Don’t people google their newly coined acronyms? GRAPE is already Gradient-Ascent-Pulse-Engineering, which is arguably “machine learning” (optimal control)

Even better: Julia (although Fortran is pretty good!)

I wrote this plugin for Neovim to be able to edit Jupyter notebook .ipynb files directly in Neovim. The native format for notebooks is quasi-binary json. This plugin uses the jupytext tool ( https://github.com/mwouts/jup

I’m not sure I would consider the scientific computing that Julia targets a “tiny” niche. It’s worth remembering that Python is 30 years older than Julia, and Julia has only been in a really usable state for 4 or 5 years. You can’t expect i

True, but C and Fortran have very different semantics that make them suitable for very different fields. In particular, C does not have great semantics for linear algebra. Also, C has many footguns due to its use of pointers, while Fortran

C++ and Rust don’t really have good semantics for scientific computing (linear algebra). They’re great for many other domains like “system’s programming”, where Fortran doesn’t compete, of course. The only language that’s similarly (in fact

How has it “not panned out”? Julia has been in a useable state only for a few years, and is still rapidly developing. Prior to Julia 1.0, I would have said Fortran (which I have 15 years experience with) was the most productive language for

Not if the air that you need to breathe has a wet bulb temperature >35C

by goerz 3y ago
Right, but we're talking about being extremely close to the point where these will fail due to unsurvivable wet bulb temperatures
17.
by goerz 3y ago
Yes, you can absolutely (and we will have to) mitigate hot temperatures with building design, but only up to the point where you have wet bulb temperatures >35C over several days. There are heavily populated areas that are in real danger

by goerz 3y ago
It’s much easier to heat something than to cool it. You can build a fire without any technology at all, but you can’t do anything about unsurvivable heat without a working power grid.

by goerz 3y ago
Has it “lost” preference? I was more under the impression that it just hasn’t yet gained as much popularity as it deserves based on its technical merits, due to being quite a young language and the entrenchment of a large existing Python ec

Although I'm technically not a native speaker, I consider myself completely fluent, and a competent writer. I still find Grammarly or similar services quite useful, even if just to catch stupid "grammatical typos" that a trad

by goerz 3y ago
Yeah, Grammarly is moving in the wrong direction for me. What I’d like to see is better integration with text editors etc, especially in a plain text environment. 99% of what I write is Markdown, LaTeX, or some other markup language, which

I’m a heavy Julia user, and I love the language, but I really wouldn’t recommend it as a “general purpose scripting language”. Pushing the idea that it is will only lead to disappointment in new users. Julia is very much a language for scie
