I love this project, Go is such a great API language that for simple apps it’s wonderful to be able to jump into the browser with it after writing your API

Bitcoins wild fluctuations based on speculation would say it’s not a safe place to store value over time

Yeah in my whole career, the worst codebases I’ve worked on are far and away PHP

States like Colorado require all new subdivisions to have HOAs

Exactly, money is a reflection of power.

I was just reading about them using fMRI in conjunction with high frequency focused ultrasound to lesion parts of the brain associated with certain mental disorders such as OCD. They seemed to be having decent success with that

I love this direction. I was studying homotopy a couple years back with this intention. Embedding functional relationships is the future

I’m curious is they have any metrics on worker productivity that are informing this. They certainly seem to be pushing out features and making money still

Yeah this is sort of the problem with equal outcome. Even the people who get the roles complain that they feel like they didn’t get it because of their skill. I’m in a similar boat where I’m actually Bi but don’t want to broadcast that to t

From an evolutionary standpoint it makes perfect sense, but there are some unfortunate downsides
1481.

Yeah Rust is really close to what I want but I agree the borrow checker adds a bit too much overhead when dealing with data science. It seems like reference counting is probably the move here

I think what people want is all the great things Go brings to the table but just geared a little more towards data work. Julia offers a lot in the data world and not much in the engineering world.

Operator overloading and the Go->C FFI are pretty big hinderances. Go just wasn’t designed for this kind of work. Which is unfortunate because it brings a lot of great things to the table. Vlang is probably the closest spiritual successo

The biggest hurdle for Go in this realm is honestly the Go—>C FFI latency. It severely limits acceleration

It can be used through the skull, there are people doing that already, it just doesn’t deliver as high of resolution yet.

This is pretty well studied now. There are safe ranges and durations, but yeah ultrasound at high frequencies is used for brain surgery today so it’s a delicate tool. It’s also lacking large scale human studies currently.

Yeah I got off it, haven’t missed it. It seems to be a reflection of the Soviet totalitarian mindset the far left is taking nowadays.

I type all my data science/ml code and I absolutely love it. Now when I explore packages or data I have a more clear understanding of what I’m dealing with
1489.
by mountainriver 6y ago
I share the exact same sentiment. I really tried hard to like Julia, spent months with it because of all the shortcomings of python. I submerged myself in its community, but at the end of the day it just never stopped feeling odd. I’ve also
