• Where can I learn lua

  The official lua website is a pretty good place to go! As well as lua users & tutorials point has a really good tutorial for lua too! The official site may be hard to understand at time (it was for me at least) but that’s why I gave you the other two. they’ll explain it simpler/better than the official site may sometimes. Hope this helps! Source: about 1 year ago

  I have tried a few thins but no luck and found nothing on the web, also looks as if lua.org main forums no longer exist. Source: over 1 year ago

• Why doesn't python fix the "off by one" in ranges?

  Not at all! Lua, for instance, starts indexing at 1. I don't like it personally, but Lua obviously exists and is quite popular. Source: over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Does Your GitHub Repo Need a Landing Page

  I'm really not fond of that agpt landing page. So many red flags; the AI-generated background, mailing letter box with accompanying email-beggar text, the Discord button (!!!) being given as much space as the Github repo click-through... it's a mess. The whole website feels more boilerplate than content. I mean, look at these quotes! > With the help of the incredible open-source community, we’re making... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Why are there no ROS2 bindings for Julia(lang)?

  I’m wondering if there are any attempts for a ROS2 client library for Julia(lang)? I very much like the concepts of Julia and would like to use it in my robotics applications. I believe, that writing code in Julia is very efficient and productive. As a robotics engineer and researcher, I would definitively appreciate the possibility to use ROS2 with Julia.

• AskScience AMA Series: We've identified subsets of Long COVID by blood proteins, ask us anything!

  Kevin is a senior research scientist (read: fancy postdoc) at Wellesley College. He has a PhD in immunology, but transitioned to microbial genomics after graduate school, and now spends most of his time writing code (ask me about julia). His first postdoc was looking at the microbes that grow on the outer surface of cheese (it's a cool model system for studying microbial communities - here's the paper) and now...

• Any Good Alternatives for Matlab?

  Julia is a great alternative in terms of raw speed/performance (not a compatible language). Source: 11 months ago

• What Apple hardware do I need for CUDA-based deep learning tasks?

  If you are really committed to running on Apple hardware then take a look at Tensorflow for macOS. Another option is the Julia programming language which has very basic Metal support at a CUDA-like level. FluxML would be the ML framework in Julia. I’m not sure either option will be painless or let you do everything you could do with a Nvidia GPU. Source: 11 months ago
