    FWIW, Julia does segment its method tables into multiple layers depending upon size and type. Multiple dispatch is a strict superset of single-dispatch, and indeed the first layer …

    Thanks for the report: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/40190 Edit: it's now building: https://github.com/JuliaLang/docs.julialang.org/runs/2196972...

    That same format string is used in multiple places, and unfortunately I don't think the text engine they expose to us is smart enough to do the ordinal 1st 2nd 3rd thing. Edit: oh,…

    The problem is a minor placement issue for the `@simd` macro: https://github.com/kostya/benchmarks/pull/317

    As an administrator at Julia's discourse, I'd be really curious if this was the reason. Discourse's default "short date" format is super problematic. By default, they display somet…

    Benefits are highly regional. Where I live, the current latest sunrise is 8:06 am on December 5. I can't imagine a sunrise after 9am being very fun.

    Sure, there is a subset of behaviors for which this style makes sense, but it's just as well supported by simply defining your own functions alongside the struct.

    Julia will be able to generate c-compatible .so/.dlls in a not so distant future.

    I actually find it far more linguistic, that is, more akin to natural languages. In my view, it's not multiple dispatch per se that is the bigger departure from traditional OOP, it…

    Yeah, you (used to?) be able to do multi-room audio with the original Airplay, but it was only supported from Macs. iOS did not support it.

    Lots of the sciml.ai packages and documentation use Weave — you can look there for some examples. Here's one: https://diffeq.sciml.ai/stable/tutorials/sde_example/

    Yeah, but this is a laptop chip at ~20W. Of course it's not going to compete with a 16-core 120W monster. Getting 1/4 of the performance with 1/4 of the (high perf) cores and 1/6 o…
