One thing of note that there is a great selection of Julia packages in GNU Guix. This makes Julia an excellent choice if you want a truly reproducible project.

I mean, this is done well outside programming languages. See; for example, tropical hurricanes.

tl;dr Cultural appropriation implies an ownership of art and tradition, and is akin to intellectual property. Stallman is skeptical of the validity of IP, and hence also the concept of cultural appropriation.

Generic interfaces in Julia always confuses me. Julia has no (standardized) traits or interface semantics. Instead, there seems to be a tacit agreement on which methods must be implemented, optionally be implemented, and shouldn't be i

I mean, the law is unconstitutional. Racial quotas are not legal. And this will get struck down by courts. Democrats literally just don't care.

The big issue we have with GitLab is the pricing. Ultimate is literally five (!!!) times more than premium. And there are only a couple of features that we want from ultimate.

It is, as far as I know, the only cross-distro package format that is designed to be cross-platform (desktop, server, IoT) and with built-in sandboxing. Moreover, it is feasible to base a distro off of snap alone (Ubuntu Core, designed for

NASA switched from SIMULINK to ModelingToolkit (Julia) for modeling spacecraft dynamics [0]. They found that the latter was much easier and gave a 15,000x (!!!) performance improvement. [0]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t
