There are two primary criticisms of this move in this thread: C1) This is just hurting ordinary Russian citizens and serves no other purpose. I empathize strongly with the Russians. But I also empathize with the Ukrainians. Since Russia has

Because grep is not a "full text search tool". Full text search [1] is different from regular expression search. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full-text_search

One theoretical objection to this idea is that distances measured have an accuracy limit of Planck length (1.616e-35 meters). So if your number needs more precision then "just mark" step can't be done.

Surprising-ness is a not a good metric to measure social/psychological science research by. Often a statement and its opposite can be intuitive. If the opposite result was stated here one could have easily come up with many "intui

In regular natural language, cutting the ball into 5 pieces implies cutting 5 contiguous pieces. If I say a cake is cut into 5 pieces, no person will consider that each piece contains parts from all parts of the cake.

"cut the ball into 5 pieces" is not the best description. A better one is: 2a. Split the ball into infinite pieces 2b. Divide the infinite pieces into 5 groups

The basic idea is as follows. Lets say you are building an ML model to decide whether to give someone insurance or not. Lets also assume your past behavior had some bias (say against some group). Now ML model trained on this past data will

I did the same, for the last 10 years. And now I don't remember 90% of what I did.

Do you have a citation for this? My google searches have led me to believe this to not be true; see [1] Here is the relevant quote from [1]: "In the context of julia though, compile time type simply do not exist ...." [1]: https

One point I have read repeatedly is that Julia is aimed at High Performance Computing (HPC). Another argument I have read repeatedly is how object oriented programming (with its single dispatch) is bad for HPC because of pointer indirection

I am a researcher, and this seems incredibly useful for me. Will definitely give this a try when Linux builds are available. One feature request that I would suggest is synctex support. I can see this to be being useful when writing a paper

Honest question. Why not just use C/subset of C++ with a template language like Python+Jinja2 for meta programming? Code generation is already popular with popular C++ libraries like protobuf and in game dev.

Performance is the currency which you trade for ease of development, new features, etc. Ignoring performance comes at a cost to you (server side resources) and your users (device resources). This is why generation after generation devices g

While I understand the ease of use pure Python provides, I think when manipulating real binary or in memory data, a little bit of C would really simplify and speed things up. Writing raw C extensions can be a pain, but with Cython or CFFI u
