Seeing the schedule in #julialang conference and the last survey, looks like the community is embracing more the idea of using Rust as a support language.
We can't replace them, but we welcome anyone looking for a friendly, inclusive community to join us at the Data Science Learning Community (@DSLC) https://DSLC.io
My university dropped the campus wide MATLAB license around August last year. It is amusing to see the effect on my GitHub contribution chart. But then I picked up #julialang and now there is more than a recovery :)
Makie is a data visualization ecosystem for the Julia programming language, with high performance and extensibility. It supports various data visualization applications like 2D, 3D, and geospatial plots.
The R4DS Online Learning Community has thousands of members, hundreds of which are active on our Slack every week. You might be wondering: Why not charge those learners? Why is the Community funded through donations?
My weekend side-project: at long last I set some time aside to learn the basics of #julialang. The learning process was a tonne of fun. The thing where it somehow sprawled into a three-part series of blog posts... not so much fun. Anyway here they are... first one is me wrestling with some basic features in language
I wonder how #Mojo can get away with lies regarding its latest benchmark.
Fake news in tech are actually a threat?
Tech entertainers like #ThePrimagen only make things worse by promoting these fake news without validation.
Then he is quoted in a later Mojo blog post spreading bullshit about #RustLang and ignoring #JuliaLang. But debunking posts like this are ignored:
Implementing "Dijkstra's algorithm" or "mesh distance marching". Computes the on-surface dist from one point to all others (i.e. like a heat spreading across the mesh).
From a seed point, we could add the furthest point to the list and reiterate, compute dist, find furthest point, add this point to list, repeat... This will produce an (approximately) equidistant or geodesic set of points. Handy for remeshing, but it does look like David's got the measles. #julialang
Still playing with #julialang. Here's Switzerland in triangles.
@jonocarroll I get a lot of small dark triangles with some images which persist even if I set npts to a high value (5000) and refine as true or false. Any ideas? Thanks again for the package! I'm enjoying seeing what it produces.
STL files give each triangle their own coordinates set. So none of the triangles actually share nodes. So step one, after importing such a mesh, is to merge the nodes. This animation shows vertex normal based "inflation", the left is unmerged, the right is merged.
🎂It's my birthday!🎂
To celebrate, I'm... Working to build a friendly, diverse #DataScience community at https://r4ds.io, just like I do every day! It'd make my day if you supported our efforts at https://r4ds.io/donate !
Every so often I try re-installing R on termux on android to see if it's fixed (some .so doesn't link, even using the latest instructions) but no luck. Last night I was reminded that UserLAnd is another option and hurrah! #rstats, #julialang, #python, and more at my fingertips wherever I go! Great for quick syntax checks/comparisons. Add a BT keyboard and it's a tiny dev machine in my pocket.
