People migrate -- they always bring their DNA with them and their language. No? The connections between these have been studied for a long time -- for example, this popular book was published 20 years ago: https://www.ucpress.edu

I still use Julia a lot and still think it is the best bet for a dynamic language with acceptable speed. I don't work on many OSS projects anymore, so I'm not an active contributor, but I'm not contributing to other languages

Given you're referring to me and my career, can you explain what you mean about "worked on large community Python projects"? I don't see that text on the page you're citing. Is it an interpretation of "I’ve bee

It seems more interesting to discuss the implied underlying situation here than focus on any individual actor's tone. It seems from the interaction that a part of IBM has (1) taken software that explicitly has no warranties, (2) repack

> Not a lot of people realize that Pandas was inspired by R, and in particular the Tidyverse model of handling rectangular data frames, created originally by Hadley Wickham. Can you give a citation from this, preferably from Wes himself?

Does the article you linked not show that a loop is 10x slower than vectorization for computing square roots? The fact that 10x is better than the 60x slowdown for vapply isn't really evidence that loops are a reasonable alternative to

Those inequalities often produce confidence intervals that are excessively conservative.

Julia's broadcasting syntax depends on having Julia-style compilation to be efficient. It's not clear to me Python could ever provide the same behavior.

This seems pretty off-base to me. A lot of folks with PhD's in physics are working in industry. And a lot of the folks working on distributed systems don't have PhD's in that field.

I imagine one factor is that there are lots of OSS projects that are simultaneously startups in the data space these days.

As others have said, I agree that you should seek professional help and find a way to re-evaluate your thinking about your career. From this post, it seems like you've gotten stuck in a feedback cycle of resentment. To make that more c

The relational model's type system is contained inside of this work as the schema component.

I think this is a genuine possibility given that the poster describes themself as an L6, whereas a FB engineer would typically refer to themself as E6 or IC6.

If you work through the math for CUPED, you'll see that only the aggregate correlation term can be interpreted as being "per-unit" -- all of the other terms in the equation are the same terms you use in your post. Insofar as

This comment seems a bit odd given that the connections between physical neurons are qualitatively very dissimilar from the connections in artificial neural networks, so invoking the human brain seems like a red herring in discussing AI met

Not the other way around? My experience is that the US uses 1-based indexing for floors in buildings and that Western Europe uses 0-based indexing for floors in buildings.

Isn't the reason that magrittr was able to use that syntax that it already existed, so your proposal is a breaking change?

One of the important facts about OSS development is that the number of users doesn't scale linearly with the number of "free hands. There are less than 2 FTE's working on Python at any given time these days.

Isn't this a problem in any system that allows function names to be overloaded? Don't you have the same issues if (a) your system has single dispatch and classes that can be extended outside the module in which they're origin

I'm not familiar with DBSCAN as a NN search system. Do you have links to using it for that purpose?

I agree with your assertion that most users could get away with 10,000 bits. My point is only that there's always going to be somebody who still tries to do something that fails, so you have to pick some set of tradeoffs. Yours seems r
