Software has bugs. That's the way it is. You may think that Julia (but I suppose this is mostly about the ecosystem of packages around Julia) has too many bugs. Then you can use something else. Like Python. If you move from Julia to

You don't precompile just because it's run from the commandline though. There must be something missing from your workflow description, or you're somehow misunderstanding what is going on. Since this is a v1.6 blog post: did

What does "32GB" have to do with it? Why would a worker process segfault in this scenario?

This makes no sense without showing what you're running ? Are you also using MKL in Julia? https://github.com/JuliaComputing/MKL.jl

Mine was 1½ month "late". The new due date was given 3 days after I put in the order. What are the odds? :)

What do you mean by "refuse to show willingness to fix or even acknowledge the problem"? Do you realize that two of those issues were started by core contributors?

I feel so stupid when talking and hearing about physics... but we are not in any meaningful way "at the center" of the universe are we? Or is every point in some sense at the center (a point of reference thing)? I'm asking be

I know that http://ternaryintelligence.com/ use Julia (because they use a package of mine and have reached out [and allowed me to state that they do so]), but it's also quite clear from past juliacons that http:/

What do you mean? That's my point exactly. While Haskell has that now, they didn't always have it. If a programming language is created in 2019 they can certainly instantly incorporate insights from existing technology in their de

For complete completenes sake, Haskell has existed for almost three decades :)

I think it's great that they went ahead and released a binary for people to try it out without having to compile from source.

Why can you not call you imagemagick operation from julia? Can't you just `run(``)` it?

I know, right? Every time I want to read the top post on hacker news I always spend 10 minutes looking for it... but then I realize that HN labels the top post "1" and not "0". So annoying.

what is "cool" is very person specific though. It's hard to fully appreciate multiple dispatch in 8 lines for example

Do you mean top-to-bottom Numba-jitted? Or projects/libraries that use Numba to speed up parts of the code?

What do you mean that it's "third party"?

Same in Denmark, but probably mostly amongst my parents' or grandparents' generation (I'm mid 20s).

It's not so much that you're entitled to anything because you're of a certain ethnicity or belong to a certain culture, but if we have 200 different cultures, and some metric that we want to perform well according to, should

You may have heard about something called maps though. Google maps.

It must be then. I had a student doing a term paper with the exact same problem. Often plotting related, but not necessarily. Havn't been able to find a solution myself, or online.

I meant no harm, and as you can see, thebooktocome actually understood my comment, and has given me a useful answer. Have a nice day.

Do you really think profiling is so horrifyingly bad in Julia with ProfileView? Imho, I cannot see what Matlab offers on top of that, but that may just be me.

Well, they're probably not Linux (Ubuntu only problems perhaps?) users then. Matlab crashes again and again, locking up my entire computer, so I have to hard reset it. It happens so frequently that I simply had to install Windows on my
