I am currently using VS Code for my Julia work, but I am considering alternatives. Anyone here who has some experience with the Flexible Julia plugin for PyCharm? What does it do better than VS code? What do you miss from VS code? #julialang plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/29356...

So many great scholars leaving Stats and Computing after Springer Nature announcing an insanely large article processing cost of 2390€ per accepted paper.

I have just resigned from the board of "Statistics and Computing", along with 17 other Associate Editors. This was a difficult decision: this great journal has published many tremendous articles under the leadership of EiC Ajay Jasra, and before him David Hand, Gilles Celeux, and Mark Girolami.

My baby #JuliaLang package got an award! DifferentiationInterface.jl just received a national prize for open-source research software and I couldn't be prouder. We started this from a vague dream with @adrianhill.de, and reached 1000 dependents and 100k downloads last month. Research != just papers.

So me and my buddy chatGPT are now into using Lua filters in the Quarto YAML to hook into the pandoc AST to modify the inline LaTeX at compile time to convert LaTeX syntax to things that render correctly to html. It works, that is all I can tell you.

"Spotify for Linux is a labor of love from our engineers that wanted to listen to Spotify on their Linux development machines. They work on it in their spare time and it is currently not a platform that we actively support." Honest, but weird when you have the money and passionate people. #linux

If you're interested in learning #JuliaLang and are currently an #RStats user (or even if you're not!), then here's a little introduction to getting started! 📊 Blog post: nrennie.rbind.io/blog/introdu... #QuartoPub #Julia @tidierjl.bsky.social

Introduction to Julia for R users – Nicola Rennie

This blog post will give R users an overview of what Julia is and why they might want to use it, introduce some data processing Julia packages, and show how they can incorporate Julia into existing R ...

Yes, the interoperability between Julia and many other languages is amazing! I often work in the other direction, calling for example these from within Julia code: - R (github.com/JuliaInterop...) - Python (github.com/JuliaPy/PyCa...) - Matlab (github.com/JuliaInterop...) from Julia. #julialang

JuliaCall is blowing my mind 🤯, running GPU-accelerated #JuliaLang code from Python was insanely easy!
