The author offers no evidence for said "trouble" other than the existance of a similar free offering at github. Clickbait.

I'm curious about the workflow for these employees... How do your staff actually get things done? Are they in excel/word/email all day long? Custom apps? In dev/data science there are some okay cloud providers (gitpod, e

Not OP but it's almost a whole new language. They removed a lot of boilerplate and it just feels a lot better planned out.

There’s no such differentiation in Canadian universities. There’s a few that are a bit better than others in some areas.

That is really interesting. Have you noticed a performance penalty at all? E.g. with large concurrent IO like compiling, or other dev use cases? eSATA never seemed to take off for that application, and on paper usb-c should be pretty good!

Yes. Script kiddies want to use javascript everywhere and desktop apps are dinosaurs. I wish it weren't that way. Maybe the lack of a good, widely adopted cross platform toolkit is to blame? Its a really hard problem though...

Say it with me: right tool for the right job. Not every language should try to solve every problem. And not every problem is nicely solvable in every language. By your definitions any language other than what, C and js is "unpopular&q

Personally, I’m against crypto because of the aggressive marketing that has fuelled a speculation boom. It’s disingenuous that crypto is being marketed to mainstream people who don’t understand the risk, volatility, and even concept of havi

They're outliers rather than the average. They had amazing leverage to retain control beacause of the scope of what they were doing.

Would love some commentary on why this is an unpopular question. Good software practices don't only have to be for "production" or CI or large teams of coders. Testing for correctness could be seen as part of the work of deli

Generate synthetic data -> run model -> check expected outputs. Yes it a lot of work, but you're reaching millions of people with this model and correctness is paramount! Similarly, even such simple test harnesses help when your

The purpose of testing in my example is for correctness, not continuous integration. I would argue regardless of "production" use, the fact that this is publishing a widely read newspaper makes it highly impactful and more likely

Forgive the naive question: but is code like this typical for "data science"? It seems more like something out of a masters project... Huge script files with zero testing? Theres a huge amount of data reshaping, mutating, and gen

Largely superseded? This is a sarcastic comment, right? In case it isn't: the assertion that these are superseded is categorically false. For any reasonably computationally difficult problem, being able to capture the structure of a pr

Yes but the difference here is that you write in markdown, and it does the TeX-ing for you.

Hmm.. I think in the case of a fractal its actually easier, since you'd typically not resample, but instead recompute the fractal iteration count. Consider the case of zooming in on a region of the fractal. Do you: a) only zoom by fixe
