> As Andrew Stanton, director of Finding Nemo and WALL-E, put it: "My strategy has always been: be wrong as fast as we can... which basically means, we're gonna screw up, let's just admit that. Let's not be afraid of that. You can't get to adulthood before you go through puberty. I won't get it right the first time, but I will get it wrong really soon, really quickly."

> Stay hungry, _stay foolish_

Re:Julia for Numerical Computation in MIT Courses on Tuesday November 26, 2013 @09:46AM (#6801540)
Gotcha. I see people are trying to use numpy for CPU intense computations (eg. FFT back and forth), and then they ask why it SO slow?!..
Re:Julia for Numerical Computation in MIT Courses on Tuesday November 26, 2013 @05:31AM (#6800308)
hm... why teach Julia, if everything (90%) in numerical/scientific community is Fortran/C(++) ?
Practical question for all those JS/CSS hackers: Can we do something like this extension for YT: Disqus comments on any site (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/60946)
