I went to a small liberal arts school where the IT department recruited CS students under work study to build the systems. It’s a good learning experience for students to be involved in constructing and maintaining the infrastructure that keeps the university running. I don’t mean this entirely as in cost savings, but because I like the idea of a university being self maintained.

I would be surprised if the code was hidden from other people engineers.

We have tons of space on earth. Cooling in space would be so expensive.

This author assumes that open sourcing a package only delivers value if is added as a dependency. Publicly sharing code with a permissive license is still useful and a radical idea.

I hope humans are like Cyanobacteria in that in destroying the environment we create the substrate for something grander.

What language do you think they should have based Mojo off of? I think Python syntax is great for tensor manipulation.

The issue with R is that there is too much dsl. This is great for one-off analysis but makes building a cohesive large code base really difficult.

I know about ghostship, but I don’t immediately associate the word ghost ship with that disaster. I’ve always thought of them as the spooky abandoned ships that float around and I think it’s a good name.

One of the best books I’ve ever read is The Making of the Atomic Bomb Book by Richard Rhodes. If you want an extremely in-depth history of the science and people behind Manhattan project, I would highly recommend reading it.

I don’t believe I’m exaggerating. You can replace “Clojure” with “Jesus” in the linked article and it still makes sense.

The Clojure community is extremely cult like. I worked with a dev who tried to push Datomic, and despite the huge flaws with his system, and the fact that it was closed source, he would continuously tout how much better it was than a relational database. I don’t believe the hype.
