Alternatively, many faculty may be simply adjusting their curves to avoid failing too many students because they are incentivized to avoid giving too many low grades. Lower grades generally result in lower course evals,…
Their review of MacOS 26 is 79 pages when downloaded as a pdf, so they still sometimes have in depth articles. But I agree that that level of detail isn’t as common as in the past.
I've nearly exclusively used Julia since 2017. I don't think this is a perverse use of such functions -- long ago I naturally guessed I could use `cumsum!` on the same input and output and it would correctly overwrite…
The simplest approach is to always read the interface of packages one wants to use, and if one isn't provided look at the code / open an issue to interact with the developers about their input assumptions. One should…
Use spectral methods? But you’d presumably also have to use higher precision number types if you want that many digits.
I’m all for keeping user freedom to install whatever they want, and wish it was easy to do so on my iPhone. I will point out though that if you pay for YouTube premium it has now incorporated the ability to skip…
Yeah, and forget about giving skeleton code to students they should fill in; using an AI can quite frequently completely ace a typical undergraduate level assignment. I actually feel bad for people teaching programming…
I’ve had that happen in notes from an editor telling me that in addition to addressing reviewer comments I should cite a whole bunch of their completely unrelated articles when submitting a revision. But I have also…
General scientific computing is pretty good across the Julia ecosystem, from optimization, to ODE and now PDE solver libraries, to various statistics and inference packages, etc. It lacks the deep NN tooling or breadth…
You can always (slightly) reduce the DiffEq dependencies by adding OrdinaryDiffEq.jl instead of the meta DifferentialEquations.jl package. But lots of those dependencies arise from supporting modular functionality…
I think it remains to be seen how/if its reputation changes given their new approach. It will take a number of years before its impact can really be assessed.
Right, and that is why the same government bodies need to cap the amount that can be paid towards open access fees or page charges via a grant. If grants only provided $200 per publication that would end the ridiculous…
Someone feeling the need to bash other languages is universal. For example, every Julia post here has people bashing it, in a way that is often tangential to the topic of the post. I'm actually surprised this thread…
Why drive to NYC? If one is in DC you can just take the train, especially if then shifting to a train from NYC to Montréal…
As others mentioned, if you are in DC it is easy to take a train to Philly or NY and you can then catch a flight from one of the airports in those areas.
Well played
I don’t think the promotion and prestige incentives can be fixed easily by academics. Their promotion, earnings, ability to change universities, and recognition depend on publishing in the most prestigious journals they…
Grants are only in the millions in certain fields. But more than that, $10K per paper, budgeted for 2-3 papers a year in a 3-5 year grant across all the NIH grants, is a lot of taxpayer money that could be better spent…
It is not just a barrier for researchers without lots of grant funding, but also diverts public funds from funding more research and research personnel to paying significant publication fees. This really needed a…
This is a good thing overall, but it only half addresses the issue. Now journal fees to authors will simply go up to cover the difference, making it harder for researchers without lots of grant funding to publish…
It is useful in determining which packages are dominating a given package’s load times, allowing for a better understanding of where to invest effort to reduce runtimes. This has already helped in directing efforts…
This works great for me too, and is what I use for multiple laptops. Ridiculous there isn’t something better though at this point…
Light hearted fun: Upload (Amazon), Space Force (Netflix), Mr. Mayor (NBC). All involve Parks and Rec, Office and 30 Rock creators.
I actually think these fees are an easy problem to solve, but they can’t be solved by academics themselves due to the incentives (i.e. publishing in these journals plays a big role in promotions and possible future…
