Why can’t I set up a monthly donation to Nautilus like I can for my local PBS station? (No, I’m not looking forward to “we need your support” interstitials either.)

When I was starting out in machine learning, as a programmer with the most rudimentary calculus background, it was easy to derive algorithms that had terms like "gradient w.r.t X of log(det(inv(λI + A X A')))" which absolutel

I found it was a lot like my experience with Python and its indentation. First it seemed weird, but then I quickly got used to it and ended up appreciating it. A lot of careful thought actually does go into the design of the Julia language,
