Yeah, actually what he's saying is applicable at a wide range of IQ levels etc. Even if you're not a genius you sure can be the most knowledgable person in town for x. Just that x can't be too IQ demanding. There are tons of

I don't get it! Can someone explain why/how this is special? Seems like it is only a matrix of like 40 states per blob and that the lower blobs just follows with the same state? Of course well executed but..?

And the articles renders so fast and so smooth on my laptop. In fact they render more smoothly and loads faster than 99% of all much much less technically advanced articles out there. Wow!

In Julia I can use things as data oriented design (few cache misses) to further reduce runtime. I'm not sure you get much out of such efforts in Python.

Not only did I profile it, put a lot of time into optimization and learned how to use cloud computing, but I also learned a new language (Julia) and ported the whole application. :)

Good point! Stuff that can be efficiently expressed as matrix operations is trivial for "Python" (eg BLAS) to handle. But I don't know of a good way to express a rolling maxima of a time series that way. And even less so if i

I'm not sure what you mean with architecture? The computers I currently run on are ordinary Macs of the latest generations. (Before Julia came and saved me I ran on Google cloud) That is way more data than I am currently using! I'

I don't think I did anything algorithmically wrong. If I could have done it with more of the data handling being done in c functions and just using Python as outer glue? Most likely but then that would not make the framework very exten

For me it's really interesting to read all the complaints about precompilation times etc. I'm definitely not saying the complaints are false, just that there are also some of us out there where they matter close to 0 (at current l

Wrote my master thesis in Fluid dynamics (transition to turbulence) in LyX 11 years ago. Great experience! Great Software!

Alacritty definitely isn't without flaws of its own though. There are no smooth ways of handling several instance (at least on Mac). You have to bind a shortcut to creating a new Window which will appear as a new icon. And! a new windo

My small very unscientific benchmarking on a high spec last gen Macbook pro 13 (partly consisting of watching Activity monitor while scrolling fast) is that Alacritty performs better than Kitty (despite Kittys team claiming the opposite) bo

Talking about ironic, Rust is often mentioned as the language Mozilla invented to write exactly that - a browser..
