Julia seems such a great language for doing mathematical/scientific work the right way. It's such a shame that Python has bulldozed it's way into all these fields. What's the famous saying in software development - Worse

The fact that the poster had difficulty rewriting the code in Rust points to the big issue with Rust. I noticed the vast majority of code written in Rust tends to be re-writes of exiting products. Yet, people have difficulty getting it out

Only Apple had the phone, Google's phone is mostly for pushing innovation (not sales) and Meta doesn't have a phone or OS. In the final analysis, most of the value went to these guys not the hundreds/thousands of startups tha

Mobile did not go to startups. It remained with the incumbents from pre-mobile (Google, Meta, Apple). It appears only the Internet was a truly game changing event if you are thinking of brand new gigantic companies go from startup phase to

One interesting part of this book is the language chosen is C. Now, we all know the downsides but the good part is it allows the student to understand the runtime efficiency, memory usage and complexity of various algorithms closer to what

All programming languages have advocates. Rust is special in that it is a bunch of advocates with a language. Can't stop advocating.

Giannandrea's testimony, as recorded in the filing, also states: "Microsoft was willing to sell Bing, which you wouldn't do if it was a strategic asset." I think safe to say, it wasn't only about Annie Lenno

Man, this whole "All you need is XYZ" framing is turning out to the as irritating and overused as "XYZ considered harmful" from back in the day.

Not only will not end coding, I feel the proliferation of LLM's is going to create more nonsense work because everyone is a coder and will create poorly specified requirements.

True, X is becoming unbearable. Used to be - 90% of replies were from normal people. Nowadays, it is just 90% bots in all replies. Maybe the result of firing 70% of the employees shows up after some delay.

If you factor in the number of people, the wealth of US is staggering. Lot of the wealth in the US is from stocks and real-estate. Would be interesting to see if the cut-off still remains at $5.8M (to join 1%) after the long awaited recessi

No, regular web search will just give you links. You have to click and go read the text. Putting together a comprehensive page of (seemingly) cogent arguments will need GenAI.

Not sure what the poster is getting at. It seems to be 'normal' case of precision with floating point. In Julia for example, you can define u to be BigFloat (defaulting to 32 bytes for me below). It gets you the correct answer. Th

Really? You feel the price increase from 2021-2023 seems the same as 2023-2024 to you. I see the prices have been elevated in the prior period ('21-'23) but they haven't moved much in the last few quarters. Perhaps everyone a

As usual, the true test of whether something will stick is what apps/tools is Microsoft building with MAUI? If nothing, then good chance it is a yet another framework thrown at developers and abandoned five years later.
