   Will does this include all USGS data? This is a topic that came up at work today as we rely on this data and are considering backing up most of the Lidar data from there ourselves (100s of TB probably) EDIT: no, looks like it is only the fo

   Yeah, at some point I was hoping it would. But after attending a day of JuliaCon last year: Julia is nowhere close to replacing Python, but it might put MATLAB in the ground. It looks like Julia has found a few niches though: HPC and numeri

   My guess is it will end up pretty close to the C/C++ relationship, where the joke is that C++ is a superset of a subset of C.

   Not the original commenter, but also ex-HEP person: The invariant mass is the rest mass of the particle (i.e. it's "inherent" mass). You can calculate it by taking the final state decay products of the original particle (i.e.

   And as an ML engineer with a PhD in physics I can tell you that I am deeply grateful that I didn't have to go the postdoc route. I know we are joking around here, but damn, just for that alone I'm happy that he got it. For whether

    Thanks Chris! It has been about a year since I started playing around with Mojo and it's impressive how far it (and the community) has come!

    It's coming along. I don't think anyone is using it for anything serious yet, but it is starting to feel like a real language. My guess is that it will start being used as a library language (i.e. have libraries written in Mojo b

    Yup, language is still closed, stdlib is open.

    Yup, it's a fantastic read. I based most of my post off it (I clearly mention so) and it's worth it to read at least the first part of it before reading my post.

    The real Blue Zones are the friends we made along the way. The problem will always be that you need to find places that keep good records, and have done so for the last century. What they set out to do was to find correlations between lifes

    Yup, lots of tape for stuff in cold storage, and then some subset of that on disk spread out over several sites. It's kinda interesting to watch anything by Alberto Pace, the head of storage at CERN to get an understanding of the chall

    The labels seem to be taken from OpenStreetMap, so blame imperfect labelling there. I guess taking labels from OSM is akin to taking your facts from Wikipedia (except that Wikipedia actually tends to be pretty well curated these days).
