I am using Unitful.jl for some complex electromagnetics code I am developing. Although it makes the definition of types and constructors more complicated, it has helped me find several subtle bugs in the equations. Forcing the type system t

These are not "the results", this is a particular aspect of the whole story. What about the price? The total energy in TWh? (Spoiler: I checked these data in the same site you linked, and the ideology still looks bad.)

I am not the OP, but comparing the following news reveals a lot of bad ideology. https://www.politico.eu/article/nuclear-reactors-germany-inv... https://montelnews.com/news/652d5434-12f1-459b-bec5-

I welcome well-founded scientific articles about the Shroud of Turin like this, as I have read many unsubstantiated claims, both on one side and another: believers see traces of Roman coins laid on the eyes, and skeptical conjecture phantas

I wouldn't say that this article and the book just "make the same point". Zerubavel devotes an entire chapter to explain how to get a good estimate of the time required to complete the project, another chapter provides tips a

Something similar to this is presented with much more details in Zerubavel's “The clockwork muse”, a highly recommended book.

I used Nim in several projects in the past. The language has much to love, but the tooling is awful. If you're fine coding using JOE/Nano/Pico, then I would say: go for it, you'll surely enjoy the experience! But if you

I use Kitty, which is extremely fast, and I often avoid calling `tail` to print the end of a long log file: the terminal is so fast in displaying it that it's useless. Another case is when you mistakenly invoke a command that produces

I would have never thought of that. Great idea, thanks!

Does this really define a new range-checked type? I never used in_range, but it seems a function [1] that you must call whenever you want to do the check on one variable, while in Pascal all the checks are injected automatically every time

The fact that slurs and grouping must be appended after the note hasn't always been so. I have been a user since its first versions, and at the beginning you would write a legato scale like this: (c d e f g a b c) which indeed looks mo

Not sure about Courier :-) but I too have fond memories of MSVC 6.0!

Agreed. Nim could be perfect, were it not for its BDFL.

Not sure these are really popular, but I cannot resist advertising a few utilities written in Go that I regularly use in my daily workflow: - gdu: a NCDU clone, much faster on SSD mounts [1] - duf: a `df` clone with a nicer interface [2] -

My wife's Toshiba laptop was bought in 2005 and still works. It's a 32-bit machine with just 1–2 GB of memory, but I put a SSD a few years ago and with this setup Linux runs fine. I still use it sometimes, as it's the smalles

I used it for another project but was not impressed. When I tested it, the documentation was scarce, and the deployment is harder than Julia because it needs a working C compiler alongside the CPython interpreter.
