The most important aspect of any language are the trade-offs and values held by the designers and community. Julia takes a zero-compromise oath to approachability and performance. Julia is not (yet!) a perfect language, but those values mak

Walking burns like, what, 5 kcal/minute (generous)? If non-Americans walk on average 20 more minutes a day (generous), that's like 100 kcal per day. Or about 7kg at 15 kcal/kg basal metabolic rate, not taking into account for

The EU has the GDPR, which protects consumer's privacy. And, yes, some tech services don't serve EU citizens. Repealing 230 would have a similar effect, but with the focus on protecting people from corporate censorship. If this me

I take the same viewpoint. But that is, admittedly, a position of privilege. Tracking "net worth" is out of reach for the vast majority of people who live paycheck-to-paycheck.

What is great about ModelingToolkit.jl is how its used in practical ways for other packages. E.g. NeuralPDE.jl. Compared to SymPy, I feel that it is less of a "how do I integrate this function" package and more about "how can

Adding dates to source code? No thanks. If you want reproducibility, invest in guix. Everything else is a hack.

You need to look at the coefficients. Memory queries pull in 64 bytes of contiguous memory at a time (actually more with speculative prefetching). That extra data is used in a linear scan, but is mostly wasted when doing random access. You

In scientific computing, that is the typical workload. That is why, say, Julia exists despite having a ridiculous JIT overhead.

The CPU will load less cache data with linear searches. This is because you will have less cache misses. Less cache misses == less loading from memory. With pointer-heavy data structures, you load more from memory, and most of the stuff you

I have lots of math books. And reading a page takes maybe an hour or so. The result is that 99% of my library is unread. No regrets.

This is a good thing. Anime outside of Japan is still niche. I don't want N competing streaming services. Even with a Funimation+Crunchyroll subscription, I still have to resort to less-than-legal means to watch some of my favourite ma

Earmarks and pork funding is not even corruption. It is a representative's duty to advocate on behalf of their constituents. And constituents want spending programs in their communities.

I was referring to the consistency of the user interface and other behaviours. For example, themes and key bindings can be made consistent across emacs modes. They share the same config.
