   Consider pre-rendering formulas instead of doing it client-side (KateX supports this, dunno about MathJax). In my experience, rendering a lot of equations on screen via MathJax can be quite taxing.

   Configuration isn't stored in environment variables. Rather, they are exposed as environment variables. The idea is that the application environment / infrastructure should own the config data, not the application code itself. 12

   My understanding is that is what PackageCompiler.jl is supposed to do.

   Both static checking and compilation can be implemented using third party libraries. I think projects like mypyc could be a real game-changer.

    Would this system support custom aggregates? How would I, for example, create a routine that defines a covariance matrix and have Ballista deal with the necessary map-reduce logic?

    Fast for-loop, the ability to microoptimize numerical code (skip bounds checking in array access, SIMD optimations), GPU vector computing can use exact same code as CPU due to Julia functions being highly polymorphic. Your research code is

    Lewis Carrol, author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, was a mathematician. His collection of short stories, A Tangled Tale, has a lot of math-related humor.

    It's not so much AWS vs. in-house. But AWS (or GCP/DO/etc.) vs. multi/hybrid solutions. The latter of which would presumably have lower downtime.

    If your API is so complicated that it becomes a DSL, then perhaps there should be better communication between frontend and backend teams. Setting up a lean API contract makes more sense than creating an internal DSL or exposing internal da

    Here's why I don't do it: Wordpress.com does not allow for custom Javascript.

    If startup time is the issue, you can use emacsclient for near instant starts.

    Org to PDF via Emacs works great. The main issue is making Emacs a hard dependency of your publishing pipeline.

    I love the interface, but I don't like the idea of monkey-patching the standard library. Can't one instead spawn a separate thread and run the event loop there?

    There are lots of comments indicating that the programmer is doing things wrong. But what is the right way to deal with encoding issues? Wait for code to break in production? Whatever "best practices" there are for dealing with un

    The reason why there are so many static site generators is that they are trivial to write (which is why making your own is a good beginner coding project): for {post}.md in in blogdir: if timestamp({post}.html) < timestamp(

    Julia is advertised as general purpose. I can imagine it eventually obtaining a presence in web development.

    I think that GNU TexMacs [1] is a superior to LyX, albeit less well known. Unlike LyX, it doesn't depend on the TeX stack and all the baggage that comes with it. 1: http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/home/welcome.en
