Not sure why you put climate change in quotes, but it would be helpful to provide the prompt and the response. Without doing so and by using "The Woke Police" and "Thought Taliban", you, too, sound like you are coming directly from a political action group.
Copy excel shortcuts is smart, but no, this will not replace Excel. Transpile VBA into something like python, automagically open and translate Excel files, and then maybe, MAYBE you'd find a niche of other startups that don't want to integrate with the Microsoft stack. Otherwise, good luck.
I should have mentioned that we have developers on Windows, MacOS, and Linux -- which is possibly where my frustration comes from with the struggles of integrating Windows as a development environment.
A few things: reporting lag for death claims are typically 3-18 months. Covid claims are obviously still occurring in 2021. It has been widely reported that non covid related deaths during the pandemic, specifically related to heart disease and diabetes, were much higher likely due to delayed medical consultation.
I didn’t take the time to read more of who this is but I question their understanding of how financials for life insurance work. “$6 billion increase in expenses is hard to weather.” Actually, no, it’s called reserves and you are statutorily required to hold them.
This seems like a puff piece of intellectual dishonesty to push an unsubstantiated claim that the covid vaccine is causing deaths, and there is some sort of conspiracy around it.
This looks great. I've thought about something similar to this for quite a while now. Column autocomplete is key for me from a quality of life perspective and to make it truly usable.
I'd absolutely love to see the next level of this pipeline be continued where something like Observable Plot or ggplot2 like functionality where you can take your pipeline data analysis and directly plot it to visualize it.
The tone of your comment is intentionally antagonistic, but I agree with the underlying concept.
I think we can see inflation as a direct result of excess globalism, especially lean supply chains, and changes in underlying customer demand, i.e., the basket of products consumers are wanting was different than pre-pandemic. All of these are supply side problems, but it seems to reason that at least part of the pent up demand is a result of new consumer cash. I'd argue it's a political scapegoat though.
You’ve said QE is the cause, but provide no evidence to back up these claims. Considering QE occurred multiple times after the 08 crisis, what makes this time different? Bold claims without much substance.
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?
Viral frequents HN so I will be curious to see if he engages this directly in a productive manor.
There are many great qualities of Julia, and I've wanted to love it and use it in production. However, coming from the tooling and correctness of Rust leaves me thinking something is just missing in Julia. One of the links in the post references "cowboy" culture. While I don't think this is the correct nomenclature, there is a sense with looking at the package ecosystem and even Julia itself that makes me think of the pressure in academia to publish constantly. I'm not sure what to make of that, and it's simply a feeling.
Although I think I still ironically end up finding out about the outages on HN first.
