Simply via inability to reproduce or check research code without proprietary software. Science shouldn't be built on something like that.

You must have done research at well funded universities :) My experience is quite different. Although after some hassles I was able to get license but it’s online only. Overall I’m trying to move away from commercial software (I don’t teach

And to me this is the essence of hacking and hacker culture, not “how do I create MVP from my idea and become an entrepreneur” or “this and that in company XYZ” mindset. So glad to see people doing silly things that in fact require skill. T

Contrarily to what devs may think git is a fairly complicated and powerful system for steep learning curve, especially for your average Joe. I’m by no means a full time programmer, but I do program few times a week and sometimes I get lost&

Didn’t know about this possibility. It’s a good idea to archive it locally and update regularly (just in case something happens with internet ;). Is the same possible for melpa?

Probably someone on the remote machine with restricted or no internet connection and admin privileges. It happens e.g. on company or academic clusters. It is much easier to ask admin to install emacs and use defaults than to ask to install

First of all - very interesting work. I am gonna use the opportunity to ask question to authors directly. Keep in mind that I don’t know a lot about gravity ;) As far as I understand speed of gravity interaction is limited by speed of light

I want to make remark about organic synthesis from the perspective of person who is engineer of chemistry by training as did his fair share of organic synthesis (and eventually moved to computational atomic and molecular physics). It is one

(Quantum) Many body problem is indeed at the very heart of chemistry. If it was solved creation of new materials and chemicals would be less of trial and error. In principle it comes down to the fact that problem space explodes tensorially

Nah, it's around 8GB that can be trimmed to ~5GB if some example files and graphs are deleted from the documentation.

Ah, ok yes. But in my OP I didn’t really mean technical problems, rather organisational/social. I mean that if all top-class talents in compilers technology focuses on llvm there probably wouldn’t be a lot people to be both willing and

Oh maybe I missed it. Is there a way to compile LLVM IR with something other than LLVM? Is this what you mean by output of LLVM front-end output?

by tikej 7y ago
On one hand this is a great news and as Fortran user pretty happy about it. On the other I’m a bit worried that once LLVM backend will take off for real, so much focus will concentrate on it, that other compilers (PGI, gfortran, Intel Fortr

In my opinion the best way to do it, albeit quite time consuming to setup, is to setup orgmode with extensions such as org-ref, pdf-tools and org-brain. It is a big hassle, however I see it as do-once-in-a-lifetime (and iterate till infinit

By that I mean that in biology things are quite... Undeterministic. Working with computer is (except some very rare cases) a work when non-deterministic behaviour is most likely a bug. It's more or less the same in other hard sciences.

No, I have not. I don't trust the Apple enough to break my workflow at the moment although I don't even use any 32 bit apps (at least that I'm aware of). I will also wait for some .2 or further release.
