Been using JuMP as a central part of a big project at work for the past 18 months and it's been great. Very intuitive to use, and lots of helpful responses on GitHub or discourse wherever there's been questions about the best way

Really nice to see so many little useability improvements -- like easy temporary envs, syntax highlighting in dependency conflict errors, and more partially-applied functions -- as well as more significant language development on threading,

Funny you should mention the asterisk, as the author of JuliaMono has just written a brilliant blog post about it: https://cormullion.github.io/pages/2020-10-09-asterisk/

Similar functionality is available in Julia via [NamedDims.jl]( https://github.com/invenia/NamedDims.jl/ ) And in other packages, such as [AxisArrays.jl]( https://github.com/JuliaArrays/AxisArray

If they might enjoy something on computing, I'd recommend "The Pattern On The Stone: The Simple Ideas That Make Computers Work" by W.Daniel Hillis. It's very clear and well written, is quite short but covers a lot and c

Automatic differentiation. It's useful to so much computational work, but most people only get a cursory introduction to the topic (a rough intro to the minimum they need to know), whereas really understanding it seems to open up a lot

Nice article! If you like this, you might like the Julia language. It has "lisp macros" but generally has "python-like" syntax Edit: here's a link to docs https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/m

Even newer... so early days, but you might also be intereting `MagneticReadHead.jl`. The debugging instrumentation gets compiled into the code. https://github.com/oxinabox/MagneticReadHead.jl

Julia :) For scientific programming, it's a lot more fun than Python. And so far the community if friendly and responsive.

This post seemed aggressive and vague to me. I'm not even sure what problem the author has with these licenses. I _think_ the issue is confusing naming - which seems pretty solvable - and not a fundamental problem with "dual licen

This is a neat paper - it's an interesting empirical result combining known techniques - but machine learning academics should really know better than to contribute to the over-hyping of results. For example, talking about "dreams
