Jupytext solves this for me completely. It is an extension to jupyter code which can be turned on (globally or per-notebook, with additional configuration options) which automatically syncs the notebook to a file which can be checked into g

But they rarely host the bad shit themselves, so it still is easily blockable.

But there is zero reward for showing replication results. Not novel enough, you won't get published. And if you're unable to replicate it then maybe you just did it wrong, or there was a small trick they were using in the code whi

I understand quite well the connection between static type systems and proofs, and how compilers work. As pointed out by another user here, an amazing amount of optimization can be done while maintaining the dynamic nature of the code and,

While informal, I do not think his tone lacked civility. I strongly prefer papers written in this style. Not only are they more enjoyable to read, but they are often easier to understand and more geniune as well. Papers written in a formal

I don't think that was his motivation, I think his motivation was stated quite clearly in the abstract: > The author's lone goal is to show that the entire field might have evolved a different direction if we had instead been o

Julia does this. You can run the code and you get the output right next to it in an expandible dialog. You can write your while program this way, executing a line of code, tweaking it until it is correct. It can be quite nice. My one compla

The community of people using Swift for numerical computation essentially didn't exist prior to their announcement, and after their announcement it seems to only consist of the team developing the framework and Jeremey Howard.

Except it basically only runs on MacOS, which means that it doesn't have strong datacenter support, which means that it won't be used in any serious applications. It's also not dynamic, which is almost a must-have for explora

Many of my relatives seem to have no interests or hobbies. I mean sure, they watch TV and movies, but it's not like they are deeply interested in them, they serve more as pastimes. They don't have anything they are actually passi

Wouldn't this argument also apply to cars? In fact, there's always some inherent risk that the item you're buying is damaged in an unnoticeable way, even if it is new. What if your car seat has a manufacturing defect? What if

Because they don't make money directly from iMessage, they make money by selling the hardware, and the fact that iMessage only works on their hardware increases it's value and further locks you into their ecosystem.

No, I was saying that it is strange that the debit card is only free if you use it a few times. If you give me a debit card and I don't use it, what did it cost you? A few pennies for the plastic?

What a strange rule. Debit cards presumably only cost the bank money if you use them.

Reading the link, it seems that Jeremy Howard only tried out Swift because Swift for Tensorflow existed. I got the impression from your comment that using Swift for this purpose was somehow "in-the-air" at the time, and many peo

That might explain why they chose it, but it doesn't give me (or anyone else who isn't familiar with Swift already) any reason to consider it.

I like differentiable programming a lot, but can anyone explain the motivation for Swift as their language of choice for this? I assume it was simply because they wanted to get Chris Lattner, and Swift was his baby. Julia seems like a much

Not the person you originally asked, but I can share a relevant experience. I definitely have concerns with the amount of data Google has about me and, in particular, the idea of Chrome monopolizing the browser landscape. As a result, a few

How do you stop the bots from upvoting? If you make people fill out a recaptcha every time to upvote they just won't bother.

Then that's not great, based on the way I (and, from observation, many others) use search results. I often middle-click (or control+click) several links which look promising, loading them in new tabs in the background. When I have a d

My biggest complaint with ZFS is the lack of flexibility. If you setup two disks in a mirrored configuration, that's the end of it - those disks will be mirrored forever. If you get another drive and want to expand storage while still

I think that they're just using Marlin, a lot of the work is done for them.
