Julia isn’t as good as matlab in optimising badly written matrix code. For example some vectorised (in sense A = G (BX + C D) for matrices and vectors) it allocates temporary matrices whreas matlab is great at optimising such stuff. Most th

This is all cool ideas but sadly keeping home cool is not that easy due to problems with humidity and consequently mold. Old houses were much less airtight than modern ones. So sadly I think it’s a trade off: either modern energy efficient

Oh it is special precisely because of that! We can almost always get the answer with numerical methods. Yet, numerical solutions are good almost only for certain values of parameters. Analytic solutions on the other hand provide more insigh

Ok, of course true that sum of heat from sun that reaches earth remains constant no matter whether we use it. However, how it’s stored/used on the earth is another matter. E.g. if it’s absorbed by plants/fungi/other life for

Putting scientific data and research process behind paywalls and proprietary programs is in my opinion the opposite of what science needs. There are enough barriers in science as it is, no need to create more. Even to download Functionaliti

I don’t think you have enough knowledge about me to judge whether I understand science or religion and such ad personam is unwelcome. More productive would be to point out what part of, for example Christianity, changed due to logical analy

This is maybe (but it’s heavy maybe) true for the ideas of religion and science. In reality religious institutions and people opposed and still oppose science and scientific freedom due to their beliefs. Of course other groups of people als

The drawings of the machines are art by themselves. One thing I miss about plotting libraries is having the ability to draw this kind of "pencil drawn" plots as in old technical books.
