The documentation / project page is very well-done, something unfortunately rare in the Julia ecosystem.

With regards to HIP, here is a quote from AMD's FAQ: > Most developers will port their code from CUDA to HIP and then maintain the HIP version. HIP code provides the same performance as native CUDA code, plus the benefits of running

> Julia would be beautiful if it had a Lisp syntax. It don't think it would. Lisp achieves its homoiconicity by using the same structure for data and code: the (possibly nested) list. This allows data and code to be manipulated in

In NJ, they are asking for volunteers. And they wonder how it got this bad.

BTW, does the core Julia team maintain an active list of this and other priorities?

I use to program financial applications in K/Q for a stint. Very elegant and orthogonal language. And very well documented. One major issue I had with it and other APL-ish languages: lack of skimmability. I can easily skim thousands of

I feel that the pro-monolith / anti-microservice attitude has become something of a cargo cult (at least here on HN).

Full title is "Government by Algorithm: Artificial Intelligence in Federal Administrative Agencies". Had to omit a word due to HN character limits.

Linear algebra is a shared field across multiple disciplines. So I'm sure that there are many valid and useful interpretations as to what "linear algebra" is essentially about. However, in mathematics proper, it is absolutel

Are containers really the best abstraction for providing application isolation / portability? What about snaps/nix/guix instead?

Does anyone here have any experience with JuJu? From how its marketed, it may alleviate much of the burden of setting up infrastructure (especially if using charms provided by the charm store).

I think the above poster is referring to languages like Go/Java/C#/Nim/whatever. Like Julia, these languages have a significant runtime. Unlike Julia, their apps can be compiled AOT into standalone executables.

It is not necessarily the case that data warehouses have high update latency. Open source streaming tech (e.g. Apache Kafka, Beam, etcetera) can be used to build an OLAP database updated in near real-time.

No mention of vaex? https://vaex.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ It has a cleaner, leaner API + the ability to use memory-mapped files.

Julia and Fortran also allow arbitrary starting indices. But the default is 1.

In scientific-oriented languages (R, MatLab, Julia, Fortran, &tc.), array indicies tend to start at 1. I think it is a culture thing. Software engineers prefer 0. Scientists prefer 1.

I would also recommend straight.el or perhaps even guix.

I would love to see a complete corpus of Julia-related academic papers. Quite a bit of Julia (both core language and libraries) rely on bleeding-edge research (e.g. depth-first task scheduling algorithm).

I work in the financial industry and code in K3 (among a number of other languages). Things I like: highly orthogonal & minimalistic design (basically vectors and functions acting on vectors), easy C FFI, well documented, satisfying to

No. But the quality of the libraries is often much higher, and can do things that are impossible in Python and in most other languages (owing to the high degree of Julia's polymorphism and homoiconicity).
