Australia has the most installed solar capacity per capita in the world, and has installed nearly 4GW of solar in the last 12 months alone. They're also making strong moves on batt…

Interestingly, "chief" is the same word as "chef" just imported from the Normans. French had a consonant shift, while English did not, and then imported the word again with the new…

Sorry, just saw your thing below. I see your point about [2]float64 vs. [3]float64, but that still feels like mostly an operator overloading thing (I realize it isn't exclusivly). …

I can see the argument for operator overloading being necessary, but I don't understand the argument for generics. There's basically no time I've wanted generics coding Go, except …

For small vectors and matrices the cgo overhead swamps the assembly speedups. For large vectors cache misses dominate, and the assembly doesn't matter as much. It does matter signi…

I don't use Gonum with a webserver + large calculations so I can't definitively answer. No one has reported problems, but that could be a lack of usage. One thing though is that ma…

The algorithms are (basically) equivalent, and are translations from the Fortran (though row major instead of column major). As far as I know there are no major differences in the …

We aren't at full feature parity, but we're pretty close. There are some big things we are missing (ODE, FFT), and we have a bunch of things they don't have (statistical distance m…

General math use, like numpy/scipy.

Oh right, of course, because you're iterating the distribution. Duh. And yea, mat mul is not N^3 theoretically, but most implementations are. I've heard that some (mkl maybe) are 2…

Why do you say it will scale far beyond? Mat mul is N^3 as is eigenvalue solving. It's actually the second highest eigenvalue. The highest eigenvalue is always 1 for stochastic mat…

Though, congregationalists are one of the most pro LGTB churches and have been for a long time

How much code do you have that compilation is 3 minutes?

Removing compiling issues, keeping everything in one language. Plus, when you do, you find bugs. We've found a bunch in lapack implementing gonum (godoc.org/github.com/gonum/lapack…

In the beginning we were still trying to figure out what we wanted. There was a lot of really free-form changes, and it was easier to keep those sweeping changes isolated from one …

Wow! That's a ton of stuff. I wish you were working with us at gonum. Can we work together?

Interactivity can be an important feature for scientific programming, but so is having correct underlying algorithms that are implemented in a clean, composable way. Go is a good l…

Yep

Actually, it's mostly assembly (depending on the particular implementation). Lapack is Fortran though.

Either sort.Interface or a type that implements sort.Interface
