Look into Chris Newman at Sylvanaqua farms. Scale and social-economic accessibility are some of the big ones. He critiques a pattern of "circle citation" within the community.

How do you suggest that people in these lower income communities stop "accepting" this status quo?

I used to listen to Bach's Musical Offering when studying for my qualifying exams. I think the repetition of the main theme through the piece contributed to my focus

Cool! I found it a little unintuitive that after each stroke, it reset to the pointer tool. I would've expected to be able to draw more lines without pressing 'X' each time. Also, as a mathematician, I would love some Unicode

Your first link is not working for me on mobile. Thanks for the clarification though. Exp(x^2) is a finite composition of a polynomial and an exponential function so from what you posted, it does fall into the Wikipedia definition of elemen

I don't think it makes sense to the same degree. Simple compositions of elementary functions, e.g. exp(x^2), do not have indefinite integrals. Autodiff provides benefit since differentiation can be expensive numerically while easier sy

I definitely think that we shouldn't be criminalizing drugs. I've had some good experiences and some bad experiences on both LSD and mushrooms and believe that they could be beneficial in medical settings under the right supervisi

I actually was able to solve this for myself. As often happens, I went to ask for help on Slack but first wanted to understand the problem better. Turns out, our old IT director (who was not loved in the dept because he was constantly takin

Thanks for the reply! Yes I've pushed for it to get updated but haven't seen any results due to IT turnover. Always excited to hear more performance improvements, yay :) shout out to the Julia dev team for doing great, intentional

I've been using Julia as my CLI calculator for a few years now - cool to see this post! While teaching an online Linear Algebra class, I would use Julia to construct examples and quickly solve them. The syntax sugar of all the function

Appreciate this post. I remember when I first started using Julia, I wanted to type every argument to every function because I thought static typing made me hip. Ran into a lot of problems with my types not being wide enough, etc. and had n

My (math graduate school) perspective: MATLAB is adored in academia for a number of reasons. It is easy to make readable small scripts for in-class examples. The debugging feature/IDE is easy to navigate. The school pays for the licens

Grad student at a math department here- I see python used in tons or research applications with fellow students studying math, engineering, stats, etc. But in my experience Matlab still reigns king in math academia, especially in classroom

Doubt this is on topic, thanks for the heads up though. Tried calling a few times, at first got the same 2 minutes of silence but sometimes went straight to the message. Once you get on the ACA prompt you can hit 1 to support it without wai

Yeah from what I've seen, Trump supporters are NOT embarrassed to be Trump supporters. Media and liberals are embarrassed for the Trump supporters but the actual supporters are proud and see the media as condescending

New in Sierra, they allow for native remapping of caps lock to esc. I had been using a 3rd party solution to do this before the update. Won't make everyone happy but the number of Vim users using the Esc key as opposed to Ctrl+[ (or ca
