It's a muddy comparison given that NumPy is commonly used with other BLAS implementations, which the author even lists, but doesn't properly address. Anaconda defaults to Intel oneAPI MKL, for example, and that's a widely use

Some packages already use those. For previous Python versions, those are available in typing_extensions: https://typing-extensions.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

"Linux x86_64" is present on my UA on Linux, and "Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64" on Windows. Probably a bug or just untested on Firefox. Just a bit annoying. I'll add that this is the first site that misdetects anythi

Not only that, when using Firefox (Chrome seems fine), it's selected by default on Windows and Linux.

Interesting, thanks for the links. By the way, the one I mentioned was in r/learnpython, which is probably not exactly the ideal audience for such a feature.

I maintain a few niche (electric power systems) packages, and I wouldn't mind a one-time or yearly fee, or a fee per project created. I say this as a Brazilian who lived in the middle of nowhere and managed to have a website in the 90&

Last year when something like this happened, it came out that there's a legal representative in Rio: https://www1.folha.uol.com.br/internacional/en/brazil/2022/0...

It uses Mapbox GL JS v2.x, which is no longer open-source and is tied to the TOS, so the distinction of using Mapbox tiles or not doesn't seem to matter. Just loading the library requires a token from Mapbox.

GIMP already supported ARM though, this is about "Apple Silicon". Since the post itself doesn't mention specific challenges, I guess it serves more to inform macOS users of the availability than foster discussion or provide a

Another benefit that is often overlooked is that Parquet support various compression methods, right? SQLite's official support for compression is a commercial product, so basically useless for general usage in free open-source software

To complement, dynamic arrays ("array of ...") are always 0-based in Delphi and Free Pascal. This was apparently introduced in Delphi 4 (1998).

I guess they don't like that people can generate their own vector tiles more easily nowadays, or services like Maptiler [0] (see [1] for some more context) that provide tiles at lower costs. [0]: https://www.maptiler.com&#x2

For physics, I think that's true. For other fields in general, it probably varies a lot (I'd love to see some numbers). We live in bubbles but we should try to remember that our bubbles don't represent the whole world.

> Most people in Julia's target audience know latex already Is Julia's target audience really that small? Either that or you'd be surprised how many people don't use LaTeX but do write scientific code and papers.
