I think very few people use the LTS (especially not people that would write here) so I don't think that matters very much.

Another (smaller) example is the detachable controllers on the Nintendo Switch ("Joy-Con") which are very hard to remove if you accidentally reattach them upside down.

I don't see a difference between solving a problem and reducing it to not be an issue (or problem) anymore.

I mean, this just looks like your run-of-the-mill bug, or? If you filter on the bug label on GitHub you will find many more. It would be interesting to try figure out what is special about your setup since no one has reported this bug since

Even against engines, a pro player will often win due to the other player running out of time due to the time loss in every move from copying the engine. You often see the game being slightly equal with the pro player slowly falling behind

I'm excited about Zig and I've spent many evenings looking at Andrew's streams. I haven't gotten the time to try it out properly myself but I'm looking forward to it.

Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for the advice. We'll do our best to ensure this doesn't happen again.

It is simple. Those issues shouldn't have had the milestone.

Of course it is possible to use almost any computer for work. That doesn't change the type of users that the particular model is designed for though.

It used to error, but exponentiation with negative literal integers was made to work. Perhaps the notebook hasn't been updated since then.

Aren't many of those benchmarks mostly comparing MKL vs OpenBLAS (the default BLAS library used)? Also, it's unlikely that Julia will handily beat the handwritten, carefully optimized C-code in numpy. At that level, it isn't

IO and strings in Julia are very fast. The comment here in the blog post is about the (currently) 130ms overhead in starting up Julia.

I feel that a comparison to the handwritten C++ version would make the claims a lot stronger. Making something 10x faster is not very hard if it is incredibly slow to begin with and is, on its own, fairly uninteresting. On the other hand, i

Your code only shows that gen_sinwave(113.0) calls gen_sinwave(1113.0, 0.0, 0.1) (which are the default arguments). It is usually better to use @code_llvm because the LLVM IR is typically easier to read. julia> @c
