Julia has more than 18k closed issues on its github. No wonder such an active user encountered a lot of it. It's not a problem with the language, though. Yes, it allows to use offsetarrays and @inbounds together, but C can read out-of-memory locations too, so what?

Edit: Julia is better than C in this regard, since the usage of @inbounds is explicit, i.e. everyone can see that the code is potentially unsafe.

Most people. And there's still a ton of "non-technical" (minimal programming/operations skills) but technically literate people who will not run their own servers but prefer to pay for applications and services that are built on protocols like RSS, ActivityPub etc.

Also hosting providers make it much more easy today than ever before. It's not "running your own server" but you get definitely quite a bit of control and ownership if you rent a VPS that runs stuff you created and/or installed.

> "A protocol moves much more slowly than a platform"

That's a good thing.

The power of allowing everyone to make foundational types and functions that work together is indeed dangerous. I'm not sure you are better off in the even more dangerous waters of c/c++/fortran, except that they are older and more established with many times the man-hours sunk into them. Is there a good way to control the interaction of these many different libraries with losing the generality and composability of Julia?

I will say that as a matter of language design 1 based indexing is perfectly fine, 0 based indexing is perfectly fine. Choose your own indexing is a hilarious foot gun, so no surprise it went off sometimes. Fortunately using it seems to be quite rare.

Isn't it like it has always been in human history? You don't need to prove anything if your goal is total destruction of your enemy and everything associated with them. Just do what you think will harm them the most. Until the total destruction of one or another side. Or the whole humanity.

The only thing I don't understand here is why some people act surprised when that same enemy fight back using the same or similar means? Like seizing property and assets of companies, citizens, and administration of one state, and then complaining that intellectual property of your administration, company, or citizens might not be respected in that same country?

I have two cats, one is quite clever and responds to her name, dinner, hop up (for it's ok if you want to sit on my lap) and a few other things. I can ask her to get one of her toys too if she wants the play. She also very rarely meows.

The other cat is not so bright, if you ever say anything to him directly he'll only meow back and come over for a pat, that's it. It's just a back and forth screaming match if you talk to him. The chopsyest cat I've ever met. Just shouts at everyone and everything without purpose.

Totally anecdotal evidence, but I have two cats and I give them "wet" food once a day. If one of them is far from the food bowls I say his name and he immediately comes running.

doesn't seem to be a logical part of your argument. Writing useless papers is not a form of insurance nor proof that work is being done. It's rather the end product, what all the 'insurance' is trying to ensure gets done. The fact that academia outputs a torrential flood of useless papers has little relevance to the corporate world where the final product is, hopefully, useful despite sometimes being inefficient to get there. After all companies that produce truly useless outputs do eventually get the rug pulled from underneath them, either by bankruptcy or forced sale.

Crypto: Planning to create a new Coin/Token. Where should I start?
Hi!

I've created a physical coin for a village where people could buy with it on the stores. Tourists bought it not only for use also to have it as a remembering of the village. I ended up making thousands on an old blacksmit-mill. The story behind is powerful, hundreds of years ago people from the village, bought, to the King, their land and got free. With their own jurisdiction and governance. Here in Spain.

Now that I'm into learning Solidity, I would like to create a Token that represents this coin on the crypto scene. For this, would appreciate any help giving me any advice where to start. I already found some great resources to create tokens. But none of type transactional.

So as I said any help will be appreciated
What does right prompt do, and what happens if the text you're typing runs into it?
Sort of agree. My initial understanding was that web3 was essentially a P2P solution with IPFS, Federated social graphs, decentralized p2p messaging and RTC stuff, and awaiting decentralized DNS. My current understanding or impression is that it's a coin wallet in my ~browser and I have to mine shit coins via storing and computing stuff on what will certainly be FAANGs behalf.
Maybe, but that doesn't impact existing hardware. So unless this upgrade includes things like newer CPUs or more ram/disk for a droplet that doesn't apply, and as far as I can tell, the hardware I started on 4 years ago is the same. At least they've not advertised any new CPUs or increased disk or ram.

It's not about demand, though - it's about people being physically unable to leave and buy a car. It's not necessarily comparable to Europe because nowhere in Europe was pursuing the same zero COVID policy that China is, and it's tough to imagine that they'll ever achieve that on any kind of a long-term basis. Given that, who knows how long these restrictions will stay in place.

Sweden has about zero chance of ever going against American/western Europe, short of having a puppet regime instated by Russia.

Turkey would have zero reason to be pro-west in any way without NATO. They've basically been the one fairly stable Muslim-majority, non-oil dictatorship in the Middle East for decades now and it's much better to keep them as a lukewarm ally than have them be an outright enemy.

