I think you are making exactly his point. Practicing code as a craft, caring about how you do it, how well you do it, and what it’s ultimately used for is, as you correctly point o…

Well, in Julia, for one.

The simplest way to do this is described here: https://mathworld.wolfram.com/SpherePointPicking.html Essentially: 1. Generate uniformly random values u,v between 0 and 1. 2. Then f…

If you select "All data" for their user count, you'll notice a sharp shift in the gradient of the user count about a year ago. Any idea what would cause this?

Since no one else has mentioned it, I appreciated the Arrested Development references. Very cute.

These results are promising and hopefully carry over to the upcoming Strix Halo which I’m eagerly awaiting. With a rumoured 40 compute cores and performance on par with a low power…

What about Nextflow?

If your project depends heavily on general purpose GPU programming, you might start one in C++. This was the case for a project I am working on that was started in the last year. T…

2008.

I’m really unsure why this is front page. For a hacker news audience that has little knowledge of Aotearoa New Zealand history, this is an odd first introduction that has historica…

You should read a little more closely before such strong condemnations. The Julia macros @btime and the more verbose @benchmark are specially designed to benchmark code. They perfo…

Whilst the Julia version currently beats Mojo, I fully expect both to approach basically the same performance with enough tinkering, and for that performance to be on par with C or…

Thanks for that. That’s quite a different meaning.

Not to be confused with the Julia binary building platform of the same name ( https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil )

In case you were wondering like I was: “The Linux kernel's stateless video decoder interface is used for video decoding where no state needs to be kept between processed video fram…

Most of these features were covered at last year’s JuliaCon. Videos are all online - worth checking out!

Interferometry relies on measuring the interference pattern between two points simultaneously measuring incoming radio waves. Each element of a baseline must be measured at the sam…

I'm confused how the Doppler shift is measured in the case of the continuously modulated frequency? It seems both range and Doppler shift are encoded in the reflected signal - how …

No. Carbon credits are meant to create a market for the right to emit carbon dioxide, ideally where the total credits are fixed and reducing per year. What you're talking about are…

There’s a number of words like this that won’t autocomplete unless it’s seen it first. Another one: condom.

The same could be said of a lot of modern art: it is heavily influenced/driven by the critics, not the enjoyment/pleasure/surprise of a more general audience (who just don't "get" …

Develop against CUDA locally. Port my kernels to ROCm, and occupy a whole HPC node for debugging and performance tuning for a week. It’s terrible. Edit: I should say that their rec…
