This is almost a cliche of people who don't know shit shout cuba. They've had an Internet for years with no wifi. They have mechanics that can reliably work on cars from a half century ago. Cuba is a wealth of intelligent engineer

Why would you make that point and imply that my opinion matches up just because other people think that way? Saudi politics are possibly more detestable than Cuba. Id have said as much if I figured some clueless HN user would pigeon hole my

Don't you think they'd have thought that through? I admire your diligent concern, but I thought the same thing for a split second and dismissed it. I can't imagine even a corporate churn machine with the most reckless abandon

The software release of the year, easily. What an incredible journey the team has had this far. A very approachable group of people involved with the project have tirelessly given their work to the Julia language and finally, FINALLY the 1.

What is the net outcome of a trade war? Is it just money shifting around? I'm not squeamish about putting some pain on China, but who's to say they won't resume the same tactics later on?

Dart excommunicated server side dart. If I were someone who has already been let down once by that decision and is already frustrated by the extremely lackluster library story for server side dart, why should I use dart? Flutter is the only

Opera is incredibly smooth, works on every device I own, it's fast. The new ownership situation isn't optimal but the quality hasn't gone to shit yet imo. I remember when opera used to have an IMAP client built in and you cou

Those people generally aren't of the same caliber as Matlab programmers. I'm talking about professional-grade numerical work. People use matlab or R for this currently. Mathematica too. These people, who are very talented mathemat

I've actually wondered about that too! My uncle has a bunch of old rifle optics equipment. Very unusual reticles on some of them!

Do countries like Germany, with rich, relatively recent military history have schools where people go to learn all the different models of bomb that they used back in WW2? How do they keep all that important knowledge circulating for defusa

I wish Pokemon Go had been the game we've all actually been waiting on. With familiar Pokemon PVP and real-world Pokemon scavenging. The gym concept they have is just not that much fun. But I guess the advantage to Pokemon go is being

To hijack this thread a different direction for a moment, is this type of change one that would be allowed to occur in 1.x? How is it determined what changes are suitable for 1.x and what will wait for 2.0, once 1.0 is released? I'm ve

I really enjoy seeing Julia devs so invested and up-to-date with projects and experiments like this, because isn't this the bread and butter of technical computing? The nitty gritty of making all these bits and bytes do work! So cool.

Do you find there are a lot of people in your circle that post those? My friends (I'm 54) are probably older and more boring than yours, but like if I open Facebook right now there will be grandbaby pictures, look what I did in my shed

It's fascinating stuff. Those are the types of people our society will need a thousand years from now when we're coordinating larger structures in space. Maybe even coordinating builders/supplies from different planets!

I'm not so familiar with the academic side of things as much as I am finance and corp side of things. Academic roles probably benefit a lot more from the more rigorously designed language/platfrom R offers. Not to mention the matu

Yeah, talking about partisan politics, while not fun, it is necessary occasionally, is impossible on HN. Talking about certain people and their decisions in tech is not possible also. I don't think downvotes are useful inputs, personal

F# gets used a lot in finance. If you're in the NY area with F# experience you could easily find a contract or maybe a position. When Julia 1.0 drops, there will be some shifting around as the industry begins the Matlab exodus. But not

What's wrong with any of this? People who are using and selling drugs are criminals like any other type of criminal. Civil forfeiture is fucked, sure, but the rest of the consequences sound pretty fair. Break the law, you pay the price