Vietnam is in a similar position. They're not exactly friends with the US, but the fact they have more motivation to be anti-China than anti-US is a good reason to not antagonize them. They're a strong antagonist against the US's enemies more than they are a full-on ally of the US, and that's a perfectly fine partnership to have.
Good comments, Chris. I think the author has a little bit of nuance in that Julia isn't correct in the specific use cases he needs them to be. While your point is also well taken that Julia is correct in cases where other languages aren't as well.

I'm a little unfamiliar with the versioning in the package ecosystem, but would you say most packages follow or enforce SemVer? Would enforcing a stricter dependency graph fix some of the foot guns of using packages or would that limit composability of packages too much?
"We undercount active users whose accounts are protected, accounts that view tweets but don’t send any, and accounts that log in and engage in other ways beyond tweeting (like favoriting or adding profiles to lists)."

My markup. If I understand correctly, not having a public tweet is a marker for being a spam account. Isn't that kind of a lot of people? I know from other forums that there's a large ratio between lurkers and active posters.

Given that you need an account to customise your timeline, and, these days, pretty much for just reading a tweet, there may be loads of real reader accounts that never post and never bother customizing their profile.

Long and close observation of cats leads me to the inescapable conclusion that the latter is almost always the case. The number of times they understand some obscure thing exactly when I have no expectation that they'll get it at all, and their ability to selectively ignore the things I know they already understand, plus their ability to ask for complex things (where often I'm the dummy in the conversation) makes it a pretty inescapable conclusion. . .

In this case it's because it's just wrong. Sweden is by and large a peaceful, democratic, liberal democracy that has free markets and cooperates with NATO member states on a variety of areas. In other words, the interests and values are very closely aligned. The reason we would have Turkey "out" here is because of a misalignment of values - i.e. Turkey is (or would in this case) diverge from the shared interests of the majority of NATO members. I mean, to point this out from the start there's absolutely no reason for Turkey to object over Sweden joining NATO in the first place. The very act of that objection is a divergence from the rest of the group's shared values.

But this is also mostly a nothing-burger because Turkey's public messaging is different from its private messaging. Erdogan will get an internationally inconsequential bone for domestic audiences and will happily vote Sweden (and Finland) in to NATO.

NATO wouldn't do this without having all the members already in agreement with expansion. That's how things work at this level.

Sounds a bit fatalistic. I don't think they can claim ignorance at this point. India might have its challenges but it is also a nuclear power with a space program and access to all sorts of technical solutions. Burning more coal when you are about to deal with mass casualties due to wet bulb heat events caused by global warming does not sound like it's a plan at all. IMHO those coal plants will cost them more than they are going to deliver in value to them.

I'm all for international collaboration on this. That was what cop 26 was about. India ended up blocking a more positive outcome there together with China. They have their reasons. But especially India is going to have a front row seat to the misery caused by global warming. This is a problem that they are going to have to deal with one way or another. Coal is not the answer. It's part of the problem, they need to lead not follow here.

Besides, India's GDP is getting there in terms of size. About the same size as the UK; bigger than Russia. They are not an impoverished nation anymore but a growth economy.

Says a user named "Followerwonk" ... to be fair, they do profer a method for reproducing their results. I am guessing that there are some bots they are missing ... ones that are close to passing the Turing Test.
My hot take is that 1-based indexing is often a mistake in math too. It's also not universal, even within math. And linear algebra doesn't need 1-based indexing either, and some operations are even more easily expressed with 0-based indexing.

> Want to become rich? Make a search engine which indexes the fresh relevant data from the big siloed websites, and ignores the general dead Internet.

That would be a great service, but it certainly wouldn't make you rich. Where's the money going to come from? Google got rich because they acquired an ads platform (DoubleClick) and an analytics platform (Urchin) and started monetizing the vast amounts of data they had. That was years after Google had established goodwill as the best search engine.
I think the way the article does it just provides an easy, symbolic way to reference the computed value... so it gives a little readability, it's maybe easier to ensure your where clause and index match up.

Also, depending on your access patterns, you might want the generated column to be stored (evaluated on write) rather than virtual (evaluated on read).
You can, but then I don’t see the point of making it a colouring book.

What kind of de-escalation is possible when it's Russia attacking the Ukrainian territory? Also it's not like RF can be trusted to stick to agreements, so what's the point in talks?
For what it's worth many people feel similarly about R. R is great for people actively working in statistics research (I assume because that's what I'm always told).
