This looks really nice! I'm interested in how the CI works though. One thing that annoys me about existing CI is that it's difficult to run locally and relatedly, config files don't work cross platform. I'd love a CI pla

The problem is that we call the things in square brackets indexes, when we should probably call them offsets

The third hole is _offset_ by 2, but if you ask a carpenter to add number labels to your pigeonholes, they are going to start at 1. Indexes start at 1, offsets start at 0.

I think problems is too strong a word, it's just how the syntax looks. And of course it's far better than say C++. But specifically, the lack of native vectors/matrices and very few infix operators (e.g dot product, and matri

I don't agree at all with your last paragraph. MATLAB and Julia are lovely for numerics, maths is terse and looks like maths! Mojo is hobbled by choosing Python style syntax, which does not lend itself well to maths. WRT the type syste

In the Dictator's Handbook the authors argued that FIFA and IOC function similar to autocratic dictatorships because there is a small group of people who are essential to power. Therefore it is rational to buy them rather than do the r

It's less compromised, but it's still basing the answer on compromised queries. This is why I pay for independent reviews (e.g Which) where their incentives are more aligned with yours.

A single energy source having a capacity factor of 10% does not imply that gas plants will have to run 90% of the time. It ignores storage, over-provisioning, aggregation of uncorrelated sources etc. Not to mention that wind typically has a

Could you give some sources for this? I can't seem to find anything with a cursory search, but I'd be interested in reading.

The JuliaParallel/rodinia repo says that the focus of those benchmarks is the CUDA versions. I suspect that the CPU versions have not had much optimization effort spent on them. Julia isn't a magic wand, but you can usually get wi

I broadly agree that it can be hard to nail down Julia's behaviour but it does have static typing and I think it is more subtle. Function arguments and variables can be concrete types e.g. if you were implementing an approximation for

Do any of the Scottish National Party, Plaid Cymru or Sinn Féin count? I have no doubt there are similar elsewhere...

I'm surprised it isn't mentioned in the article, but you can get rid of yellow stains by putting your clothes out in the sun.

I'm not an expert, but a very quick search showed a meta analysis[1] which considers the false positives of using volatile biomarkers as a diagnosis. The original paper[2], of which Joy is co-author has a much smaller sample size, but

Computing convolutions using FFTs is efficient for large kernels (or filters). Most convolutions in popular ML models have small kernels, a regime where it is typically more efficient to reformulate the convolution as a matrix multiplicatio
