I believe BuildKit solves the dependency graph problem. Docker has shipped with it since 18.09. It is opt-in for now so you have to use e.g. `DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build ...`. h…

Can you elaborate on your experience? I have great respect for Rich Hickey and I recently saw a cool talk about a financial startup using Clojure in production [1]. I have kept tra…

I like to watch talks by programming language designers. Some that readily come to mind are Rich Hickey, Joe Armstrong (RIP), and Stefan Karpinski. Some of my favorites are: - Simp…

There was a huge discussion shortly after Julia 1.0 was released regarding scoping [1]. Beginners intuitively think of scoping in a manner different from the way scoping should wor…

Yep Microsoft has the good habit of dogfooding its own products. All of Office 365 uses Azure AD for identity management.

I love how easy it is to view the machine code for a function. Julia actually ships with a handful of these introspection macros: https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/devdocs/reflectio…

"Language agnosticism" is an ideal I have never been able to attain. Sure, I can hack together a solution on the first week of learning a language. But, am I able to write elegant,…

Vice made a mind-blowing series on this if anyone wants to see with their own eyes: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLw613M86o5o7a0FGlPRdt...

People seem to focus on the volume of cars. But traffic is not just a matter of volume but of friction between cars. Reducing the friction (naively) appears to be a simpler problem…

There is a very cool Julia library: https://github.com/Evizero/UnicodePlots.jl

One way is to show that, given a state of the universe, it is possible to determine the next state. From what I understand, this does not seem to be the case.

I don't know Julia's history, but it sits right next to CommonLisp in my head.

Racket has a special place in my heart. Racket, together with https://htdp.org/ , helped me reach a point where I felt my code truly reflected the structure I was modeling. It help…

This is a known `Pkg` bug (the patch should be merged this week). In the meantime, you have to `pkg> rm SymEngine` followed by `pkg> add SymEngine#master`.

Apologies, I wasn't trying to be pedantic. My point is that Juno is decoupled from the language itself. You don't have do depend on it to be productive with Julia. I agree that too…

JuliaComputing is not Julia the language

To be fair, points 1,2, and 4 are regarding the ecosystem, not the language. There are definitely rough edges, but one can not expect a fully mature ecosystem only a few months aft…
