That same format string is used in multiple places, and unfortunately I don't think the text engine they expose to us is smart enough to do the ordinal 1st 2nd 3rd thing.
As an administrator at Julia's discourse, I'd be really curious if this was the reason. Discourse's default "short date" format is super problematic. By default, they display something from 5 days ago as `Mar 20` and something from a year ago as `Mar '20`. We've changed that to have the year+ old posts display as `Mar 2020`, but maybe we should also change the recent display to be something different; maybe `20 Mar`? The UI doesn't give us too much space, unfortunately.
The feature I'm most excited about is the parallel — and automatic — precompilation. Combined with the iterative latency improvements, Julia 1.6 has far fewer coffee breaks.
This seems to assume some background knowledge of the situation, of which I had none. Here's a quick primer:
> He left The New York Times in 2021 following public reports of making racist remarks, including use of the word "nigger", during a 2019 trip to Peru with high school students. McNeil claims he intended to quote the word in a discussion about the use of the slur.
> Resistive memory technologies could be used to create intelligent systems that learn locally at the edge. However, current approaches typically use learning algorithms that cannot be reconciled with the intrinsic non-idealities of resistive memory, particularly cycle-to-cycle variability. Here, we report a machine learning scheme that exploits memristor variability to implement Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling in a fabricated array of 16,384 devices configured as a Bayesian machine learning model. We apply the approach experimentally to carry out malignant tissue recognition and heart arrhythmia detection tasks, and, using a calibrated simulator, address the cartpole reinforcement learning task. Our approach demonstrates robustness to device degradation at ten million endurance cycles, and, based on circuit and system-level simulations, the total energy required to train the models is estimated to be on the order of microjoules, which is notably lower than in complementary metal– oxide–semiconductor (CMOS)-based approaches.
Citation needed. Yes, the -1 appears in the source code. It might even appear in the intermediate representation. It'll even show up in the assembly for multidimensional arrays (but it'll all get folded into a single `mov` assembly for vectors).
But I dare you to actually demonstrate a performance difference. Compared to a memory access, a `dec` is free.
I'm not "free" to ignore stop signs, stop lights, and speed limits. They impact my freedom to drive as I'd wish -- because otherwise I might hurt you.
I'm not "free" to start cooking commercially out of my home kitchen without inspections and licensing. This impacts my ability to earn an income -- because otherwise I might make you sick.
It's public health risk mitigation. We do it all the time.
