otherwise I've been unsure about the goals/strategies of YC regarding non-app based startups

Interesting, and disappointing in a way. I assumed that all Monadic compositions would be closed analogous to linear algebra operations and vector spaces. Out of curiosity, do you have a reference to read up on Monadic Composition not being

The only large project using literate programming that I am aware of is Axiom, a symbolic math system written in Lisp. From their documentation it sounds like it uses literate programming and would be a good resource. However, a modern vers

The default themes / colors in matplotlib leaves something to be desired. I'd recommend checking into [seaborn( http://stanford.edu/~mwaskom/software/seaborn/ ) for setting nice default colors and han

It's good to have varying opinions. I'm unsure what you're considering positive about state. Synchronizing state among multiple widgets in QT for example is a pain and quickly becomes become fragile. To help deal with this, Q

My initial thoughts as well. It's hard to think about going back to manual looping. Seemed like a step backwards even. This article changed my opinion quite a bit and highlights the power of having a real macro system: http:/&#x

I have an MS in CS and am now working in a science lab. Most scientists (much less grad students!) are not professional programmers. As such I'm working on moving my GUI code from PyQT to html5 based UI's because it simplifies wha
