#Julialang and #Python: Slowly Converging lee-phillips.org/juliabook/tr...

The response to my #Typst article* suggests that Typst is gaining ground much more rapidly than even I expected: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4539... #latex #physics #mathematics #typsetting *https://lwn.net/Articles/1037577/

A = [1, 2, 3] B = [3, 4, 5] x = 9 x ∈ A ∪ B # -> false Writing code using symbols in Julia feels like scribbling in a math notebook — except this one actually runs. It takes some time to get habituated, but then you get hooked. #julialang #computing

I just released Raycore.jl - a high-performance ray tracing engine for Julia with CPU and GPU support! It will power a new photorealistic rendering backend for Makie.jl, but we made it modular and flexible to support any other use case Full post: makie.org/website/blog... #JuliaLang #RayTracing

“Practical Julia” is designed to teach scientists how to use the best language for science, with chapters on #physics, #mathematics, #biology, #statistics, and more. amzn.to/3Jn1QdR A review: lwn.net/Articles/966... #julialang

github.com/bgreenwell/doxx: A new terminal program providing a lovely display of .docx files. It’s great to be able to read these files without firing up a GUI monstrosity such as LibreOffice. Its only defect is the inclusion of an option for “AI” summaries of the document.

You can use Typst today even if you need to produce a LaTeX manuscript: lee-phillips.org/typstfilters/ #typt #latex #physics #mathematics #computerscience #science

And perhaps spare a thought for the woman who created the foundation for modern theoretical physics: amzn.to/3YZZB4W

Happily using #julialang on my Android phone. It can take the place of a multitude of “apps”.

This is pretty incredible work by @cncastillo.bsky.social! Really exciting to see #medical #imaging continue to grow within #julialang -- especially the GPU acceleration via KomaMRI.jl (link: github.com/JuliaHealth/...) Plus, the @makie.org plots look fantastic! #dataviz #academicsky

My company is based in #Seattle, and we mostly use #Julialang. We're thinking of hosting a Julia meetup, maybe mid-Dec. Maybe a couple of talks, pizza, etc. Any thoughts? Would you attend?

The new character-level justification in Typst is amazing. Look at the example at: staging.typst.app/docs/referen... I was skeptical but it really works. Read more about Typst at: lwn.net/Articles/103...

Many people learn a language by skimming its docs, diving in, and Googling when things don’t work. I’ve been guilty of this too, but it’s not the best approach. Better to get a solid foundation from a good book first. All the #julialang books on Amazon: t.co/NsJAnn7oBm

adactio.com/journal/22213 I agree with Jeremy Keith that websites commenting on other websites is far better than “social media”, and am sad about what could have been.

The book “Practical Julia” contains many working examples in #physics #biology #statistics, and more. I’ve never enjoyed scientific #programming more than after learning #julialang. From simulation to data visualization, it’s a joy to work with. lee-phillips.org/juliabook/pr...
