Most adobe applications have quite extensive APIs. I think you can even do some linear algebra via Illustrator.

I type it. It’s typically short short, and it’s a very destructive action. It’s also very apparent to me why I would want to type it out. That said, someone is going to make a mistake at some point. I’d expect better from github support her

Logging in does not completley solve this with google. A number of pages languages are still IP based.

You can do both. Check out the difference between `import` and `using`: https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/modules/

Pre-commit has it's own CI that does this for you. But if you're in a private repository, you can just have a job that runs pre-commit. The versions of the pre-commit tests are hard-coded into the config. There's also a bot t

Don’t be too scared by all the TODO’s in the docs, most of that stuff actually works – the docs just haven’t been written yet. Admittedly those docs have had TODOs on them for over a year. To see how it works, you’ve got to look at the repo

It’s a ragged array that you can work with in python code, but also Jax and numba code.

JAX/ XLA seem quite popular, especially since you can use them in Colab on TPUs. IIRC, there are people who have managed get jax compiled with ROCm support. Tensorflow lets you deploy to quite a few backends. oneAPI support in GPUArray

They also hire software engineers to integrate CUDA into open source projects. On the one hand, those projects can now take advantage of advances in hardware. On the other, users will have to buy NVIDIA to use it, so how open is it? Also NV

I was, but mostly through XLA or Vulkan layers. Also, I’d define workable as a pretty low bar.

"just create a new instruction set"? It's taken the better part of a decade for workable alternatives to CUDA to emerge.

How so? Facebook buying Instagram and WhatsApp is essentially them buying out their competition. Google running a cloud service is more like renting out excess capacity – which is quite common across industries. Plus there's a lot of c

But our package is for scientific data analysis. It’s a python library. If you’re distributing an application, shouldn’t you just ship an environment with our package bundled?

Can someone make the case for distributing python packages at the distro level to me? Especially scientific software for data analysis? Our project gets a few issues opened by distro maintainers who have trouble with some part of their buil

Big enough to attract developers. As a bioinformatic tool developer, I'm probably gonna stick with Python and Julia since I have access to wider ecosystem of general purpose mathematical libraries and expertise.

Do you really want to have your cocaine purchase in a permanent distributed ledger though? Seems like it could come up again in court.

I think this counts as confirmed (it was kayak/ orbitz)[1]. Pretty sure I heard one of the engineers talking about it in an interview too? [1]: https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702304458604577488...

Presumably this extends beyond Australia though, right? As Square paying $1,000 per Australian would be a bit high.

I would spend $5 on a font, but would not spend $100. I would buy the font the author of this article likes for even $10, but it costs $200 (for just the monospaced variant). The price point for fonts is set for people who intend to use the

For sure. I particularly took issue with: > In e.g. Python, you are not going to run into types you want to subclass, but can't. In python, you can only really subclass things that were designed to be subclassed. Subclassing arrays,

You can set optimization per module with `Base.Experimental.@optlevel`, though I'm not finding any documentation for it. Could swear it was in a release note.

Can data.table play well with the tidyverse yet? And as a side note, I believe it's moving down the rankings in the h2o benchmarks [1]. [1]: https://h2oai.github.io/db-benchmark/

But they claim: > Because these numbers are based on the least expensive plan, they are best case scenarios. Which is... a weird statement. Best case scenario for what? The cheapest plan is the best case if you wanted to access the site

PRs which add tests and docs, but not new features to maintain? From new contributors? Your professor sounds like a true hero.

As an open source maintainer, I'm happy to have contributions from first time contributors, even if they aren't completley familiar with the workflow. It's how I learned, and I'd love be able to pass this experience on.

I initially hadn't realized these were meant to be abstracts (as the site doesn't say this). Knowing this makes hard mode much easier. I'd been having trouble with ones which had a reasonable logical flow, but didn't com

I was thinking something like matplotlib or gnuplot, but I think we may exist in very different ecosystems. But also, thinking about this a bit more, doesn't excel have the ability to plot geographic data?
