It's also nice in that it's a more accessible statistical number than significance testing. It's easier to look at a prior and know the science is suspect (since when is that a 5 in 100,000 chance) than it is a P value test (

I think mindfulness is a useful tool. From there one needs a framework from which to operate on what it provides. Psychology for example. Though personally I like rationality as a pop-culture-esque pairing better. https://www.les

Since neither of the others mentioned it. The nuance is the type system + multimethods. It's a gradually typed system that fully specializes code where it can (aided by the expressive power of multi-methods), and hence with some carefu

This is a core part of the design. It's part of why Julia is so useful for scientific computing, where one often has a large job that will require a lot of processing time, such that it is worth it to do an intensive JIT cycle every-ti

Yea most states also have a pretty clear "if the device is obvious" law. It's also why businesses put up "smile you are on camera" signs, especially if their camera isn't immediately recognizable.

I assume they mean "Foreign Function Interface" this is a modern C++ code base, and hence can not be easily wrapped in a C function pointer for consumption by non-C++ languages.

I think the most egregious problem from a holistic perspective is their lack of prioritization for software engineering. Things like packing large amounts of specialized mathematics constructs (and whole libraries like git and markdown) int

My position is that despite all of Julia's problems (many of the worst being internal) I think it's the best choice of the three. And at least as far as the move from MatLab to Julia that's just a win for all of science. >
