Can you give an example where theories and techniques from other fields are reinvented? I would be genuinely interested for concrete examples. Such "reinventions" happen quite ofte…

I am not sure if type K thermocouple are used for meteorological air temperature measurements. These sensors (based on thermal resistance) for example have an accuracy of 0.2 °C un…

It would also be interesting to know how the orbits became quite circular afterwards (relative to the common center of mass).

> Not to mention that on Linux switching the locale may change the interpretation of filenames as characters, which isn’t the case with NTFS. If you change the locale to an uninsta…

The article mentions also that the computers are short-circuiting. I guess that you can lose a lot of energy when there is a short circuit. Maybe with an infrared camera, one can g…

Sadly, several python projects do not use semantic versioning, for example xarray [0] and dask. Numpy can make backward incompatible changes after a warning for two releases[1]. In…

I was asking myself the same question. I would love to see a derivation from e.g. the Navier Stokes equation for this. I think, intuitively, when you draw the streamlines under the…

So we want: 1. free/gratis Linux distribution 2. long support (~ 10 years) 3. not needing to contribute (as a community) It seems that we can only pick two from this list (even a d…

This is true, but you can inspect the package (and its dependencies) once installed and before importing it. Now it is an all manual process (with default tools, as far as I know),…

Here is a "Proof of the Law of Cosines" by the same author: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.4169/amer.math.monthl... But this time not with complex numbers.

Can you give an example of its inconsistency? I would be genuinely interested what are the inconsistency from a Python-perspective. I am former Matlab/Octave user. To me the julia …

I once had an issue with my LG5 phone who entered in a boot-loop (also a common issue with LG4). I don't have a head gun, so I put it in the mainboard of the cell phone in oven for…

The uncompressed wasm binary for a simple fluid simulation in julia is 5k (or 2.7k compressed): https://alexander-barth.github.io/FluidSimDemo-WebAssembly/ But here the wasm code d…

Or just use @. julia> X = [1.,2.,3.]; f=sin; julia> @. X = f(2 * X^2 + 6 * X^3 - sqrt(X))

It took me awhile to get used to the dot operator, but what convinced me that it was a good choice is that also your own function can be broadcasted with function_names.(args). For…

Interestingly most (if not all) python examples also work in julia. Instead of using sum one can also use count, which might be more readable: julia> count(age > 17 for age in ages…

On land, I guess we would agree that an oil spill in a pristine rain-forest is worse than a pristine desert. If you need a quantitative measure, one can use e.g. the number of diff…

I am wondering why the julia lox interpreter is so slow. Could it be that there is a lot of type unstable code or could it be an issue with julia's garbage collector? (I can relate…

> This died a long time ago with the pervasive use of NPM and PIP and the likes. When a malicious package is found on NPM or PIP, it will get removed. However, it is quite unlikely…

Thank you for correcting this! (I get the same numbers as you for a million elements).

I would genuinely interested to see how much bytes a HashMap would have in Java (or other languages) for a million entries. If I am not mistaken in julia, this would be 151 MB in j…

As far as I can tell one of the arguments for wheels is that the "Installation of a C extension does not require a compiler on Linux, Windows or macOS"[0]. I also check some scipy …

One solution that I often hear about Python packages is the use of wheels. But I am wondering how this can work when multiple package depend (directly or indirectly) on a C library…
