No, you'd likely get unrelated style changes in your commits. Read the gofumpt readme to understand why.

It's got good macros and the implementation of both regular code and macros operate on the same core datastructures. It has the interactive features for inspecting and modifying a running system that Lisps often have. It has reflection

I like it a lot even though almost all of my functions have no dispatch (only one implementation) or single dispatch (implementation differs based on the type of just one of the arguments). Firstly I like the aesthetic and implications of f

Also, several of the buggy uses of @inbounds were safe at the time they were written (early <1.0 julia when arrays were always indexed from 1).

Fundraising and publishing are specialised skills that artists don't necessarily have. Also, lots of people, including many artists, like the stability of a steady pay check and employment rights, which means companies or co-ops. The s

It's correct if you want to do something `length(A)` times and want an iteration counter, but it's never better than `for idx in eachindex(A)` if what you actually want are indexes into A (which is of course the much more common c

Julia released experimental support for arrays whose indexes don't start at 1 in Julia 0.5, October 2016. The boundschecking feature was added in 2015, so at the time they wrote their code and examples, they were correct. The documenta

I don't think there's any clean way to stop that at a language level (some languages prevent this by disallowing random access to arrays, but that's a non-starter for a performance-oriented language), and also it would be a m

Dogs often eat a lot less when they are stressed, though usually not so little or for so long that they get emaciated.

Julia REPLs and editor plugins have adopted a nice feature where you can type the LaTeX name of the symbol you want to get it. e.g. `\subseteq` followed by tab yields `⊆` or `\trademark` for `™`. You can also do emoji with `\:eyes:` for ``

I really like Baselet.jl[1] which provides Tuple-specialised implementations for a bunch of Base APIs that the compiler is very good at unrolling :) [1]: https://github.com/tkf/Baselet.jl

Why would they exclude a repo and then not exclude all PRs from that repo?

You can use unbindurl, so you can unbind tridactyl's j/k on mail.google.com, for example. Keys not bound in tridactyl are passed through to the page.

Those are already problems with aviation, so that's nothing new. The existing rules didn't emerge from primordial ooze, they were also influenced by lobbyists and have certain effects.

If you just give fines to companies that don't run flights on routes then you can impose a penalty without incentivising empty or near-empty flights.

You can just fine the companies rather than incentivising them to run empty planes. Better yet, institute a proper carbon tax and either a carefully thought-out market for slots and/or fines.

Julia can stack allocate all sorts of values. I think it currently stack allocates all immutable values and also every mutable value that it proves do not escape their function. Kind of besides the point, though, because the GC is probably

But why? What problem would that rebate seek to solve? If the concern is that poor people might be unable to afford to stay in their homes, why not target poverty or house prices directly rather than adjusting the tax?

Nearly twice the emissions with over four times the population. Nearly 20% of the world's population is in China. Of course they're going to emit more. But if China were rapidly increasing its emissions per capita, that could stil

This blame China narrative is pretty ridiculous. China's per capita emissions are about half those of US or Canada (though still over the global average). That should help you understand how incredibly profligate North America is. Chin
